Need help with irig/AmpliTube volume with iPad and playalongs

[roberts67]

Hello!

I decided I can practice more at home if I practice with headphones on. I currently have an Irig Pro with AmpliTube that I use with my iPad. I like to do the Hal Leonard playalongs online in Safari. The issue I am having is matching the volume of my bass with the volume of the play along. To get my bass volume to match the play along volume I have to turn it up high enough that it distorts. Is my only option to get a mixer and use my iPhone and iPad into it? Any direction greatly appreciated and I apologize if this has been discussed to death. I could not find a thread on this.

I think I figured it out after a lot of digging around. I need to go through my Mesa D800 I believe. The weird thing is last time I tried this I think I had to unplug the speaker out on the amp.

Maybe I'm missing something, but couldn't you just turn the volume of the backing track down?

That also turns your bass volume down. I am getting a small mixer so I can unjust the volume of both and mix together with headphones. My Mesa sounds so much better than the iRig and AmpliTube. I am giving up on that for now.
