Best Mackie FreePlay Home Alternatives

Based on 2 reviews

The interface is hassle-free (In my case, IOS). It connects right out of the box with my iPad Pro, a USB-C Macbook Pro, and an older Mac Pro with USB 3.0. It comes with basic versions of Amplitube and Tonex, without extra plugins. Works well with Garage Band and the rest of apps like a native device. The sound is decent when you hook it into your guitar/bass amp, considering is a 24bit/48Khz interface, but if you need higher quality, go for the HDX (pricier). In the end, it is a good value for the money. It gives you the convenience of jamming with your IPad on the go using just a tiny device. Very happy with it.

Bought as part of the positive grid spark 40 amp bundle. Good build quality, feels sturdy. Each switch button feels solid and responsive. Plenty of preset options on the spark app so you can switch between controlling individual effects to changing presets altogether or even controlling media playback options. Bluetooth so no fiddly wires to deal with, had no connection issues so far. Can't really speak for battery life yet but have used it half a dozen times and still going. Would recommend especially if buying as part of a spark bundle.

I am using this to mount an iPad to my hi-hat stand, which it does, perfectly. The support arm and stand clamp are sturdy and lock the ipad holder securely in place. No worries about swiping the screen and the holder moving - once tightened in place, it isn't going anywhere. The holder itself grasps the iPad very securely, but it's still very easy to mount and remove the iPad, though it is a two hands operation. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and would readily buy another one if needed.

2 minutes after opening the box I was able to record demo tracks with my old iPhone 8, configuring the footswitches is also piece of cake, so I was extremely happy for about 15 minutes, when i realized that it’s randomly freezing and then needs to be rebooted to work again… Not a big thing, only bit annoying, takes 10 seconds anyways and for the price I can’t complain. Gain control for the 2nd input would be also nice, higher output humbuckers can easily overdive that channel. Anyways, even for a midi footswitch it’s a great deal and to be able to record demos wherever I want to makes me forgive the quality mistakes. Maybe it just needs a firmware update and that’s it, but since I moved to a bigger place where i can use more than my phone for recording i...
