AmpliTube for iPhone updated to 2.0 - allows you to play along at your own speed

amplitube iRigThis week, the guys from IK Multimedia released version 2.0 of AmpliTube for the iPhone. We took a closer look at AmpliTube 1.0 back in June and were pretty impressed with what it had to offer. Since then, uses have requested the ability to import songs and play them at a custom, slower tempo. Fortunately, IK Multimedia has responded.

AmpliTube 2.0 introduces SpeedTrainer, which allows you to speed up or slow down your imported songs (up to 50 of them from your iPod library or your computer over Wi-Fi) without affecting the pitch. Now there are no more excuses. We expect to hear that Satriani album performed perfectly by next week!

Other new features include five new stomp boxes (in-app purchase required), a four-track recorder with a master FX section (three additional effects requiring in-app purchase), an option to export your recordings as high-quality audio (or in MP3 format via email) and improved sound quality with DSP code derived from the desktop versions of T-RackS 3 and AmpliTube 3.

Apparently, an update to the iPad version will be coming in the next three to four weeks, too. If you've updated, let us know how it's working out in the comments below.

I really wish someone would do a hardware+app review/compare of the three (major) contenders in this iPhone-as-your-fx-rig game.... Would make choosing where to spend my money a lot easier! Jist sayin, TUAW! ;)

In fact Future Music magazine just printed a 4 product comparison between the main guitar packages for iPhone in their november issue... AmpliTube was the overall winner

The four track is a big win for me, now I might even buy the cheap or full version of AmpliTube.

I'm really enjoying the iRig so far—will put it to the test when I travel next week. The only thing I dislike about the iRig—though this is true for really any guitar I/O for the iPhone—is all the mess of cables that comes with it.

Does it record in stereo, like stereo line input or just mono?
