adamrichards Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hello all, I am new here, be kind :) I read a little about the USB functionality of the Amplifi and it got me thinking of using the unit as a quick and simple solution to guitar recording. I am using an old MacBook (which has the latest OS and updates) and am looking to use the Amplifi as an interface directly into GarageBand via USB so I can get some decent base tones. Is this a function that is possible with the Amplifi or is it only compatible with Windows devices? I am also considering trying to use it as an interface for GarageBand on my iPhone as soon as I get the relevant cables. Is this a possibility or am I just hoping here? Any help, advice and pointers would be appreciated. I own the FX100 if that helps, I believe the functionality is the same throughout the range though so it shouldn't make a difference.

phil_m Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 You can use the FX100 as an interface with your Mac as well. Actually, for Macs it's a class-compliant interface, so you don't even have to install a driver to get it to work. It will work with the standard Mac driver, so all you have to do is plug it in. It should show up as an input and output device in Garageband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamrichards Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Does it work with the iPhone version of GarageBand too, if I have the camera connection kit to convert the lighting 8 pin to USB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I think Line 6 officially only says the camera kit will work with an iPad, but I have heard of people having success with the iPhone as well. If you have it already, you might as well give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamrichards Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 I have heard that it just won't work with the iPhone. I will try it of course, because what have I got to lose. If not, I plan to get a sonic port cheap and route the Amplifi through the mobile pod app, which does work with Gatage band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
