AmpliTube Custom Shop is ideal for anyone looking to explore guitar tones or just lay down a few ideas. To top it off you can customise the mic model and placement, hinting at the pool of options available when you got the full mile. And the samples are impressively accurate! Not the least because IK Multimedia locked down official guitar amp models from industry giants such as Fender, Mesa Boogie, Orange, Ampeg and many more. Thus it’s not only the perfect tool for any guitarist looking to record straight into their laptop but it’s essentially a ‘try before you buy’ for anyone interested in lashing out on the real deal. While it’s essentially a stripped-down version, this free fully functioning guitar rig application includes 24 models that consist of a chromatic tuner, nine stompboxes, four amps, five cabs, three mics and two rack effects.
If you already have a guitar lying around, then AmpliTube Custom Shop is the perfect way for you to add expression and flair to your music without the hefty price tag. Plus, it’s the ultimate free music making software for beginners. Though when it’s all said and done, Garage Band is still an immensely powerful tool and one of the most proficient digital audio workstations going around.
The only downsides include a limit of 255 tracks per song, as well as no MIDI export or the ability to control external hardware via MIDI.
