Wow my head is spinning after this video. I’m surprised you didn’t include a guitar effects pedal because they are so hot right now. It seems like a perfect application for this approach. I’m shopping for another interface now lol.
Brilliant! I love the fact that, not only are you a smart enough sausage to explain this process, but also you chose a really practical example. iOS FX can be beautiful but they can also be heavy on resources. But as they are so cheap, you could put them on a cheaper old iPad and save resources on you main cheap old iPad. This could work for me if I had a capable interface. I have my desktop back up and running and I’m feeling a need for connectivity. None of my devices are recent but if they all went into one audio interface and could be used sort of, to send real audio to each other…..
Jacob Haq, this is genius! Thank you for the tutorial! The amount of quality, resonably priced apps on the iPad plus the power of Apple's chips, make this platform hard to ignore. I'm having a great time with the SWAM Trumpet app for iPad at the moment, which is just awesome, along with the Korg Nanokey Studio as the keyboard/controller.
What a clever solution! I've just recently began with iPad audio creation, like AUM, Drambo, NanoStudio, numerous synths, etc. and this opens up a lot of possibilities. Thanks for sharing!
THANK YOU x 6000 for the folks who saw this and ran off to try it out so fast they forgot to say thank you…. . You got some tremendously helpful videos but this one is real nice because I am still new to AUM and you explained exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much! I’m thinking to use the SP404mk2 and probably the iconnectivity audio4+ which is sorta overkill.. could probably use a smaller more portable one like what you show.
Think of your second iPad and audio interface combo as one single effect pedal and it gets a lot simpler to conceptualize. On your main iPad, set the channel you want to add effects on to output to your second outputs on the main audio interface. Connect those outputs to the inputs of your “effect pedal” then connect the outputs of your “effect pedal” to the input of your main audio interface. Now we can think of this input as an external synth we want to bring into our mix. Within the software in the main iPad now, take the input channels you just connected from your effects pedal, and make sure they are routed to your main mix. Then make sure your main mix out is set to the FIRST output of your audio interface - not the one we used for the effect pedal. Now hook those first outputs to your speakers. That way you aren’t sending your whole mix to your effect pedal, then back to your main, then back to your effect pedal and creating a feedback loop. Now to configure the “effect pedal” iPad, just route the inputs in your “effect pedal” audio interface through whatever effects you want in your effect pedal iPad, and then route the output of that channel to the output of your “effect pedal” interface. You should be in business then :)
Nice one, as usual clear and friendly :) I do have some extra information which might be helpful to i-users: - you *can* use a single in/out pair if you use mono signals - use left OR right out to the external fx unit, returning the signal to stereo (or mono) in and the other mono out to your speaker/mixer. AUM is good for selecting single L/R inputs & outputs in the I/O options for each track. A bit limited but still possible whilst you're waiting for a better audio interface, especially with AUM able to record stereo internally. If you do only use mono return, there is a spare mono in (if it's a stereo input) so you could use two external effects simultaneously in parallel if you used a splitter on the mono fx send/out! - there is a Behringer UCA-222 or UCA-202 which I think is a copy of your small audio interface. It has a minijack headphone out with volume (as well as S/PDIF optical digital out) and is currently under £20 GBP. One ancient techie review (nwavguy) took it apart and analysed the components and was pleasantly surprised at the quality. Hope this is useful, peace :)
I think I am saying what you pretty much said but regardless, I would be ok going IN with a mono sound source, sure, many are even better that way, but the out coming off the FX , ESPECIALLY some of the awesome spacial reverbs and delays should probably be stereo. But I am only an expert at being an idiot! 🤦🏼
Thanks Jakob. This is one of the most important audio interface videos I've seen in a long time. The easiest and cheapest way to try something like this is a cheap USB audio interface (around 10 EUR), but this is only MONO. I can recommend the Behringer UMC 404HD at this point if you need more Audio IN Lines and Stereo IN. But that's always a matter of taste.
Good system, I have a few iOS devices I’ve thought about Int do this with, but, would be nice if there was a digital audio interface that could receive and send without converting to analog twice. Thanks for the demo.
sad to hear my GO:Mixer won't work for something like this; I really wanted to figure out how to route from microfreak to my mixer and use ipad as fx processor; but at least now I have a direction to go, thank you!
I do this for guitar stuff and my hardware stuff 😜🙏🏼 literally the reason a 150 dollar refurbished iPhone 6S Max sounded like a dream to me a year ago - cheap device - cheap modular guitar pedal 😜🤣
@@JakobHaq last iPhone with headphone jack mah man! That alone is worth it nowadays XD, hence why I didn’t get an 8 instead, which goes for like 25-ish more bucks
Great video, thanks! I was wondering: if you have multiple iPads, is there a way to connect them directly via USB and stay in the digital domain, until the audio gets converted at the end by a single interface?
Will this routing work for an External Reverb Guitar Pedal as well? Can AUM recognize the pedal as a Hardware Input. Should I create an Audio Channel for the routing? Generally how do to connect External Pedal Guitar effects into your DAW on Ipad? Cheers Jakob
Yes it works for any external effect unit, however the cables needed might differ depending on the input and output connectors of the sound interface used and the pedal/effect unit. No, AUM cannot recognise the effect since it’s not connected through USB like one would connect a sound interface. For that to be a thing, the effect pedal would have to have a built in sound interface with USB connection. Yes you would have to set up a send fx channel and a return channel inside AUM. A Send on the instrument channel for sending audio out through the sound interface into the pedal/effect unit. And then a channel for receiving the audio back from the output of the pedal/effect unit that goes back into the sound interface. The most straight forward way of connecting a guitar pedal to an iPad is to use a sound interface with 6.3 tele jacks. Guitar goes into pedal, pedal into sound interface, setup a channel inside AUM where you select the sound interface in the input slot. There are also sound interfaces that you can connect your guitar to directly. And then you can use guitar pedal apps to get a multitude of various software driven dist, chorus, reverb, delay, you and it-pedals.
Any tech geegs that could maybe gimme some tips of how to connect ipad to rc505mk2? Wanna ise turnado app to effect rc505. I am much of a noob.(rc505 mk2 is also an audio interface)

Me: I want to use my iPad as an effects unit. Let's see if Jakob showed us how on RUclips ...
He did.
Legendary.

I use my SP-555 as an external fx processor for my iPad. Love it!
Great video! You forgot to mention the Behringer Uphoria line up which are great affordable interfaces with several outputs.
Jacob Haq, this is genius! Thank you for the tutorial! The amount of quality, resonably priced apps on the iPad plus the power of Apple's chips, make this platform hard to ignore.

Wow I really appreciate these produced/edited videos. Makes a big difference!

Very helpful - 4:30 😂 I feel you!

I’m glad everyone else got this- it was way over my head, but I suspect I’m just dumb that way. Perhaps if I watch it a dozen times…

That UA-202 interface looks a lot like the Behringer UCA202, which I love and learned about from this channel! It also has a headphone jack.
One thing I do is split my stereo signal and use one side for effects send and the other for dry.
Nice one, as usual clear and friendly :) I do have some extra information which might be helpful to i-users:

Great vid dude. Nice to see the old Kaoss Pad in action there… Reminds me, I should get mine out of the box, it’s been a while ✌️
Great stuff thanks!

I'm using focusrite for this, it's fine. I've tried and returned iConnectivity its amp noise ratio was awful
Hey, this is great. Can I make a set up llike the first with a zoom U24 audio interface?
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 thanx man …… this spares a lot of time for me…….
heey great videos, can you do more video with the kp3 please
I like the setup, now make it even more complicated!
Haha! I will at some point. 😅👍
Awesome Dude❗😏👊🏽
I’m using the Steinberg 816C too! My main issue is that when using your iPad the ADAT function is disabled 😳. So no adding additional i/o!!
Ouch, really? I haven’t had any possibility of testing that myself. I don’t have an extra Adat unit here.
I do this for guitar stuff and my hardware stuff 😜🙏🏼 literally the reason a 150 dollar refurbished iPhone 6S Max sounded like a dream to me a year ago - cheap device - cheap modular guitar pedal 😜🤣
I love the 6s so much that we now have three of them here. They go for a very affordable price too and they’re still very useful.

Not that I know of. I’ll look into it though.
Welcome to latency 😆 although, reverb is quite forgiving
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 thanx this has spared a lot of time…….
My pleasure!
I have used the iPad as an external FX unit 😅 But never tried to run the iPad though external FX 😶
KP3 (+ external sequencer) is veeeery powerful FX processor!
