  • USB microphones are a straightforward way to record your vocals, guitars or whatever into your iOS device and GarageBand.
    Unless you’re using one of the newer iPad Pro models, you’ll be connecting your USB microphone of choice to your iDevice via it’s lightning port.
    Therein lies the problem - Most popular USB microphones output to a USB A port.
    That’s where Apple’s Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter comes in.

    Is the iPad 8th gen type C? I read it is for the charging but I'm new to apple, can I simply use the charging port on it that's type C for a USB mic for this particular iPad model? It has the 3.5 mm headphone jack. Great video. I have android and use a otg cable type C to connect my yeti to my galaxy tablet and use audio evolution which is incredible. But I want to try garage band really bad so I figured I would ask you, someone with experience 👍

    I have a question... Will this setup work on ios along with a separate DAC at the same time when both are connected to an ipad via a powered USB hub since I may need a good clean signal to my hard to drive headphones in case the yeti's headphone output isn't beefy enough or when I need to connect to a studio monitor.

    Thank you, this is a very helpful guide. But when I connected my Zoom H2 microphone, I still got the "this accessory requires too much power" error - even though I did connect it to power using the lightning port on the adapter. I know the Zoom is an older mic, but I think it's pretty good and was hoping I could use it. Any thoughts?

      Try connecting the power cable to a laptop usb port instead of the mains adaptor. I use this method to connect my Focusrite mixer to my ipad. Some devices require more power than a mains adaptor can provide, but the laptop or desktop usb ports provide more current.

    I have a Samson Q9U microphone that I have used previously with my iphone 13 (approx 2 months ago) and it recorded the external mic with the camera app with no issues. For some reason it now, no longer works in the camera app or voice recorder.
    It does work with one app 100% of the time, Recorder Plus (voice recording app), but not Apple native apps.... I am connected via an OTG to lightning adapter and powered USB hub. Apple have been completely useless and have said it is my mic, despite it working perfectly with Zoom, Loom and FCPX for 4 - 5 hours every day!
    I have about 21 hours of footage that has used the iPhone mic and it sounds terrible!
    Any ideas why this is the case and more importantly, how to fix it?

    I'm considering the Rode NT USB mini to connect into an iPad, but I am confused about the necessity for the expensive Camera Kit. I already have a straight USB-A to lightening cable for one iPad, and a USB-A to USB-C for my other iPad.... that's how these plug in to my iMac already. So, why the Camera kit? it seems only to be doing exactly the same - that is, converting from one connection type to another.

      One way to work around this problem, if you are using a usb microphone like in the video, make sure the microphone itself has a headphone plug in (most do). Not 100% sure it will work, but buying one tomorrow to use with mac/ipad/iphone. The micro is a Hyper X Quadcast S with in built headphone standard jack receiver. I is compatible with these devices and ps4. Hope this helps.
