We did it! We virtually broke the 1000!!!!!
This calls for a glass of red wine. I've a bottle of Primitivo Di-Manduria open from last night, must go and take a glass!
Cheers!
Anyway I'm uploading a clip with my Geddy and the Redhead (Apogee Jam). Played some with fingers (sorry but my fingers playing are..... hm, quite bad..)
And here it is: https://soundcloud.com/duke21/punchy-redhead
Thanx guys for all ur info on here I've been using Jamup as my practice rig for a while and as a SWR fan love the redhead. I will be getting Audiobus and MT DAW to start doing some recording.
Finding I like the Art Dual Pre for connecting to iPad with JamUp. Lots of flexibility with the Art. Can use it with iTunes alone, or with JamUp, etc. Downside is that it needs power. Apogee Jam is great too, but I put mine up for sale in the TB classifieds.

Love my dual pre interface the power it needs IS the only drawback cause the iPad can't push it. But I had, like most people do, a 9volt wall wart from a previous, now unused electric device (baby monitor) and I looked at it like, one plug in for my entire setup (entire pedal board, & amp would take multiple plugs and a power strip) so one for my interface......that's not so bad.

there is the output level bar on the upper right, there are many ways to turn down the input, (turn your vol know on your bass, input of Apogee JAM, EQ pedal, preamp vol knob, etc)
But yes, we can think about add the input level control...

Calvin, can you add separate input and output adjustment to Jamup? Kinda like (and I hate to say it) the other guy has in the Tools tab?
iPod Touch 4th Gen (iOS 6.0.1)
iRig
Peavey AmpKit Link
Amplitube (full version)
JamUp (with Bass expansion pack)
Male-male mini-headphone cable to connect headphone out to physical amp's Aux In
Custom molded in-ear monitors
No matter what combo of software and hardware I use, if I plug my in-ears into the iRig/AmpKit Link, I can hear everything just fine. I can play backing tracks and play along with them and I am able to get the audio levels dialed in so I can hear the music and the bass at the volumes I want.
But, no matter what combo of software and hardware I use, if I connect the headphone out (of the iRig or AmpKit Link) to the Aux In on my amp, I cannot get the bass to be very loud at all. I can play backing tracks on the iPod (either in Music or using JamUp's Jam tab) and they come out loud and clear through my amp. But, I cannot get the bass guitar that I'm playing to come out much above the volume of a soft conversation.
The example I just tried was:
Bass -> AmpKit Link -> JamUp -> SVT Blueline model (nothing else in the chain) -> headphone jack -> physical amp Aux In
In JamUp, I turn the Volume all the way up and turn the iPod Volume all the way up and with my physical amp volume set to 10:00, I can barely hear the bass guitar coming out of it. But, if I put JamUp into Background mode, then switch to the Music player and start a track, it comes out loud.
In a related note (so to speak), I'm very unclear on what the difference is between the slider at the top right (in JamUp, Amp/Fx tab) that slides right/left and the Volume knob on whatever amp I'm using. I expected that the slider at the top would be the input gain and the Volume be the amp's Volume (understanding that the SVT Volume really is an input gain also). The point being, I expected those two things to be separate and unrelated. However, to try and get usable volume from my physical amp, I've tried sliding the slider at the top as far to the right as I can, to where the bass input starts making it clip and sounding nasty. Then, I turned up the Volume itself all the way.
And, like I said, when I do this using my in-ears, I can hear everything okay. But, on my physical amp, the backing track is loud and the bass is still too soft. And this happens with JamUp and the AmpKit Link and it's basically the same with the iRig and using Amplitube.
Hang in there, Stu. I'm wracking the ol' brain cells here: I had a brief similar problem when I first started using AK and the AK Link, along with Aux In on my amp. But for the life of me, I don't remember what fixed it. There was something I did, along with using a 1/8"to 1/4" adapater so I could plug into my amps Passive In. Make sure you play with all possible in/ out settings and combinations, gain at each source: iDevice, app settings, amp-sim setttings, bass, 'real' amp.
Have you tried shutting everything down except for what you need in JamUp or AT and getting the level you need for your bass, out of your physical amp? (Can you even get there?)
Are you using the iPod's "regular" (stock) Music Player as the music player? If so, have you tried using JamUp's "Jam" option? Try it, if not.

Honestly, I think the problem can be tracked to the Irig adapter itself. The Irig headphone adapter interface doesn't give you enough input volume to work in anything other than a live situation.
I tried every possible combination, and one thing for certain, it's NOT Jamup that's the problem. It's also NOT Audiobus.
I recorded tracks from Loopy and Sunrizer XS, and they came through fine. So it's not them.
All these tracks were recorded into MTDAW, so that's not the problem either!!
But when I record my tracks from Irig, their input levels are so low that they don't even show up on the recording!! Grrrr.. So I boost everything, and I end up with a distorted mess. In MTDAW, I change the source from Jamup to Mic Input, and it does nothing.
So, based on elimination, the problem has to be Irig. A look on the MTDAW site shows that iPhone 3GS and EARLIER are supported, but Audiobus doesn't work on those devices anyway!!
Sorry to bother you Calvin, it really isn't a problem with Jamup. Though if you were to add input and out gain adjustments, I wouldn't complain, either.

I just found out why my wife said no to buying the Jam.
That's very cool, Rip! Did you tell her how much you really need some JamUp expansion packs, or maybe a new amp, etc...!
I'm sure my Jam will find a good home.
My amp is fine. I've got a 200 watt combo with a 15". I've also got a Carvin RX1200L/2153 PA system with a powered sub.
She has watched me buy so much of this gear (mostly in AT) and then get frustrated. Then she had to listen as I freaked out about the Jamup "bug fix". I of course then bought the Bass Expansion Pack.
After a gift of Audiobus, I then added Loopy and Sunrizer XS, followed by Multitrack DAW.
Then she had to watch as I freaked out once again at the limitations of the irig, which I've got a good sound from despite the necessary use of noise filters.
I guess I'm gonna have to re-edit all of my presets to get rid of the noise gates and boost the gains.
I was trying to record something using Audiobus, Jamup and MTDaw and I noticed that whenever Jamup is run through MTDAW it sounds like poop. Everything thins out and distorts.
Have you guys noticed this when you are working on your stuff? It's like MTDaw is sucking the life out of my sound.

She already did!! It'll be here in a few days.
Have I mentioned how cool my wife is?
That's awesome yes she's is very cool

Guy isn't having any problems like this ....what is the difference ?

Not sure. I have presets in Jamup that sound great through headphone or when recorded using Jamup's sampler. But if I use Audiobus so I can record jamup into MTDaw.. everything thins out and becomes distorted. Shut down Audiobus and MTDAW and Jamup sounds good again. I tried a reboot and that didn't help at all.
I'm not digging the whole Audiobus thing at the moment. Maybe it's the iRig or the iPad2 but Jamup sounds like poop as soon as I fire it up with audiobus.
Jamup by itself is awesome but I think I'll use my Mac to record the output. Gonna have to drag my mixer out of storage.
