Where is the song section on Mac?

Postby Jimc91 » Mon Nov 04, 2019 1:12 pm

OK, Im a NEWB...

Just purchased the irig 2 HD and plan to use it with my MacBook Pro, iPad mini, and my iPhone 7 plus. My question is about the Mac. I launch Amplitube 4 on the Mac and want to add a song as backup to practice lead guitar licks along with. When I go to add audio and go to my music (iTunes) I get the ever spinning wheel... I opened iTunes but the list never populates the table. What am I doing wrong? The manual says go to the "Song Section" but I don't see anything with that label. All I find is import audio. There must be something I am missing, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance. Jimc91

The AmpliTube 4 Mac/PC allows drag and drop for your files. Add them to the DAW section of AmpliTube. Once added, the bottom of the DAW page will have the Speed and Pitch controls you are looking for.

Note: The DAW Section can be entered/exited with the symbol in the lower left hand corner of AmpliTube 4 stand alone.

OK thanks Ryan... I think I am beginning to figure it out, Apple will not let me use any of the music I have downloaded from "Apple Music". I can only use the tracks I have purchased in the iTunes Store. I guess I could also rip a CD to WAV files and save them to a different directory on my Mac and use those... Thanks Ryan. Jim.

Right, you are not able to import files with DRM such as those from Apple Music or similar subscription services (even if they allow you to download songs, they still have DRM since you're only licensed to listen to them while subscribed to the service).
