Thanks Patrick, I use the Atolla powered USB-Hub and it works perfect 👌. Do you have an advice for a good budget microphone 🎤 for a singer/songwriter using IPAD and Do you know of a lightening female to USB-C adapter like the earlier 30 pins to lightening adapter, as I have a guitar interface (Line 6 Sonic port (non VX)) with only has a lightening connection at the end and is not usable on my IPAD PRO 2020 (USB-C) anymore, so otherwise I have to buy an audio-interface like the Scarlet. Thanks in advance 😃
Hi very helpful post thank u. Am all set up with mic and guitar inputs into Scarlett solo using iPad mini 5 (2018/2019) and I can hear my monitor playing but upon playback in GarageBand I can’t hear anything and I can’t see any frequency graphing on music line. I notice master volume on app is inactive?? I did see your video on track duplication….but not sure Any advice? Cheers IM
Great video, I have a question for you... I recently got a new Ipad Mini 6 and loaded it with all my soft synths which I control with my Ableton Live DAW installed on a Mac Mini (attached to a M-Audio Air audio interface). Because this newer ipad doesnt have a 3.5 jack (its USB C) I am not sure how to connect this to my audio interface?... I am able to experience MIDI over Bluetooth and trigger the Ipad synths with hardware keyboards and controllers with the help of an app called Midimittr (which makes the ipad talk to my Mac Mini) but how do I get the sound to my speakers?... I feel like I am asking something really silly and may be able to figure it out anytime now, but for the moment I am stuck.. thanks
Could you please help me, I am trying to connect my iPad using everything that you've mentioned but my iPad is not picking up the condenser microphone from the audio interface. ( no input channel has been showing). On IPAD.
Hi is it a way to use the microphone for google duo or zoom calls ? I am not able to switch the microphone there. It is by default picking up the ipad's microphone. The microphone works in garage band though.
Thanks very much for ALL your videos. They are the best. Your explanations are very clear. Can I also hookup my Mac to the powered USB interface? If so, will I be able to directly import sounds I create on the iPad into Logic Pro, or are the audio worlds of iPad and Mac separate? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! 👍 You can port over entire projects created in iOS and open them in Logic on your Mac. You don’t even need a USB interface, just use Airdrop. 👍
Bought a cheap Amazon lightning port adapter (not from apple) and it worked fine. Tried this with the powered hub tho, and it didn’t work. The iPad didn’t recognize anything.
Please can you tell me what if the quickest and cheapest way of connecting the line out of my amp into my iPad. It doesn't need to be fancy. It just needs to be fairly streamlined. Having multiple cables like this won't fly with the wife
I use the Behringer UMC404HD that has its own power adapter and also the ACCK connected to a 30W USB-C Power Adapter with an original Apple Lightning to USB-C cable to power the iPad Pro. There should be enough power but since one of last year's system updates I get the "requires too much power" error anyway. Then I need to unplug-plug a couple of times to make it go away. Not a very stable solution.
And the most strange thing is that it works perfectly if I use a very cheap generic single usb adapter (with no lightning in for recharging ipad). But on this way i cannot recharge ipad, of course. But it works without any error message
@@TheGaragebandGuide I’ve bought those 3rd party thangs in the past and they ain’t worth it in the end. At least the apple stuff works. It’s just so buuuudy expensive
I used 20W adopter straight to main in the lightening plug along with the focusrite scarlet 2i2, but whenever I turn on the 48w phantom power for the mic, the phone shows the same message. I tried to use the powerbank but it did not work. Can anybody suggest me what should I do?
Hi, I just received an adapter and powered usb hub, yet when I plug my m-audio air into the hub it turns on, but doesn’t register on my iPad at all. Like in the mic channel settings there is no option for the interface, nor is there a notification on my iPad saying the interface is connected. Is there any solution so that my iPad can recognize that the interface is connected?
The Apple dongle is not required. I use a single MeloAudio lightning-to-USB "OTG" cable between my iPad/iPhone and my audio interface or MIDI keyboard. (Available from Amazon.)
hmmmm. I've got a steinberg UR22c audio interface. So I have a RHODE mic into that (with 48V phantom power on). I have 5V DC power supply (via a power brick) powering the audio interface (the lights come on!). I then connect the Steinberg output (USBC) to the iPhone 13 mini (lightning). But it does not work, the RHODE mic input is not picked up by either the audio recorder app or garage band. I can't see why this should not work, i.e. the camera adaptor should not be necessary (because I am powering the audio interface independently). Any ideas? thanks !
@@neilkilleen3911 not sure if this helps, but I got it to work and it was 2 very simple things. 1. I am using a powered usb hub to connect the audio interface and get phantom power. I noticed I was plugging the USB interface to a port that does not transfer data (only charges) so I just changed the usb port. After that, GarageBand was indeed recognizing both the interface and mic, but I was not able to record nor hear anything. I noticed my interface (M Audio Mtrack Duo) has some switches for the output of the sound. It has mono, stereo and USB. You have to make sure it is set on USB since that is how the interface is connected to the device. Hope this might help
I'm having the strange issue of my interface which I've been using with my ipad suddenly not function right. It begins to light up, but cannot finish hooking up for use. I'm using a Behringer UMC404HD. I'm finding nothing on the webs touching on this problem. It's been working great for the year or more since I got it until this week.
I’m having the same problem. I’m using the PreSonus audiobox ione. It was working for 2 years now my iPad won’t recognize my audio box. I just updated to IOS 16.1 and nothing.
What drives me crazy is I have a shitty iPhone 7 that connects perfectly fine to my Scarlett 2i2 (with the lightning accessory), but not for my iPad (it’s an iPad Air 2). Makes no sense to me. Even having the iPad simultaneously charging doesn’t fix the issue for me.
Knows anyone a very cheap interface which can I use with the Blue Yeti (A USB Mic) on my iPhone 8? And yes, I already have the lightning to usb adapter.
You don’t need an interface to use the yeti, you should be able to plug it straight into the adapter then plug into your iPhone. You may need to add power to the adapter too.
@@TheGaragebandGuide Yess it works. But the problem is the blue yeti has a funktion where you can hear you on your own. You know if I can switch it off?
I wish it was that easy, after all that my focusrite 2i4 keeps blinking, no message on the iPhone about needing power or adaptor connected, nothing. Using Apple camera adaptor into iPhone 11pro max, and focusrite 2i4 1st gen connected. Powering Everything with original iPhone lighting cable… but it just won’t work. HELP?
Mine just stops working randomly and never works again using the same usb Hub. I had to buy multiple hubs. I get no error message. One moment it works, then a week, a month later it stops working and nothing I do makes it work. I have a 100 watt powered hub with a 100 watt charger. Both anker. Slat this point Apple is starting to really piss me off and I’m considering telling Apple to F and not buying their overpriced garbage again.
Yeah i know all of what you’re talking about but it’s not picking up my irig2 as well and that’s going out from the headphone jack just flat not working, but thank you anyways
Don’t know if anybody here and help me or not but I keep running into the same problem my iPad will only detect my audio interface which is in Irig hd2t for 30 seconds at a time and then cuts offAnd revert to trying to use the built-in microphone on the iPad itself. I tried for a new cables I’ve tried everything nothing works it’s very aggravating as anybody hear it run into that?
It also gives this with any midi device I have plugged in as well not even using the I rig. I’ve cleaned it out I’ve done everything I can think of besides throw it through a fucking wall
When I plug my audio interface into the camera adapter and the camera adapter into my iPhone 14 Pro nothing happens. It just behaves like the integrated microphone is the only option
@@ShihTzuPostingI never tried. I just gave up. Apple makes it too hard sometimes… they need to make more $$ so they make us use all these weird proprietary adapters. Other devices are just plug and play. I wasted hours on trying to get it to work and gave up. It makes me consider just leaving the Apple ecosystem altogether. Hope you get yours to work..
I'm just curious if you were getting audio and not the microphone? That's the situation I have. I'm using band lab on iOS on a 9th gen iPad and I can get the sound through the headphones attached to the audio interface, but it's ignoring the microphone like you said. I have a multi-port USB c adapter and I have a USB-A adapter on that and have it plugged into the camera port thing for the Apple. I have power plugged into the multi-port adapter, but I'm curious if a powered hub is going to provide a different profile and make it work
@@scottlarock7924 nah nothing worked. I’m switching to Android because fuck Apple. I can’t even record a video and plug in an external mic because they need to make $30 on a shitty adapter. (Sorry for the rage)
@@riffdex no apologies necessary. I'm a long Android person and a friend had an iPad with a busted screen so I thought I'd try and make use of it and I figured it'd be fun to have around for those iOS exclusive music apps or whatever. I will spin it positively just to say that it has made my decision to be on Android all these years a good one. :-)
Oh I wish I had an error message. My iPad just ignores the interface completely as if nothing is shoved in its port and judging by the lack of light on the interface, the feeling’s mutual
Yo solía usar productos apple pero la verdad es que es gastar dinero, la verdad es que lo único que sigo extrañando es drummer pero la marca ya esta muy fuera de alcance en paises de tercer mundo, lastima.
this comment might be useful for anyone having issues still with making it work: on usb-c powered interfaces, like Motu M2, it is crucially important to first fire up the interface, and ONLY THEN connect it to the iPhone. Was bashing my head for 2 days until I figured this. Good luck!!
Wtf are you talking about? If the interface is connected to the hub that is connected to the iPad, how do you separate connecting the interface to the iPad and power??? It is the source of power… ffs.
Thanks for your advice. I bought the dongle and the Atolla hub and all work great. Saved the day. Great channel, thank you
Thanks so much I actually worried about using my plugs for audio Interface but your explanation was quite straigtforward to me
