iReal b + Amplitube

[dflat]

....but once I REALLY paid attention to the instructions, it worked perfectly!

Yes it can be confusing, but important as that is the way it had to activate between 2 apps and the iOS.
Was it the English instructions you were reading off?
Thanks for your comments. We might re-visit the instructions.

Me again! I tried to experiment with iReal b and amplitube more today. But latency really turns out to be a problem, at least with my iPod touch 3G. With Amplitube running in the background, the guitar sound is just too late und messes up rhythm and timing. It does not really matter if I choose lateny "low" or "ultra low" in Amplitube, but the latter causes some clicking sounds in addition. Any ideas or recommendations - or is my iPod just too weak for the task?

With multitasking if you are having problems, completely close down any other applications not being used (just have iReal b and Amplitube.) If there are still problems, turning off completely and restarting, then opening just the two apps might help also.
Let us know if either of these helps.

I'm running iOS 3.1.3 on a 3Gs with "backgrounder" patch - doesn't seem to work, the guitar goes away when I start amplitube first and ampitube refuses to start when I open irealB first.. will this only work with iOS4?

I have had problems since the last update of either Amplitube or IRealb. I can not remember exactly. However, I used to be able to run Amplitube in the background and iRealb in the foreground. Sometimes it would fail, but most of the time it would work.

Now I get a pop-up message in Amplitube saying another app has changed the latency setting. Sure enough, on the rare occaision that I now get both running, Amplitube has too much latency making it unusable. I have tried shutting down my iPod etc, but it makes no difference.

So the question is whether any recent changes have been made to iRealb that would affect sound latency in multitasking?

We have had other users finding this when they open Amplitube first. Check the instructions carefully, open iReal b first...

I will try again and hopefully I am screwing up, but I never saw the latency message in the past.

Sorry for the late reply. We have not tested 'backgrounder' nor coded specifically for its use. iOS4 , yes.
