My friend and I have officially started our podcast thanks to this video right here. I am so excited to have put in the work and researched as hard as I did to find this episode. This was so helpful!!!
BROOO I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS INFORMATION FOR DAYS! LOOOOOVED YOUR VIDEOS. FINALLY, SO WELL EXPLAINED AND SHOWED . THANK YOU! (the caps is 'cause of the excitement)
@@KevinRossRN Hi I am using dynamic mics too but I am still behind on how you process your voice to achieve the voice I am hearing now. The majority of videos I have watched on this are fuzzy on this section. If you can even manage to send me in a certain direction I will be thankful. I have tons of plugins. Waves Plugins almost all of them. Izotope Plugins. Like RX, Neutron, Izotope 9. But still, I fail to arrive at your vocal levels and quality. Help.
Additional detail on this is I do have an audio interface - what's missing is the flow of editing - and if you do create a video on audio editing - share the sound as it sounds without the edits - I love to hear the signal to noise ratio and then the processing.
So in this video: ruclips.net/video/YXWdOXdkMLI/видео.html I do share a little about my FCPX audio workflow as far as just showing you what the values are and much of it is tuning to the room because I'd certainly tweak it in another environment, but as I said in the video it's also very much about the room and my voice, which I've been working on, my whole life 😄 I am reviewing a brand new broadcast mic and I will share with the community the edited version vs. the EQ'd version. The mic is actually in my latest video as well as a video on a "secret" channel I've started: ruclips.net/video/GGj7K2WBPbM/видео.html I'm still figuring out the mic, but so far I"m digging it. The only plugin I ever used when I was podcasting was Auphonic Leveler, which helped bring the audio to -16LUFS, but that's about it.
Alright you beautiful humans. This is another long one, but timestamps are available so you can find what you’re looking for. This setup will work with an iPad, iPhone, and yes, even a computer. I’ll be following up with another video featuring this setup on a computer while also showing you an updated version of how to work with remote hosts and guests. You can find me here or on Twitter.
Hello, Great video! I am wondering though if I bought all these items that are recommended (which I did) and tried to plug into our students iPad Pros (they are about 5 years old but running iOS 14) why I can't seem to get the M2 to power up, using the camera adapter and plugged into a wall outlet. I can power it up with my Macbook Air. Thanks this video was super helpful for me!!
@@KevinRossRN Yes however it just blinks like its going to power on. I am going to try a new charge cord for wall and see if that helps. I also have an iPhone 11 just in case that rules anything out.
Thanks for the informative instructional video! Very helpful for me!!! Additional detailed info in the description was also really helpful for me. Thanks!!
Just got a ipad a few months ago. Connected a arturia minifuse 2 to it and it works well. I mainly use it to practice guitar with backing tracks. Planning to buy a few mics to start a mobile podcast. I didn't want to go out and buy a rodecaster or anything like that when I got the ipad.
Had to leave a comment; THANK YOU for this video. You’ve saved me from hours of pulling out my hair. I did exactly as you shown and I finally got my two mic set up to work on my iPad Pro after I tried everything. I almost gave up until I came across this video. 🎉
@@KevinRossRN Follow up question: I have the M-Audio Duo (similar to the audio interface you have here). Is there any way to add a THIRD mic to this iPad set up? Or do I need to upgrade to an audio interface with three XLR inputs? Thanks!!
I’m not sure if that interface would work this way but have you looked into a XLR cable splitter? Two mics into one channel, however in post you’re likely going to have to split those out because they record right and left if I’m not mistaken. But, will also still be on the same track.
@@KevinRossRN thank you! I'm looking to start podcasting, unsure about what equipment to buy. Research is swaying me toward the scarlet 2i2 and AKG p120 mics to begin with. Do you have any reservations about either of these or suggestions for similar/better quality at that price range? I would appreciate any info you would offer, even if it's just direction to one or two of your videos I may have overlooked. Thank you again! Keep up the good work.
For a “budget” level mic setup, I think it’s great. And the 2i2 is also great. These two interfaces are both very good in my option. I only went the MOTU route because I wanted to go against the grain a bit and ended up finding it to be what was looking for. Have you looked into handheld recorders at all?
@@KevinRossRN I have not. Would a handheld recorder carry comparable audio quality at a similar price? I have so much to learn hahaha. It's so difficult to make a decision to start off
Yes, and with the handheld you can record directly into that device, the tracks will be split into individual ones (if you had multiple hosts), and then it gets recorded onto a SD card that you can transfer those files to your computer to edit later. A handheld recorder can also act as an audio interface as well. You can connect it directly to a computer just like the audio interface in this video. Didn’t mean to confuse you. There are a lot of options. I will say though that a handheld recorder or audio interface will give you more options to grow. But certainly don’t blow out your budget.
Great video! This setup has inspired me and I just ordered the Motu M2 to replace my larger mixer / interface. Got some mic stands and a carrying case and I now have a fully portable setup with the new 12.9inch iPad Pro coming in a couple weeks! Super pumped to try this out for on the go podcasting. Hopefully the Motu M2 can provide enough gain for my SM57 mics!
That’s great! And yes, that MOTU should be just fine on those mics. I find that the MOTU seems to have a bit more “push” when compared to the Scarlett. I’ll definitely be right there with you reviewing this with the new iPad Pro. Congrats on both BTW.
@@KevinRossRN Awesome, good to hear. I have also heard that other places so glad to have it confirmed. Hope you enjoy the new iPad as well! Look forward to hearing your review!
Great video my friend. This is what teaching done right looks like. The concept of having someone test this in a proper way and explaining in great detail is awesome! This video i am sure will help a bunch of people.
Thanks Kim! As I was telling someone else yesterday, I start to see an increase in interest with podcasting around this time of year. So, I like to freshen up a few of my previous videos to address a few changes in the tech, but it seems to not really change that much 😉 Either way, podcasting continues to grow year over year 🤷♂️
Very cool stuff. I had no idea that Garage Band could be so useful. Always wondered how a podcast was made - and now I wonder how you include call in guests, and how you upload the whole project to wherever it is that people can listen.
Thank you for this I was wondering why my lav mic was sounding so bad in garage band but I didnt realize there was the narrator default you could use 🤙🏿
@@KevinRossRN Thank YOU for your time sir! I’ve asked another question and I would be delighted to get an answer for that too. Thank you for your time once again. :)
It's amazing how confusing this is. Can someone please help me to understand what kind of microphones he recommends, and what kind of audio interface is needed...in order to use multiple microphones....4-5.... Thank s so much
Thank you for your video. I am following your steps - step by step. I purchased the Motu M2. I got to 14:42 and went to tap the red button for microphone 2 and I get a pop up that states " Input Channel in Use. The input channel chosen is already in use by another track. To record on this track, choose an unused channel." Appreciate your help as I am stuck. Thank you
So a couple of questions to ask. You have multitrack recording toggled on? Just wanted to double check. When you add your additional microphone in GarageBand, you select input 2? And then I also wanted to ask about the switches on your audio interface, are they switched to mono, or are those switched off?
Thanks! I’ll actually have to go back in my archives to find the song. I’ll try to circle back on that, but I typically use epidemic sound for all of my tracks.
@@KevinRossRN I am working with a Zoom PodTrak P4. The issue I am having is that even when I set the Input Chanel Source the recording is being saved under both the inputs. Another thing I was trying to figure out is why only two inputs are coming up on the Ipad when the P4 has 4 inputs. Do you have any advice as to what I may be doing wrong? Maybe the Ipad only handles two inputs at a time? Thanks in advance for the help!
So I have tested this with the Zoom H6 and I can get it to recognize all those tracks separately. So do you have a computer you can connect it to so that you can test that the interface is acting like an actual interface? I don’t have the P4, but it’s a great piece of hardware. Wish they had it when I was first starting out. So when you choose multitrack in GB, you get two tracks, correct? But then each track is being duplicated (same recording) in those tracks?
@@KevinRossRN I have not yet tried to hook up to the PC I guess that would be a good place to start. As far as the multi track recording, the audio is indeed picked up by all 4 mics but then is also duplicated in all 4 tracks, GB is not recognizing the mics as separate. The user guide that comes included with the Zoom isn’t very detailed when it comes to pairing with a tablet.
Yeah the Zoom likely wouldn’t mention a tablet. It would mostly be about how it acts as an interface vs being a handheld recorder. Also, there’s another free app, Ferrite, on the App Store. I’m curious to see if this may net you the same result. Just trying to figure out if it’s a “bug” with the P4 or the software.
Indeed. I usually notice an increase in interest around podcasting every new year (at least every new year that I've been doing this), so I just wanted to provide some extra resources for folks looking to pursue this endeavor. Appreciate you popping over here and always love chatting it up. Happy New Year to you as well friend. Sending my best.
Wow, what a great and useful video! I’m preparing to do exactly this with my new iPad Pro (2021). Any recommendations for an audio interface that has three mic inputs?
Thanks! As far as three, you may find yourself looking at a four channel input. They’re usually in pairs like this (typically that is). MOTU has some additional options and Scarlett also has the 18i8 that will have four XLR inputs. The handheld recorder that I also use is the Zoom H6. Should be linked below, but that can act as an audio interface or you can record directly into it. There’s also this device: amzn.to/3xZZvvf And again you can record directly into it if you want and then take those split tracks from the device and bring it into the editor. Congrats on the iPad Pro. Looking forward to reviewing this iPad when it comes in.
Once you select record on your audio and the video, clap 3-2-1. And then when you bring your audio and video together you will look at the spikes in the audio clips from the clapping and just drag those clips to match, then cut that part out and boom, you should be synced.
I wasn’t sure if the iPad would work for this but needed the portability of a MacBook but couldn’t afford one. I’ll have to take one for a spin and see if it works.
Hey Kevin, love the video! Was just wondering since I have two atr2100x mics if they will work with this set up since it seems that the only way they are able to be powered on is with both usb-c and xlr plugged in.
Great video! I subscribed after watching. Quick question - could I just run a few USB mics to the iPad through an adapter rather than using the interface? What's the benefit of the interface?
The interface splits out the tracks. Plugging in multiple mics at one may or may not work. Just depends on the mic. The built in audio of the iPad may default to one or the other. But at the very least if both mics fire up, they’ll be on the same track.
I would recommend just recording separately with the camera. Then, you’d take the audio tracks from the iPad and the video from the camera and drop all of those into a video editor. You’d remove the audio from the camera because the built in mic isn’t going to sound good at all, but it’s great to use it as a reference for the better quality you’re getting from the interface and iPad. Hopefully that makes sense.
I don’t think it’s possible but you can record one person on 1 iPad or phone, and other person on the other iPad or phone then merge the audio together after.
Thanks for popping in on this one. Must have missed this comment. And agree that another iPad or even and iPhone to record the audio tracks and then bring them together in post. There are workarounds, but would require additional equipment.
My hubby and I are getting ready to set up our podcasts thanks to you. One question… I ordered the blue yeti mic ( 2 of them) my hubby is my co host, I was wondering is this mic good for the interface ?? I ordered based of of your other tutorial, not realizing it was for a single host based platform. Please advise if the blue yeti will work with interface in this video
Congrats on the podcast. So the Blue Yeti, if it’s the exact one I recommended from another video would actually not be compatible with an interface without a workaround. These interfaces are XLR compatible, so the mics in this video have USB and XLR options whereas the Yeti is just USB and plugs directly into the computer. To make this work you’d need a series of workarounds by getting a USB to male XLR adapter, and then there would be a mini USB adapter for the mic since the Yeti doesn’t have a full Sized USB port going into the mic. And honestly, the more connections, the more points of failure.
Thank you so much, So appreciate your help. I was able to cancel my order just in time. I will purchase the mic listed in this video. Thanks again for what you do.👍🏾
Sure thing. And yes, any XLR mic will work, but I do like the ATR 2100 because of its versatility. The Samson Q2U is also a great choice. Anyway, glad you were able to cancel your order in time. Sending my best.
Just like the video shows, yep! The audio interface is the easiest way to make this happen. It’ll save you so much time and headache trying to figure out workarounds...and time is money.
Actually, just re-read your comment. So if you’re asking if you can only have multiple mics...meaning can you have a single mic setup? Yes, you can use a single mic.
This was an awesome video! This gave me a lot of direction on how to make our dream come true! So, in recording, it will only let me record under 2 minutes. I am trying to trouble shoot, but I cannot figure it out! Any tips?
@@KevinRossRN Yes, I did that. For some reason, when I plug in the microphone, it won't let me record more than a minute and 30 seconds. I bought one of those usb to IPAD adapters off Amazon to attach our microphones to and for some reason, even when I do all of those things, such as automatic, changing how many bars I have, going deep into the iPad settings to turn on the automatic setting, it still stops my recording after about 1:30.
Where can I find the video that you showed for example recording straight onto a phone as well as the video you go over having two people not in the same space?
The smartphone one is here: ruclips.net/video/i8vXujZrY9Q/видео.htmlsi=qy22a-X4-5BNUtTK And the remote hosts and guests one is here: ruclips.net/video/02rJZ-iwxkI/видео.htmlsi=htmEMPJqEkhPjK9x 👆This one is an older video and there are other options, but I still use this set up with many of my remote recordings.
Hey Kevin! LOVED the video. As someone who is looking to start a podcast, this is right up my alley as already have a lot of this equipment. My questions are this: How much storage does say an hour or two hour podcast take up on the iPad? I have a 7th Gen iPad, should i get the Pro and do i REALLY need to get a Pro for this or will a regular iPad work just fine? Thanks in advance!!!
Hey, happy to help. So as far as the space is concerned, you should be fine. .wav files for a 1 hour podcast with two tracks will usually range from as low as 1 and up to 6 GBs depending how much you’re adding as far as tracks or other audio. You can also compress that file down to less than 1GB, but that of course gets spun down to a much smaller .mp3 when you share it.
Yeah, just make sure you have that lightening adapter that you can also plug in. The iPad should power it with out the plug in option, but just in case. If I can run this thing on an iPhone, you should be just fine.
Hey Kevin great video man thanks But I have one question if you record podcast and also record a video as well of our self and we using camera so we just put this audio on to that video ??
I have a 12.9inch Ipad pro, and Ive got a recording and I’m trying to share it but when I tap on share it wont let me share it as a song that doesnt come up as a option? Any help?
I believe the iPad OS updates tend to move things around. Try this: Open up your GarageBand folder where the project is. You’ll see your GB projects in there all together. Look up in the top right corner under the battery status where it says Select. Select, then toggle on the radio button of the file you’re working with. Then, once toggled/selected with a check box... Go down to the bottom left and click share. Share Song should pop up.
Great video. You have really helped me a lot with this. I’m assuming if I have a Focusrite I can use my mic input one and run an XLR in the second input to a 1/4 inch-3.5-lightning dongle to multi track my mic output and the iPhone audio. I’m trying to achieve the ability to play RUclips clip audio and sound board app on my phone. Hope that makes sense
So to clarify, you want to have a mic for input one, and then the phone connected as input 2, but really it’s just to play RUclips clips as part of the podcast/audio project? If that’s the case, then yes.
Great explanation dude. It caught my attention that you are using Zoom H6 as well. Can it also do multi-track recording in an iPad/ iPhone? I’m a musician. Planning to hook 2 XLR dynamic mics, 1 guitar, 1 keyboard. I need at least 4 ports recording simultaneously. If you have other suggestions with this setup, it would be a great help to me. Thanks a lot man. All the best.
Thanks! And yeah, you can use that H6 as an interface just as you would on a computer. I should do a video on that, but I did test hooking up multiple inputs in GarageBand with the H6.
I love your content on podcasts. I’m trying to start a podcast and I’m using a maonocaster lite interface. I’m having trouble connecting the second mic. It came with one and my second is a usb mic which I need an usb to 3.5 jack, can you give any advice? Thanks Jose
I’d have to look into this further but I believe this particular interface is combining those two tracks into one. Again, I’d have to research this further to give you a more definitive answer.
Thanks for your help in helping me remember the 1990s switcher technology that I once used in the 1990s. But I am also curious about one particular American component used by hard drive cloners. In my country's government they do not want us civilians to use their scan-copy-transfer (SCT IC Chip) IC chip which can scan incoming computer input, make multiple copies of it, and transfer one of each of these multiple copies to 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 individual CPUs that will process the WHOLE information and then they use an another component that receives the processed information and compare all of the results and once all are cross-referenced and are the same they are then combined as one information output which is then displayed on one or more computer monitor display. Does your American hard drive cloners can do the same? And what is the key component in your hard drive cloners that can make multiple duplicate copies of the 1st primary hard drives and then transfers those multiple duplicate copies to several tens of dozens of hard drives? Can you and somebody or anybody help me please? Maybe, just maybe that key critical component of your American hard drive cloners can do the same function as my country's government's (SCT IC Chip) Scan - Copy - Transfer IC Chip.
Just saw a lower comment, I am indeed rocking he iPad Air Gen4? LOL. Will it not work with this IPAD? I do have the Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter in the link you commented to.
So you are rocking with the iPad Air Gen4? The Apple lightning adapter would only work with the iPad that has the lightening port, but just wanted to clarify your particular device.
@@KevinRossRN Thanks for the quick reply! I actually bought a USB 3.0 adapter so I can power on the M2 now. The mic is working an everything but how do I hear myself now? lol Do I need to change the output of for the audio?
Thanks! So to clarify, you have your mics connected via an audio interface and then connected to the iPad? If so, what is the equipment you have in your workflow?
Hello thank you for your video,it's great! i was searching informations about motu and the compatibility with an ipad pro usb-c . Do you know if it s possible to plug the motu to the ipad directly with a usb-c/usb-c cable ? Or do i need absolutely a powered hub ?
For the iPad Pro and Air, those will power it, however as you’ll find here in the comments that the iPad (lightning port) has typically required that adapter.

Super helpful video! Thanks for creating such an easy how-to tutorial!!
My pleasure. Great to have you here.
Wow… simply amazing video. You just saved me so much grief. I will try all now. Thank you so much. You are incredible.
Thank you so much friend. Sending my best.
This was great
I’m just glad I’m able help. Appreciate you 🤘
@@KevinRossRN it’s taking me 3 months to find you lol 😂
Ha! Well, glad you finally found me.
Great Stuff. This helped me a lot, thanks Kevin!
Glad to be of service. Sending my best for getting it all dialed in.
Awesome brother👍🏾 following and subscribed
Appreciate you. Glad to have you here.
Great video my friend. This is what teaching done right looks like. The concept of having someone test this in a proper way and explaining in great detail is awesome! This video i am sure will help a bunch of people.
Thanks Kim! As I was telling someone else yesterday, I start to see an increase in interest with podcasting around this time of year.
So, I like to freshen up a few of my previous videos to address a few changes in the tech, but it seems to not really change that much 😉
Either way, podcasting continues to grow year over year 🤷♂️
This is amazing video with a lot of great helpful works very you.
Glad that it helped. Sending my best to you on your future setup.
It's exactly what I was looking for thank you so much
My pleasure. Thank you.
Hey! Very informative and appreciated.
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.
Very cool stuff. I had no idea that Garage Band could be so useful. Always wondered how a podcast was made - and now I wonder how you include call in guests, and how you upload the whole project to wherever it is that people can listen.
I’ve done quite a few videos on this topic. Podcasted for years. It’s a much easier point of entry than you might think.
@@KevinRossRN Thanks, I will take a look through your library...
Best of luck on your journey friend 😀
I would actually listen to Popculture Podcast of this kid
Guess it might be time to start a new show 😎
This is a really great video thanks !
My pleasure. I’m glad you found it.
Thank you for this I was wondering why my lav mic was sounding so bad in garage band but I didnt realize there was the narrator default you could use 🤙🏿
There you go. Glad to help.
This is the best video I seen! Thanks!
And your comment is the best I’ve seen today. But I won’t tell anyone 🤫
Glad you found it helpful, friend. 👊
Perfect! Thanks Kevin.
And thank you for your time here. Sending my best to you on getting things dialed in. 🤘
20:20 That’s how I fix that too. I was excited to see something new but it’s also cool to be approved :D
It is nice to get a little validation on a fix. Great to have you here. Appreciate your time.
@@KevinRossRN Thank YOU for your time sir! I’ve asked another question and I would be delighted to get an answer for that too. Thank you for your time once again. :)
Aaaah iPhone too! Exciting 🎉
Yes indeed. 🤘
Great video! I bought the M1 iPad Pro for this reason.
It’s a fantastic little setup. Best of luck with your endeavor.
It's amazing how confusing this is. Can someone please help me to understand what kind of microphones he recommends, and what kind of audio interface is needed...in order to use multiple microphones....4-5.... Thank s so much
Thank you for your video. I am following your steps - step by step. I purchased the Motu M2. I got to 14:42 and went to tap the red button for microphone 2 and I get a pop up that states " Input Channel in Use. The input channel chosen is already in use by another track. To record on this track, choose an unused channel." Appreciate your help as I am stuck. Thank you
So a couple of questions to ask.
You have multitrack recording toggled on? Just wanted to double check.
When you add your additional microphone in GarageBand, you select input 2?
And then I also wanted to ask about the switches on your audio interface, are they switched to mono, or are those switched off?
This was an awesome video for sure. I learned so much in a small amount of time.
Really glad to have you here.
Great video. This is a cool setup. :)
Thanks! I’ve appreciated having another way to record.
Hey Kevin, thanks so much for this!! Very very helpful!
Also, what's the outro song at the end? I really like it
Thanks! I’ll actually have to go back in my archives to find the song. I’ll try to circle back on that, but I typically use epidemic sound for all of my tracks.
This is great!! What if i need one more microphone? I'm doing a 3 people podcast wnd would be great if everyone could get one mic each.
If you pick up the 4 channel interface then it should work.
You the MANZ and you know it
Only for today. 😎
worked for me on my motorolla
It did? That’s great!
Great video beyond helpful! 🤘
Thanks so much. Happy that it helped.
@@KevinRossRN I am working with a Zoom PodTrak P4. The issue I am having is that even when I set the Input Chanel Source the recording is being saved under both the inputs. Another thing I was trying to figure out is why only two inputs are coming up on the Ipad when the P4 has 4 inputs. Do you have any advice as to what I may be doing wrong? Maybe the Ipad only handles two inputs at a time? Thanks in advance for the help!
So I have tested this with the Zoom H6 and I can get it to recognize all those tracks separately.
So do you have a computer you can connect it to so that you can test that the interface is acting like an actual interface?
I don’t have the P4, but it’s a great piece of hardware. Wish they had it when I was first starting out.
So when you choose multitrack in GB, you get two tracks, correct? But then each track is being duplicated (same recording) in those tracks?
@@KevinRossRN I have not yet tried to hook up to the PC I guess that would be a good place to start.
As far as the multi track recording, the audio is indeed picked up by all 4 mics but then is also duplicated in all 4 tracks, GB is not recognizing the mics as separate. The user guide that comes included with the Zoom isn’t very detailed when it comes to pairing with a tablet.
Yeah the Zoom likely wouldn’t mention a tablet. It would mostly be about how it acts as an interface vs being a handheld recorder. Also, there’s another free app, Ferrite, on the App Store.
I’m curious to see if this may net you the same result. Just trying to figure out if it’s a “bug” with the P4 or the software.
Great video and exactly what I was looking for! Did you ever get around to doing the video on podcasting with two guests in different locations?
Thanks! You mean as far as podcasting with two remote guests using the iPad, or podcasting with remote guests using a computer?
The timing of this video is great with many people starting New things. Happy New Year!🎊
Indeed. I usually notice an increase in interest around podcasting every new year (at least every new year that I've been doing this), so I just wanted to provide some extra resources for folks looking to pursue this endeavor.
Appreciate you popping over here and always love chatting it up. Happy New Year to you as well friend. Sending my best.
Excellent video bro!
Appreciate it. Thanks for your time.
Excellent tutorial
Thanks so much. Sending you my best on how you get things set up on your end. 🎙🎧
Wow, what a great and useful video! I’m preparing to do exactly this with my new iPad Pro (2021). Any recommendations for an audio interface that has three mic inputs?
Thanks! As far as three, you may find yourself looking at a four channel input. They’re usually in pairs like this (typically that is).
MOTU has some additional options and Scarlett also has the 18i8 that will have four XLR inputs.
The handheld recorder that I also use is the Zoom H6. Should be linked below, but that can act as an audio interface or you can record directly into it.
There’s also this device: amzn.to/3xZZvvf
And again you can record directly into it if you want and then take those split tracks from the device and bring it into the editor.
Congrats on the iPad Pro. Looking forward to reviewing this iPad when it comes in.
@@KevinRossRN Great, I’ll look at those options. New subscriber here.
Happy to have you on board. 👊🤙
Thanks for the tutorial
You bet. Thanks for hanging out.
Great video with super helpful and clear info. Appreciate the know how and the world you put in to get to this point of understanding. 🤙🏼🙏🏼
Very glad to help friend. Sending my best to you.
ok, great video ! I get the audio part fine- how do I match the video to sync with the recorded audio?
Once you select record on your audio and the video, clap 3-2-1. And then when you bring your audio and video together you will look at the spikes in the audio clips from the clapping and just drag those clips to match, then cut that part out and boom, you should be synced.
Thanks for thee aiding&abetting
Ha! Happy to help.
This Video Lead to a new subscriber (THANK YOU)
Happy to be of service. Glad you found it helpful. Appreciate your time here. 🤘
I wasn’t sure if the iPad would work for this but needed the portability of a MacBook but couldn’t afford one. I’ll have to take one for a spin and see if it works.
Yep. Sometimes it’s the only (or best) computer someone may have, so I wanted to test it for myself.
Best of luck.
Wohoo I got them!! Thanks so much
You did? Well alrighty then.
Hey Kevin, love the video! Was just wondering since I have two atr2100x mics if they will work with this set up since it seems that the only way they are able to be powered on is with both usb-c and xlr plugged in.
Hey thanks! So you should be able to run this via XLR into the interface with any USB-C involvement. The interface is what powers them.
Thank you!
You bet. Good luck.
Great video! I subscribed after watching. Quick question - could I just run a few USB mics to the iPad through an adapter rather than using the interface? What's the benefit of the interface?
The interface splits out the tracks. Plugging in multiple mics at one may or may not work. Just depends on the mic. The built in audio of the iPad may default to one or the other. But at the very least if both mics fire up, they’ll be on the same track.
This is helpful thank you. I’d this is how we are recording audio with a usb mic and iPad how does the camera tie into or connect to all of this?
I would recommend just recording separately with the camera. Then, you’d take the audio tracks from the iPad and the video from the camera and drop all of those into a video editor.
You’d remove the audio from the camera because the built in mic isn’t going to sound good at all, but it’s great to use it as a reference for the better quality you’re getting from the interface and iPad.
Hopefully that makes sense.
handy for resetuping s or creating karaoke tracks. Thanks for the recomndation!
Right there 🤘
Very imformative vid. Thank you
My pleasure. Really glad to help.
Such a great video man. Thank you so much
You got it. 🤙
And thank you 👊
could i use in ear monitors instead of studio headphones? please respond
Whatever fits your workflow, yes.
Awesome information. 👍👍
Thanks! Glad it helped.
I have a question for anyone, how do you do a podcast on an iPad using two USB mics? Thanks
I don’t think it’s possible but you can record one person on 1 iPad or phone, and other person on the other iPad or phone then merge the audio together after.
Thanks for popping in on this one. Must have missed this comment. And agree that another iPad or even and iPhone to record the audio tracks and then bring them together in post.
There are workarounds, but would require additional equipment.
My hubby and I are getting ready to set up our podcasts thanks to you. One question… I ordered the blue yeti mic ( 2 of them) my hubby is my co host, I was wondering is this mic good for the interface ?? I ordered based of of your other tutorial, not realizing it was for a single host based platform. Please advise if the blue yeti will work with interface in this video
Congrats on the podcast. So the Blue Yeti, if it’s the exact one I recommended from another video would actually not be compatible with an interface without a workaround.
These interfaces are XLR compatible, so the mics in this video have USB and XLR options whereas the Yeti is just USB and plugs directly into the computer.
To make this work you’d need a series of workarounds by getting a USB to male XLR adapter, and then there would be a mini USB adapter for the mic since the Yeti doesn’t have a full Sized USB port going into the mic.
And honestly, the more connections, the more points of failure.
Thank you so much, So appreciate your help. I was able to cancel my order just in time. I will purchase the mic listed in this video. Thanks again for what you do.👍🏾
Sure thing. And yes, any XLR mic will work, but I do like the ATR 2100 because of its versatility. The Samson Q2U is also a great choice.
Anyway, glad you were able to cancel your order in time. Sending my best.
You record the audio and video separately then edit together?
Exactly right. 👍
are you only able to have multiple mics on ipad?
Just like the video shows, yep! The audio interface is the easiest way to make this happen. It’ll save you so much time and headache trying to figure out workarounds...and time is money.
Actually, just re-read your comment. So if you’re asking if you can only have multiple mics...meaning can you have a single mic setup? Yes, you can use a single mic.
This was an awesome video! This gave me a lot of direction on how to make our dream come true!
So, in recording, it will only let me record under 2 minutes. I am trying to trouble shoot, but I cannot figure it out! Any tips?
Thanks.
Go to the timeline, click the plus sign in the right corner, the bars option will pop up, then check automatic.
@@KevinRossRN Yes, I did that. For some reason, when I plug in the microphone, it won't let me record more than a minute and 30 seconds. I bought one of those usb to IPAD adapters off Amazon to attach our microphones to and for some reason, even when I do all of those things, such as automatic, changing how many bars I have, going deep into the iPad settings to turn on the automatic setting, it still stops my recording after about 1:30.
Click on the gear toward the upper right, then advanced…are you in multi-track recording?
Where can I find the video that you showed for example recording straight onto a phone as well as the video you go over having two people not in the same space?
The smartphone one is here: ruclips.net/video/i8vXujZrY9Q/видео.htmlsi=qy22a-X4-5BNUtTK
And the remote hosts and guests one is here: ruclips.net/video/02rJZ-iwxkI/видео.htmlsi=htmEMPJqEkhPjK9x
👆This one is an older video and there are other options, but I still use this set up with many of my remote recordings.
Hey Kevin! LOVED the video. As someone who is looking to start a podcast, this is right up my alley as already have a lot of this equipment. My questions are this: How much storage does say an hour or two hour podcast take up on the iPad? I have a 7th Gen iPad, should i get the Pro and do i REALLY need to get a Pro for this or will a regular iPad work just fine? Thanks in advance!!!
Hey, happy to help. So as far as the space is concerned, you should be fine. .wav files for a 1 hour podcast with two tracks will usually range from as low as 1 and up to 6 GBs depending how much you’re adding as far as tracks or other audio. You can also compress that file down to less than 1GB, but that of course gets spun down to a much smaller .mp3 when you share it.
@@KevinRossRN Awesome. Thanks. And as for iPad 7th Gen vs. iPad Pro? You think I'll be fine rocking the 7th Gen?
Yeah, just make sure you have that lightening adapter that you can also plug in. The iPad should power it with out the plug in option, but just in case.
If I can run this thing on an iPhone, you should be just fine.
Great video very helpful
Thanks! Glad to be of service.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for being here.
YOU ARE THE BEST ❤
Only because of you. 🤘
Perfect video my dude, thanks a lot : )
Appreciate your time. Glad to have you here. 🤙
Hey Kevin great video man thanks
But I have one question if you record podcast and also record a video as well of our self and we using camera so we just put this audio on to that video ??
Correct. You would sync those up in post. I know I’ve done a video on this very thing. I just have to find it 🤣
Can you upload background music on garage band?
Sure, just create another track and add it in.
I have a 12.9inch Ipad pro, and Ive got a recording and I’m trying to share it but when I tap on share it wont let me share it as a song that doesnt come up as a option? Any help?
I believe the iPad OS updates tend to move things around.
Try this:
Open up your GarageBand folder where the project is.
You’ll see your GB projects in there all together.
Look up in the top right corner under the battery status where it says Select.
Select, then toggle on the radio button of the file you’re working with.
Then, once toggled/selected with a check box...
Go down to the bottom left and click share.
Share Song should pop up.
@@KevinRossRN That unfortunately didnt work either. Im on ios 14.4
@@KevinRossRN I figured it out I think i wasnt saving it with the little paper icon in the top left before I hit the share button.
So you got it to work?
@@KevinRossRN Yup all set!
Great video. You have really helped me a lot with this. I’m assuming if I have a Focusrite I can use my mic input one and run an XLR in the second input to a 1/4 inch-3.5-lightning dongle to multi track my mic output and the iPhone audio. I’m trying to achieve the ability to play RUclips clip audio and sound board app on my phone. Hope that makes sense
So to clarify, you want to have a mic for input one, and then the phone connected as input 2, but really it’s just to play RUclips clips as part of the podcast/audio project? If that’s the case, then yes.
@@KevinRossRN nail on the head
There you go. 🔨
Thank you thank you thank you🙏🏾
It’s my pleasure. Best of luck to you.
I went and liked this video right after I was called beautiful
That’s how we roll on this channel. 🤘
Appreciate you.
Great explanation dude. It caught my attention that you are using Zoom H6 as well. Can it also do multi-track recording in an iPad/ iPhone? I’m a musician. Planning to hook 2 XLR dynamic mics, 1 guitar, 1 keyboard. I need at least 4 ports recording simultaneously. If you have other suggestions with this setup, it would be a great help to me. Thanks a lot man. All the best.
Thanks! And yeah, you can use that H6 as an interface just as you would on a computer. I should do a video on that, but I did test hooking up multiple inputs in GarageBand with the H6.
I love your content on podcasts. I’m trying to start a podcast and I’m using a maonocaster lite interface. I’m having trouble connecting the second mic. It came with one and my second is a usb mic which I need an usb to 3.5 jack, can you give any advice?
Thanks
Jose
I’d have to look into this further but I believe this particular interface is combining those two tracks into one.
Again, I’d have to research this further to give you a more definitive answer.
@@KevinRossRN Thanks so much for taking out the time I appreciate it and any further input would be greatly appreciated!
My man what is your iPad case?
Ah, I just looked and it seems it’s not sold anymore. It’s from Supveco.
Where can I get most of the equipment from ?
I have specific links in the description. These are all the pieces I recommend and/or have used.
Thanks for your help in helping me remember the 1990s switcher technology that I once used in the 1990s. But I am also curious about one particular American component used by hard drive cloners.
In my country's government they do not want us civilians to use their scan-copy-transfer (SCT IC Chip) IC chip which can scan incoming computer input, make multiple copies of it, and transfer one of each of these multiple copies to 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 individual CPUs that will process the WHOLE information and then they use an another component that receives the processed information and compare all of the results and once all are cross-referenced and are the same they are then combined as one information output which is then displayed on one or more computer monitor display.
Does your American hard drive cloners can do the same? And what is the key component in your hard drive cloners that can make multiple duplicate copies of the 1st primary hard drives and then transfers those multiple duplicate copies to several tens of dozens of hard drives? Can you and somebody or anybody help me please?
Maybe, just maybe that key critical component of your American hard drive cloners can do the same function as my country's government's (SCT IC Chip) Scan - Copy - Transfer IC Chip.
This is such a great video!! When I connect my M2 to the IPAD it does not power up? Any reason why?
Just saw a lower comment, I am indeed rocking he iPad Air Gen4? LOL. Will it not work with this IPAD? I do have the Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter in the link you commented to.
So you are rocking with the iPad Air Gen4? The Apple lightning adapter would only work with the iPad that has the lightening port, but just wanted to clarify your particular device.
@@KevinRossRN Thanks for the quick reply! I actually bought a USB 3.0 adapter so I can power on the M2 now. The mic is working an everything but how do I hear myself now? lol Do I need to change the output of for the audio?
Great! Did you push the monitor button on the M2 and then plug in headphones for the monitor jack on the right side?
@@KevinRossRN Lmao yes that did it... thank you good sir!!
Great video! One problem is that the mic channel button on my iPad is still greyed out. Anyone knows how to fix that?
Thanks! So to clarify, you have your mics connected via an audio interface and then connected to the iPad? If so, what is the equipment you have in your workflow?
Hello thank you for your video,it's great!
i was searching informations about motu and the compatibility with an ipad pro usb-c . Do you know if it s possible to plug the motu to the ipad directly with a usb-c/usb-c cable ? Or do i need absolutely a powered hub ?
For the iPad Pro and Air, those will power it, however as you’ll find here in the comments that the iPad (lightning port) has typically required that adapter.
