I thought you were going to show us how to record into GarageBand with an external device. How do you switch the input? By default GarageBand wants to record the built-in microphone.
Hi Patrick. Thanks so much for your info. Such a contrast from most American tutorials… straight to the point! Your Scottish brogue was a nice bonus. Cheers Andrew (Australia)
That first acoustic track was amazing..amp in front of the iPad mic..simply micing the amp..I gave this a shot over a year ago Patrick..and was amazed with the quality of the recording..p.s…I have the VisualEQConsole plugin
Hi. Great video. I’ve tried going to your site but cannot find that exact UGreen usb C multi adapter with the audio Jack on it. Do you have a direct link. There website is not much help.
Hi Patrick. Very nice informative video. Can you please share the details of that ugreen USB C hub? The links in the description don't direct me to that device on your website, or am I being an auld eejit?
Hi! Great video. I have a question. Currently im trying to use ipad while playing guitar. Is there a way to use ipad speaker as a audio output. Im using focusrite btw. Is plugging in headphones or speaker to focusrite interface the only way?
Thanks just purchased an iPad Pro 2020 upgrade from a 2017. It didnt click for me about the USBC until I received it. Just ordering all the cables and hubs I need for a headphone jack included to use for monitoring when recording vocals. Thank as always for your insights!
As a beginner guitar player I've heard it’s a good idea to record yourself and listen to the playback to see where you need to improve. Given that basis, I'm thinking of purchasing something like the Focusrite 2i2 or Solo to connect my guitar to my ipad air 4 via the usb-c and use GarageBand to record. However, the audio interfaces are powered from the ipad usb-c port. Has anybody any idea how long the ipad battery will last while powering the input and running GarageBand? Would it be better to use an audio interface that has its own power connector, and if so, what would b3 a good one (on performance par with the Focusrite units?
First of all, thanks for your video. For information, I use a ipad-air USB-C and an audio interface Behringer 204 HD. SO , a usb-b to usb-c cable (therefore: original output from the Behringer interface to ipad air input) works perfectly. The power supplied by the ipad is sufficient, no problem in use. A french musician.
Yooo this is the question I was looking to get answered! Just to confirm a USB-B to USB-C cable works on your iPad (with usb C ) without any extra power needed?
@@jinfield Hi. Yes it does it. My ref : ipad air 2 last generation (i think 5) on Garage Band and Behringer UMC 22 and for information the Behringer power consumption is no greater than if you are running heavy software. In fact everything is working perfectly ! 😊🎸
I wonder if you have a recommendation on a way to both charge the iPad and connect a USB-C audio interface to the USB-C iPads. With my iRid HD2 and a USB-C hub, the iRig does not appear to be recognized (it does work if plugged in directly).
thank you very much but can we connect a speaker to the output of this box..? I see everyone putting on headphones but no one sending the sound on a speaker :(
Grear video! I'm just starting out using Garageband on my Ipad Air (Generation 4) with a Spark amp and condenser mic also. Can you tell me if I need an audio interface and if so, which one so they can all be all plugged in as well as using my own guitar?
Patrick, total rookie here, i got my 4th gen Scarlett, planning to operate from the ipad.... do i need anything from the free bundle that they gave withit, or have a what i need on the ipad. thanks a lot!
My biggest problem is that I want to connect my pocket operators or korg nts-1 or monotron duo or roland t8 to my ipad pro 2020 model that has NO headphone jack and is usb-c. How can I do this? Any ideas? Thanks.
I have the interface and everything is good but I can’t hear the out put of my iPad Pro it self and I have to listen with the earphone, is there anyway I could hear through the iPad speaker? Thank you.
Hi! I’ve just bought a 10th gen. iPad. The only way to use GarageBand with a microphone while I’m using my earphones is to use my iRig 2. However, when I connect the iRig to the iPad the volume goes up to the max. I’ve tried moving the volume wheel on the iRig, with no effect. Besides, when I connect the earphones to the iPad (no iRig this time) it doesn’t let me use the built-in microphone. Do I need to change anything on the settings of the iPad? Thank you.
Hello, thanks for this video. I have a Motu M4, but am experiencing audio glitches and distortion when playing back back from my iPad. I am running AUM from my iPad. Have you ever experienced glitches or audio cutting out while connecting to an interface?
I’m having a similar issue. Going from a Motu M2 direct to an iPad 11pro and I’m getting a some really bad intermittent distortion just while playing. I’ve used other gear to isolate everything but the interface to iPad connection. Anyone able to successfully resolve this?
I get much louder sound when I use the iPad mic (but not the best quality). I also get a full wave form for the track. When I connect using the Focusright Scarlet Solo I get much lower volume and almost no waver form on the track even with gain turned pretty high. Is there a way to get iPad level sound/wave forms while using an audio interface like the Focusright? Currently, the Focusright isn't much better than when I plug the mic directly into the ipad (rather than through the Focusright). I've tired with both Shure and Behringer mics and a direct connection between the audio interface and the guitar. Thanks!
Hello, I don’t know why but my ipad cannot record any guitar lick I try. My interface picks it up and I can hear what’s playing through it but my ipad isn’t picking it up whatsoever. Maybe there is a setting I’m missing or something i do not know but it’s getting to me. I’m using the M track solo
please do one on writing drum parts. there is already a lot out there about inserting these stock drum beats but almost nothing out there about creating your own beats and fills.
Hooking up Squire strat to ipad via Tascam iXZ works fine. However, hooking up strat to ipad via Steinberg UR22C audio interface (using powered hub) causes significant hum. Hum disappears when i touch audio interface, guitar strings or metal ends of guitar cord. Hum gets worse if i use the hi-z option on the audio interface. Is there a way around this or stick with the lower quality iXZ for electrical guitar recordings? I suppose noise gate in GB is always an option. Just want to make sure i'm not going to end up getting zapped with electrical current.
I’ve read that for the “proper audio interfaces” it is required to use not only the usb adapter but also a powered usb hub to get the power to the interface 5:32. Is that true?
I have a boss gt-1 and all the cables and connectors but it doesn’t do anything when it’s all plugged into my iPad, do I still need buy an additional connector or something
Does proper audio interfaces shorten the battery life of ipads? It's crazy that technology has reached this far, but I'm a bit worried about the energy consumption of such a direct connection in the long run.
Thanks for the great video. Got the Motu M2 but I’m getting some distortion/with the connection from the interface to the iPad. It’s an 11pro and it’s damn near brand new. Possibly a bad cable? I’ve isolated all the other connections/cables. Any tips would be appreciated. It’s basically unusable at this point. Thank you.
Hi. I don’t know why my Rolland Duo Capture is not recognisable by my iPad. I have ISY hub and everything is connected properly but i still get no signal from my interface? Anything im doing wrong?
Not AS good, no. Probably still usable though. I have an iPhone specific version of this video you can check out if you want: ruclips.net/video/6wUmdpRmkww/видео.html
I find that Green multi interface extremely frightening, one wrong move and you rip apart the whole USB-C nest on your expensive iPad. The less junk hanging from that one little USB-C plug the better. What about a small 1' or 2' cable extension?
The latest iRig HD model comes with a USB C to mini USB cable according to IK Multimedia’s website. www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irighd2/index.php?p=specs
These videos are brilliant. I now have the knowledge to go buy my next 2 day wonder gadget. Must remember to flog my boss looper first. And my minidisc player. 🤭
I have an iPad 10th gen and an irig with the headphone jack but audio does not come through the headphones??? Headphones are plugged in….why no sound!?!?
@@bobbyhermans For the Acoustic guitar demo I had the headphones attached to the Ugreen hub's headphone port. For the iRig Pro I/O & audio interface demos, I had the headphones attached to the interfaces headphone ports.
@@TheGaragebandGuideI have the pro 21 and the anker usb c hub. I want to record acoustic then vocals and overdubs. I can’t get the iPad internal mics to record and monitor simultaneously through the hub at the same time . Am I doing something wrong?
I have got a presonus audiobox itwo which I used to connect with an iPad 2nd gen using lightning cable. Recently i have upgraded to iPad Air 5,which has the usb c connection. I tried to connect the cable that comes with the ipad using a usb a to usb c converter, but the ipad is not recognising the device. Anyone facing the same issue? Any suggestions are really welcome
I just got the same presonus box, and hooked it up to my iPad air 5. Did you make sure to connect the USB2.0 plug on the presonus to some kind of power source? I connected mine an Apple power plug. Along with that, I connected the USB A connector on the presonus to the USB C connector on the iPad. Everything works. I can control the GB instruments with the KB of my synth, and the audio output of the synth to audio tracks in GB
I've been in the telecommunications industry for 40 years and have come to the conclusion that I don't like Apple products. I use Apple products at work, and when I get home, I use my Samsung products. Are these interfaces compatible with Android devices?

The free software is only compatible with desktop computers unfortunately!
I just use a Yamaha THR, connect to iPad as audio interface, monitors, and wireless system. And acoustic guitar could use IR too.
Sounds like a great setup!

Use Bluetooth headphones that should work
Why not the UAD Volt1 interface which is not very expensive and has a separate power supply and Midi sockets ?
What exactly would I need to connect an electronic drum kit and a guitar to my ipad? Me and a friend who's a drummer want to set this up. Thanks.

I’ve read that for the “proper audio interfaces” it is required to use not only the usb adapter but also a powered usb hub to get the power to the interface 5:32. Is that true?
That’s not required with an iPad with a USB-C connection. Lightning based iPads however DO require extra power.
Perfect, thank you!

Is it ok to going live performance using ipad pro 2021 (using bias fx as guitar effect) + usb hub + M track solo then direct to speaker?
Yes, i do it with a focusrite 2i2 + guitar and microfone
Does proper audio interfaces shorten the battery life of ipads? It's crazy that technology has reached this far, but I'm a bit worried about the energy consumption of such a direct connection in the long run.

HOW DO U CONNECT THE GUITAR all i saw was XLR connections
All of the interface inputs in the video are combo inputs. You can attach your guitar jack or an XLR cable to them.
So...I can't just use my fuitsr jack-usbc straight to my ipad?
Would an I-phone 11 be as good quality an I-pad in terms of mic?
Not AS good, no. Probably still usable though. I have an iPhone specific version of this video you can check out if you want: ruclips.net/video/6wUmdpRmkww/видео.html
So I pad 10th gen, headphone Jack adapter, plug irig in and sound only comes from ipad
What app are you using on here? Garage band won’t let me record audio.
Wait lol idk how to even use the built in mic where is that option on garage band
I have a iPad Pro and the iRig Pro and I get no sound from it... does not seem to work, is there something I am missing running this with Garageband?
i have the same problem. what should I do? should it not be on amps?
