4 - Using guitar/mic/instrument with effects

For solo acts or small ensembles, iRig MIX enables you to connect a
guitar, keyboard or dynamic microphone on its instrument input and
perform real-time processing of the audio signal using applications such
as AmpliTube (for guitar, bass and keyboard players) or VocaLive (for
singers) or any other app that does real-time effect processing using the
mini-jack of your mobile device as an input. To do this:
1. Connect the channel 1 input to your mobile device running AmpliTube
or VocaLive using one of the included 1/8" / 3.5mm cables.
2. Ensure X-SYNC switch is set to OFF by moving it to its left position.
3. Connect the channel 3 input to your dynamic microphone or your
instrument (guitar, bass, keyboard, etc).
4. Use the instrument knob to adjust the input level of your instrument.
On AmpliTube and VocaLive, go to SETUP and set the app IN LEVEL
parameter to center (0 dB). Then adjust the Instrument knob on iRig MIX
so that IN LEVEL indication on the app peaks at max only occasionally.
With this setup, the signal going into channel 3 will be sent to the mobile
device, processed by the app with its effects, and then sent back to iRig
MIX on channel 1 allowing for further control of the gain, bass, treble and
volume controls of the processed audio signal on iRig MIX.
In this configuration you can also still use channel 2 of the mixer to play
any type of track from a second mobile device or any other audio source
such as a CD player, MP3 player, etc. to use as external backing tracks
or for other purposes.
NOTE: you can use channel 3 for connecting microphones or other
instruments while using the mixer for DJ mixing with one or two devices.
In this case, remember to keep the X-SYNC switch to ON position. This
way, you can use the channel 3 for voice or instrument performances over
the mixed tracks. In this setup, the instrument knob will adjust its volume.
