Very well presented! I had this problem yesterday and I ordered a USB hub. This video truly shows how to make it work properly. Kudos
Awesome! Glad to hear it helped Ken. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Pete, keep up the great work. It is so good for those of us who are newbies. 🤘
Nice one Stephen! Glad to hear it my friend.
Great stuff Pete, thanks for sharing! -Dean
Cheers Dean. Good to hear from you as always.
Excellent Excellent! Precisely the info I was looking for. I have a focusrite 2i2 and a star tech active power USB Hub on the way to use with the Pro. I wasn't sure how I was going to set it up properly with the Apple dongle, but I do now thanks to you. Thanks a million friend!
Very welcome Carlos. 👍
Great vid brother! My father just bought the Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen and it was buggin out on us. You saved the day with this one! Thanks
Nice one my friend! Very glad to hear.
THANK YOU! Was running into the "too much power" issue but the USB hub which I had lying around did the trick! Thanks so much!
Awesome! Glad to hear. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Pete, thank you for all of your informative and helpful videos! I'm using an iPad Air2, a Scarlett 3rd gen solo connected through a third party camera connector. It works all of the time, but there is background static whenever phantom power (48V) is enabled. Any thoughts??
Hmmm…. Might not be getting enough power through and need a powered USB hub. As you know I also highly recommend the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter - ua-cam.com/video/qt6ZczdUdV4/v-deo.html
Thank you for making this video. Your explanation of class compliance helped me understand why my old alesis multi mic 8 works on my old Mac but not my iPhone.
Very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
THANKS PETE ALWAYS AWESOME TIPS, I HAVE ORDERED THE IRIG PRO DUO, JUST WAITING FOR IT TO COME IN
Nice one! Definitely the easiest way to go if you don’t want any hassles connecting.
Is it good?
You answered all my questions - excellent work!
Cheers! I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Thank for all the videos you made sir! Me as a beginner, very useful
Great to hear my friend.
You are a huge legend. My adio box go wasnt working on the ipad using the powered usb hub fixed the issue. Thankyou soooooooooooooooooooooo much. I spent hours trying to fix it and almost gave up and bought a different audio interface
Awesome! Very glad to help. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Thank you so much!! This video is so detailed and helpful. :)
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Hey Pete, thanks for all the videos! I wonder if you have any experience with Ipad pro? It has the usbc connection instead of the thunderbolt. I ran my audiotechnica at2020 thru a phantom power box then through a cloud lifter then thru a focusrite scarlett into an apple multiport adapter into my ipad pro. I tried everything for an hour and I couldnt get it to work. Testing to see if cables were bad, in app settings, etc.. Then as a last resort, I switched the usbc to usbc cable to a usbc to usba cable and finally that worked! You would think that usbc from multiport to usbc on the focusrite would really work best but nope. At least not in my case.
Hey there. So I’ve only just got an iPad Pro with USB-C so still experimenting but found similar things with converting USB-C to A working best.
What is the program you’re using on both your videos on the interfaces? Looks like a couple of different ones. Excellent videos by the way. Just purchased 2i2 for use with computer, but would love to iPad or iPhone it! Thank you! USB powered hub and camera to usb 3 on way!👍
Hey Michael. I can’t actually recall what I was showing. Probably GarageBand iOS and maybe AudioShare? They’re my go-to.
Hey Pete, hope you can help. I have an I track solo which I use on my iPad and iPhone. Is there a way to change the second input to line level so I can play backing tracks through the audio interface? Or is it just set to instrument level and I’m stuck with that?
Many thanks
Hey there. Not super familiar with this interface sorry! Probably doesn’t support line level through if it’s a standard XLR/1/4” interface. Maybe ask over at the GarageBand Users Facebook group - studiolivetoday.com/gbu
Whoa!. I thought this was going to be another one of those videos that does’nt fix the problem. Happy to report that I am now using the Scarlet Focusrite 2i2 interfaced with a really old iPad Pro and an exteranllly powered USB hub and the lighting in to USB connector. The thing is that this worked fine with just the lighting to usb camera adaptor and i would always connect power to the adaptor. Somehow my iPad updated to 16 version and this stopped working.
Thanks for this. I have to manage more devices now but at least it works on the iPad like before.
Appreciate the effort put in!
Yup, unfortunately updates can change up things they really shouldn't - like hardware! Glad to hear it helped.
Can confirm! I run my XLR Mic into my iPhone 11/iPad 7th Gen daily using the Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen 3, using this Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.
👍🙏🤘
Pete do you have to use garage band to get the audio monitoring when plugging in the focus rite Scarlett, USB powered hub and the usb3 lightening adapter?
Hey there. Any app which has a “monitor” feature will work, but standard apps like the camera app won’t actually playback live audio.
Thank you! Super helpful
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Hi Pete, do you notice any latency difference if using power hub on focusrite vs steinberg with separate power? Thanks.
Latency seems about the same. I tend to have slightly better experience with Steinberg.
Thanks Pete. So informative.
👍🙏😎
Awesome tips pete! I love using garageband and IK Multimedia Amplitube. With that, Just out of curiosity, is it possible with Amplitube app, can it be use with any Audio Interfaces such as FocusRite models, etc besides iRig product?
Yup. Amplitude is just accepting whatever audio input is coming in to your iPad/iPhone. So any interface can be used with any app.
Thank you soooooo very much this information and video was extremely helpful, you gained a subscriber!
Awesome! Welcome to the community.
Thanks this is really helpful, also works for DACs.
Nice.
Hi Pete, thanks for you vid! I am trying to connect my iphone to my scarlet 2i2 (2nd gen) with a pair of focal alpha 60 monitor speakers. I have the USB hub set up exactly as you do in this video but I am still getting odd flashes of power from the interface. Do you have any suggestions?! Thanks!
Hmmmm..... are you using a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter? This video has some tips that may help. ua-cam.com/video/gwNqV1W3fPU/v-deo.html
Thanks for another great video Pete. Do you ever have issues with lag when using interfaces. I could only use wireless headphones (it would not work with my wire headphones that connect to my phone) would purchasing headphones that connect interface solve the issue?
Hey there. Yes, connect up headphones directly to the interface and you should get the beta audio playback. There is always some latency, it with something like the Steinberg UR22C you can mix in the direct signal for latency free monitoring.
Pete Johns thanks will go and purchase some headphones for it now. Looking forward to your new music
Thanks Pete, that’s got me up and running again 👍
Awesome. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Thanks! Super helpful!
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Thanks Pete I’m going to try these suggestions. Fingers crossed 🤞
Best of luck!
@Pete Johns - Studio Live Today Got the Focusrite and the Atolla hub. Set up runs great. My mic now sounds amazing with phantom power. Thanks again for the video Pete.
Hey Pete will this work with the standard usb dongle (the single usb camera dongle) if you have the usb hub?
Hey there. I recommend the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter for better reliability and to ensure everything can be powered, but the standard adapter can work too for most gear.
Great video which allowed me to connect my Focusrite S2i2 to my iPhone. However, I upgraded to iOS15 and now when connecting the cable the phone doesn’t pick up the interface or show the usual connection message… can anything be done? Or have to wait for an iOS update / bug fix?
Hey there. Yes this is a common issue and apparently there is a fix that will help that another user told me about. I’ll paste the info here too but also recommend joining to Create Record Release Facebook group. createrecordreleaae.com
Focusrite Scarlett + iOS 15 issue:
I had a very helpful viewer Glenn provide this information from Focusrite showing how to change the Scarlett interface from MSD (Mass Storage Device) mode which is causing issues for many mobile creators. Hope it helps others.
Here's how you can manually remove the Scarlett from MSD Mode:
1. Power unit up like normal by plugging a USB cable into the iPad
2. Unplug the USB cable
3. Hold down 48V and again plug in the USB cable whilst continuing to hold down the 48V button for 10 seconds
4. After 10 seconds unplug the USB cable again
5. Plug the cable back in one more time and you’re good to go
Very helpful. Thank you. Had a panic attack when my interface stopped working. I have Behringer UMC22 and I got it working then it stopped and just blinks. Just ordered the powered hub through the link! Thanks Pete!
Nice one. Hope it works out for you. Http://studiolivetoday.com/usb
Got this on my ipad but does not blink on the pc. Unfortunately i cant connect to the internet to download the drivers...
Thank you for sharing this video :) it helps a lot cheers!
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Hello Pete,
Quick question, So I have purchased all of the items you have recommended. For some off reason everything lights up but my microphone still not working. I’m very lost at this point. I’m wondering can it be the microphone. It’s fairly new still I’ve had it about a year and only used it 10 time maybe 🤔. I wanted to send a pic to display my situation but I don’t know how to do that in the comments lol. Anyways if you have any other tricks and tip on this subject let me know. Thanks 😊
Hey there. Usually comes down to the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter or a power issue. I would ask the good folks over at the Create Record Release or GarageBand Users Facebook groups. Http://createrecordreleaae.com
Hi Pete love the videos 👍 can I just ask something. I use the official lightning apple cable I use a focusrite 4i4 and a powered usb hub. I usually have the hub plugged in to power. However it often just doesn’t come on at all or it will cut out half way through tracking. The plug provides 5w of power to the usb hub. Could the reason be that the focusrite needs more than 5w and that’s why it cuts out? Any suggestions !? I’ve not bought a portable battery power as there quite expensive would this be something you recommend?
When I also connect a charging port to the usb hub to try and power the iPad that also doesn’t work. Could it be the actual usb hub is the problem ? Or possibly the plug I just don’t know
Hey there. Check out this video where I go through some troubleshooting tips. ua-cam.com/video/gwNqV1W3fPU/v-deo.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic this is the video I commented on mate ! I’ve watched it and still bumped into the Same problems as I mentioned above
Hey Pete, what do you think of the Itrack solo to record music? I've been looking at interfaces that support both IOS and PC. The Itrack seems cool but it's just kind of old and I haven't seen any newer reviews on it. Also though, I've seen the Motu M2 which has been getting a lot of good reviews recently, though, If I got that I would need to purchases USB Hub and the camera adaptor, setting me back quite a back money wise.
Also, if you're wondering I have checked out the Irig pro, but it seems that there's a ton of variety in reviews, like it's either really good, or really bad. So I'm not sure how good the quality control is
I guess the Itrack solo is cheaper since it came out in like 2012
I’ve always been intrigued guy Ed by the iTrack Solo but you’re right that it’s an olde device. So old in fact that the original version came with a 30 pin cable. So definitely check that if you’re buying one second hand!
From what I’ve heard, the preamp is lifted straight from the 1st gen Scarlett series so you’ll get decent quality. I juts keep coming back to Stienberg for those nice quiet Yamaha D-Pre preamps, and solid A/D converters. Plus the power switching option is so handy.
And don’t forget that once you have a powered hub you can swap in and out USB drives, mice, MIDI keyboards and any other USB devices.
@@PeteJohnsMusic I see, thanks! How do you feel about the Motu m2 and m4 though?
Hello Pete, thanks for the very useful video tutorial.
I have a doubt, I was able to record video and audio (with condenser mic) using my iPhone SE 2020 and focusrite solo successfully but I noticed that when I play the video connected to my monitor speakers only one channel can be hear (mono, per say). Is there any way to correct this?
Hey there. You would need to mix this back to both left and eight channels in editing. I use LumaFusion for this when it comes to video, and AudioShare for audio. You basically take the audio which is all on one side and make it mono so the same is on both sides
@@PeteJohnsMusic sounds good, I appreciate the thorough explanation. Thanks again Pete!
Great video, I took your advice and bought all the requisite cables and even a new Scarlett, but my iPad simply doesn't recognize any new external mic. Is there some setting in the iPad I have to change to get it to recognize the new setup?
Hey there. Sorry to hear you’re having issues. You definitely have the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter? That’s the most common cause of issues. Otherwise I would provide more info over at the GarageBand Users Facebook group and get some help there. studiolivetoday.com/gbu
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thanks, I posted a request to join. I appreciate the immediate reply and help. It's so frustrating. Also, yes, It is a genuine Apple product, and a brand new Scarlett solo.
Hi - thank you for this video. I have the focusrite 2i2 with 2 input channels. I am able to record my voice in ipad when using my XLR dynamic mic connected to 1st input channel. However, when I try to connect the same XLR dynamic mic to the 2nd input channel then nothing gets recorded in my ipad. I mean I can see that the green lights fluctuate in focusrite 2i2 for the 2nd input channel when I say something but sound is getting in ipad/iOS. Does that mean iOS devices allows input from only the 1st channel and not 2nd?
Hey there. Make sure you’ve-set the input to input 2, and check the settings to ensure that you don’t have it set to line level instead of mic level. More info at studiolivetoday.com
Hi Pete. I just received the UR22C with my SM58. I hooked it all up to my iPad Pro 2018. Newb question. When I record I only get audio from the left speaker when I try it with the voice memos app or GarageBand or voiceover in LumaFusion. I’d like to get stereo. What am I doing wrong?
Hey there. So the two channels basically represent left and right in standard apps. GarageBand you can just select “channel 1” and it will give you mono sound (so in both speakers).
For LumaFusion, there is an option in the audio track to “film from left” for just these situations which will copy the audio across both tracks.
Hi Peter
I have been following your channel for few years and it's really great.
I need your feedback regarding using the LIGHTNING TO USB 3 adapter (apple product).
When I connect my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen to iPad never worked.
Software running currently: 12.5.2
iPad air
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Hey there. Are you using a powered USB hub along with the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter? Focusrite interfaces need a decent and constant power supply so this is the most common issue. More info is here - studiolivetoday.com/usb
Hi Pete, Thank you for videos that you have been making. I just bought the Ipad pro 2020 having usb-c connection. What would be my options to replace lightening camera connection dongle with the compatible dongle that supports to usb-c to audio interface?
Hi there. The good news is that you can use any USB-C hub or dock as it is a standard connection type. 👍
@@PeteJohnsMusic Got it no dongles required. Thank you Pete.
Hi, I’m having issues stemming from purchasing a Focusrite 4i4 to interface with my I pad pro 2020. I was hoping I’d finally found the solution because I also have the magic keyboard but I’m still not able to even download the drivers and software. Would a powered USB-C hub be the ticket? I realized after it was too late that I should have purchased the 2i2. Thanks in advance.
Many thanks, this is big help. I face the same (underpower) problem with Behringer UMC22 with iPhone 11. Previously i used BandLab Analog mini to record my instrument ( bass) to GarageBand, but planning to record voice too i then bought the adapter in order to use the AI. So now i need to add USB powered hub.
I would Aways recommend a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter and a powered USB hub. Having these two pieces of gear will have you covered for anything you throw at your device.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thank you Pete, I have purchased the genuine Apple adapter & it works flawlessly in the setup. The only thing to workout now is my playing...haha.. recording to GarageBand thru AI has revealed how sloppy my playing is...
Hi Pete....Re Tendak powered USB hub.....are there different brands out there like this you can recommend. Thank you!
Hey there. Yes, Atolla make good stuff and they are linked in my gear guide. studiolivetoday.com/gear.
Anker or Aukru are also good.
Thought I was getting a deal on a good priced older m audio midi from 2012, but I ran into the exact issue with my new iPad not connecting. Same thing happening with my old presonus interface. Works nicely with my desktop however. Thanks for the video!
Very welcome my friend. Al my other gear advice and recommendations are here. studiolivetoday.com/gear
@@PeteJohnsMusic I actually fixed it! My old m-audio works with the ipad, it was the cord that was the issue, just used my newer USB cable from my Alesis midi and it works
Awesome video here! I wonder, I'm only getting audio through the first channel of my 2i2 3rd gen Focusrite. Doesn't matter what it is - tried both XLR and 1/4" and the first input works perfectly, just no sound through the second even though level shows up on the physical interface. Thought it was a routing issue, but not sure if it's just that I need a powered USB port. Any feedback is appreciated!
Hey there my friend. What software are you using to record? You’ll usually need to set the input to input 2 as things like GarageBand will default to input 1. Maybe ask over at the GarageBand Users Facebook group if you need some more advice. studiolivetoday.com/gbu
@@PeteJohnsMusic so I’m actually just recording into my camera. No software being used at all. Trying to get high quality audio into the videos recorded on my iPhone
Great video thank you
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Hello, thank you for the informative video. What changes the setup at 8:49 in the video? Immediately before that, the behringer does not look like it has enough power (it is flashing)...and at 8:49 it appears solid. I'm trying to get a Behringer UMC404HD working with an iPad right now.
Hey there. So generally you need to make sure you have the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter and either some power going in the Lightning port, or a powered USB hub. studiolivetoday.com/usb
@@PeteJohnsMusic I understand that...yesterday afternoon I did pick up a powered hub and got my interface to work, so thanks again!
But at 8:48, the power on the behringer is flickering. At 8:49, it isn't. Just trying to understand what changed in the wiring at that point, but it doesn't look like anything changed.
Hi Pete,i love you're videos, you're the best!! I've just got one question, witch power plug do you use to power the powerd hub?? I'm still having a lot of issues connecting my behringer u-phoria umc22hd to my ipad 4 generation... any recommendations? Thank's man!
Would a wall adapter 12/4A 48w power all?
Hey there. I plug mine in directly to A/C power. I also sometimes use a portable battery as anything that can send the 5v DC current will work. This video might help. ua-cam.com/video/k2LpLjHnKGw/v-deo.html
Thank's again, I'll keep trying...👍
Yesss,got it working!!!the order of the connections seems the problem...like you said in your video.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, thank you, thank you. 1st gen ipad pro and focusrite 2i2 works with powered hub.
Nice one! I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Great comprehensive video. Should help answer a ton of repeat questions on this.
(@Pete - Have a look at Shortkeys for Windows (or Autohotkey if you're familiar with programming). You can use it to make text replace when you're doing live streams so that for example, if you say #usb, it will replace it with the link to this video.
# SEONN very cool, man!
Thank you! I’ve been looking for a good text replacement app. I used hot key apps all the time back in the Windows 95 and 98 days but haven’t found a good one for Windows 10.
So I’ve a beringher 4 channel(newer) powered interface out usb to powered hub t apple adapter into new iPhone and it only records one channel when recording video...any thoughts. Thanks mate p.s on my iPad with same set up all 4 channels are picked up.
Hey there. Yes, this is the problem with audio interfaces. The only way to manage this is to edit afterwards or use some sort of software solution to make the audio mono. Otherwise it will put a channel on the left or right.
Excellent, thanks
🤘😎
Thanks Pete. I’ve a bad metallic noise when I record or do monitoring. I use ur22 mk2 and an iPad Pro. No problem when using the ur22 mk2 with my MacBook Pro. Do you have an idea ? I think about a 48kHz or 44.1kHz configuration problem...
Hmmmm..... that’s odd? I use a UR12 and UR22C with my iPhone and iPads and haven’t experienced this. It should just default to 44.1kHz. Have you tried in different apps?
I have the same issue with the same interface on my iPhone 11
i have the same problem here! please let us know how to fix this static hiss..
Hi Pete. I’m struggling with my Rode condenser microphone and the interface i have to connect to my laptop. I have no sound so I’m wondering if I need a phantom power box. What would you recommend. It would be extremely helpful. Or perhaps I even have the wrong interface
Hey there. Depends on the exact mic you're using and whether it is USB or you're using an audio interface. My gear guide here has info - studiolivetoday.com/gear. Or feel free to reach out to me via email if you need more assistance. pete@studiolivetoday.com

I've enjoyed and learned from your videos. do you have any info/experience with the Yamaha AG 06 mixer/audio interface? I've been
having some problems getting it to work with my IPAD. also, do you have any tips for using this mixer with FaceTime or Zoom?
Hey there. I haven’t used the AG series sorry. What’s actually happening and not working? Seems quite straightforward from the videos I’ve seen - ua-cam.com/video/rn2LrVPJHTs/v-deo.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic thanks for your reply, Pete. I think my problems arise from the 5 volt power supply I've been trying to use. I will have to go back and see if I can find a more robust unit than the one I have. I get the flickering light on the power indicator and none of eq or effects seem to work, plus my ipad doesn't seem to recognize it.
@@toddswenson4915 hi Todd , I have same problem using my iPad with my Yamaha ag03....did you manage to the problem ? Thanks jon very frustrated in cold rainy Essex
@@jonmurfin6443 jon, my problem was specifically trying to use the AG06 with FaceTime on an IPad. It turned out that there was no possibility to use it for that purpose. FaceTime doesn’t allow for any other mic besides the one in the IPad, as far as I know. As far as external power, I did find a 5 volt adapter that works well. Good luck with yours. I have definitely gotten my money’s worth out of my AG06.
@@toddswenson4915 aww thanks , really appreciate you getting back to me , glad you got yours sorted yes I’m pleased with my ago3 ...spose I better find a good 5 volt thingy then cheers
Hello sir great video. How can I monitor through the extra lightning port on the camera adapter? I want to be able to hear my USB keyboard alongside my backing track live in GarageBand on my iPhone. This used to work but they changed something. I’ve tried everything in the video and whenever I plug-in my headphones or speaker (with aux to lightning converter) it simply says accessory not supported
Hey there. You would need a device like the one I show in this one as the additional Lightning port is power only. ua-cam.com/video/wpu9EOTyur4/v-deo.html
Pete Johns thanks man I will try that. Just ordered
Can UR44C be used to connect ipad pro with electric piano korg D1 and speaker JBL 305p to make the sound source for playing ipad pro sound out of the speaker?
If your keyboard has stereo line outputs and the speakers have line inputs then you would be fine. Or you could use MIDI and a software instrument. This video has more info. ua-cam.com/video/Dbz8sxuy5X0/v-deo.html

I have an ipad mini 4, my audio interface is a Nux Mightyplug Pro for electric guitar. I have a single cable with no adapters, directly from the inteface (usb c) to lighting to the ipad. My ipad doesn't recognize the interface... do i have to get that usb/lighting adapter? The cable USB-C to Lighting won't work? Thank you!
Yeah. So sometimes it’s a power issue or the need to create a USB bridge. So a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter is the best bet. studiolivetoday.com/gear
@@PeteJohnsMusic i bought a cheap adapter from amazon and it worked. But i got a lot of noise coming from the interface, probably because it's not a real Apple adapter?
Thanks!
Working :)
Awesome! I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
I’m using a behringer UM2 and it’s not getting powered up once I’ve plugged everything in using all hardware you’ve suggested, any idea why it may not be working? Thanks
Hi there. I responded on the other video. Check that you’re using a genuine adapter and a powered hub that is providing enough power.
Hey man. Im having a hard time finding good review of Roland Rubix 44. It has a built in compressor/limiter, which is a big interest for ease of use for me. Is there a reason why you/others dont have this device on their go to list? Can you review it?
Hey there. I haven't used much Roland gear to be honest. It just comes down to not being able to buy and review everything unfortunately. I do have a Roland GO Mixer Pro on the way, but nothing else from Roland sorry.
Pete Johns Alright, well, it was good to ask. Thanks for responding. Im curious how that rubix 44 compares to others, but your a busy guy so I will continue searching. Take care.
Hi Pete
I subscribe to your YT channel and find your videos very useful, thanks a lot.
I just purchased a Steinberg UR12 to use with my 2020 iPad. It plugs in and powers up fine, using a powered USB port, and I get a clean guitar sound in Garageband. However, I can’t hear the sounds normally available through the Amps section, or via the Amplitube Mesa Boogie, which I can hear using my iRig 2.
I could of course (and will in due course) download the provided Cubasis LE app, but I would first like to maximise the potential of Garageband. You may have dealt with my issue in one of your videos, either way would you be able to kindly assist me?
Many thanks in advance
Hey there. Sounds like a monitoring issue? You may have the “direct monitoring” on, meaning you’re only hearing the direct sound and not the processed GarageBand sound coming through. Let me know if this helps. Also suggest joining and engaging on the GarageBand Users Facebook group.
I have an ipad mini 4. Do you think it will work on scarlett 2i2 without a usb hub?
Probably not. A powered USB hub would be a good idea. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Great video. Why my audio recorded on scarllet 212 is being recorded mono?
If you’re connecting a stereo audio source you would need to connect up to both the left and right channel with two separate cables. This video shows you how this all works. ua-cam.com/video/Dbz8sxuy5X0/v-deo.html
Will a native union powered hub work? Does the powered hub have to transfer data or just be powerful enough to run the Scarlett 2i4 in my case. It won’t work with a high powered wall wort.
It’s a little hit and miss so you generally just need to try.
@@PeteJohnsMusic I guess I’ll just get the hub you listed to be safe. Although the native union one is pretty inexpensive and nice looking. Oh well. Rather have it work than look cool
@@PeteJohnsMusic Welp, no..doesn’t work. Either did a powered data transfer hub. Sucks. I have a Scarlett I can’t use. Goin on reverb,I guess🤷♂️
Good presentation !
I want to connect my Yamaha PSR S 970 keyboard as midi input and M audio interface connected to studio monitors ,as sound output to my iPad Air 4 in which sound samples are there in virtual key board
Please suggest how to do this and what equipment’s are required
Hey there. Not quite sure exactly whether you’re looking to sample the keyboard or use the W keyboard to trigger MIDI? Maybe provide some more info and ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group. You may also want to check out me gear guide here - studiolivetoday.com/gear and cable guide here. studiolivetoday.com/cables
@@PeteJohnsMusic
Thanks for response Pete !
Actually I want to send midi signals from my Yamaha PSR S 970 to ORG 2022 installed on my iPad Air 4
Means I shall press keys on my Yamaha and this should trigger keys of virtual keyboard in ORG 2022 .
The sound will be fetched from ORG 2022 and sent to M Audio interface and then to STUDIO monitor .
I want this arrangement for better quality of sound in live playing .
Hope I am clear !
Hi sir. Question. I have a prob with my interface. Everytime i use my interface with my camera app on my iphone, i have to do a work around for the phone to capture the audio that’s coming from my interface. Have you encounter this on the interfaces you have? The thing is, the developer said it’s the way the iphone camera was made that’s why i have to do a work around. But on my previous interface, it will work just fine. Thanks and keep it up :)
Yeah, o have heard that some interfaces and adapters cause this problem. I haven’t had any issues with my interfaces like this?
Pete Johns oh well, good for you. I just hope they’ll eventually look into these kinds of bugs. Thank you again. I was able to learn and get ideas from you to make my mobile setup better :)
hello! instead of the adapter for the iPhone, do you have a link for Android? That it comes with the DAC Chip and is compatible with the Samsung A54 5g?
Pretty much any USB-C adapter of USB-C audio interface will work for you here.
Thanks for the video. I’m using a Behringer U-PHORIA UMC202HD but I’m struggling to get the monitoring to work. If I play, for example, a UA-cam video, my iPad will send the audio to the headphone out on the audio interface. However, I can’t work out how to get GarageBand or any other app to do the same. My iPad is the Air 4, so it doesn’t have a headphone socket of it’s own, and it uses USB rather than lightning, but I’m using the official Apple dongle and powering it with the power brick that came with the iPad. Any pointers?
You should be able to just connect headphones to the headphone jack on the audio interface. Then set the monitoring in GarageBand or other software and you should get playback of audio. If you’re having issues, provide some more info and ask over at the GarageBand Users Facebook group - studiolivetoday.com/gbu
@@PeteJohnsMusic Hi Pete, thanks for the reply. It _should_ work is about where I’m at. Oh well. It’s not a disaster that I can’t hear the monitor audio, it’s just a bit annoying. Thank’s for the suggestion of the Facebook group.
I had this set up working perfectly with my iPad Pro gen 1. But now I have a new iPad w/ USBC and I got an adapter to linke lightning to usb-c but it says not supported. Is it because there’s not enough power from the USP powered Tendak/atolla hub?
That’s odd? Make sure your USB-C adapter has power pass-through. I show some options here. ua-cam.com/video/3Zyb1ISy3wk/v-deo.htmlsi=H88NEiZvxkrWC3s-
God bless you mate!
Thanks my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Thanks! The powered USB Hub worked for me. :-)
Awesome!! I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
hi. the usb charger transmit data o only power supplie. need both? regards
Hi there. You need a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter and for some interfaces the powered hub alsoz
Hi Pete.
Very helpful video. I was unable to power my Scarlett 2i2 interface connected to my 7th. gen iPad using an authorized Apple camera connection adaptor with my iPad charger plugged in as well. It appears that the lightning charger cable does nothing for the interface just charges the iPad.
Can you confirm this?
I can get my Scarlett operating if I plug into a powered usb hub like you demonstrated.
So in reality, one could just purchase a cheaper camera connection kit without the lightning charger addition and go straight into the powered hub if you didn’t care about charging your device.
Can you confirm this?
Have you learned if a certain model iPad can power up a Scarlett 2i2 with out using outside power? You kind of alluded to that in your presentation.
When I tried it without the powered usb hub at first, I too just got a dim flash of the gain halos and a dim light of the 48 phantom power indicator.
The funny part of this is that some videos in YT show the Scarlett connecting to an iPad just using the camera connection kit with the lightning power adaptor.
Love your videos Pete, have been watching for a while now. Keep it up man!
Hey there. This web link on my site might help with these questions. A powered USB hub is pretty essential for most non-Steinberg interfaces. You do however also need a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter or at least the genuine Apple version without the Lightning power port. The important part is that it is genuine Apple as I explain in this one / ua-cam.com/video/qt6ZczdUdV4/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video sir.. Can I use a Scarlet 2i4 with an IOS?
Yes, most of the Scarlett series interfaces are class compliant, however will need a powered USB to operate as I show in this video - ua-cam.com/video/gwNqV1W3fPU/v-deo.html
please, the iPhone lightning to usb doesn’t ship to Nigeria. How can I get it? I seriously do need help on that sir.
Hi peter also Muto m2 will sport GarageBand program ? Because im planning to get it
Hey there. I haven’t personally used it but yes I have heard from others that it works and is class compliant.
@@PeteJohnsMusic thanks very much peter, im already subscribe you
Hi pete, i have steinberg ur22c and plung the 5v input into 5v 2A Power bank source and the usb light on ur22c is only blinking, also have tried to plug into phone charger power source and still same. Do i need to have that power usb hub?
Hey there. Are you using a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter? Often this is the issue. More details here. studiolivetoday.com/usb
@@PeteJohnsMusic ho pete, yes the cable from original iphone14 is already tipeC to Lightning, so i connect the iphone to the port C on UR22C, and also for the power supply, i take the power input option from 5v dc. But the led of the audio onterface only blinking
So even if i have power to the interface but recording comes through average.. should i still get the usb powerbank to have the extra power support directly to the phone to make the recording quality better
Hey there. Recording quality won’t really be impacted. If it works, it works. But if you’re having any drop outs a powered USB hub is a good idea.
JUST, THANKS!
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Hi Pete, If you have an iPad Pro with USB - C connection and magic keyboard, the camera adapter is not needed. Simply connect Focusrite via a small USB C to USB adapter [ a couple of bucks] to the iPad Pro and then the charging cable to the separate input in the keyboard. It’s good to go. Works every time.
Thanks for all your brilliant videos.
Yup. I’m covering exactly this on the he channel this week now that I have a USB-C iPad Pro. Thanks for your support!
Hiii help buddy! I use Focusrite 2i2 to connect with my iPhone’s camera. But all audio only comes out from the left side of my speakers or headphone. How to fix this? Pleaseeee I really need help. Thank you soooo much
Yup. All two channel interfaces work this way. You’ll need to record and then adjust in editing by converting from stereo to mono.
I have a question, so I have a THX onyx dac that requires me to hook up the lightning to USB connector as in this video when I’m using the USB a to USB c adapter, there seems to be a connection, fault, or something between the USB a connector and the USB-C connector. How can I fix this because it keeps disconnecting the deck from my phone and I have to constantly unplug it and plug it back in to see if it’ll connect and even then sometimes that doesn’t work.
Hmmmm…. Weird one? Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.
How about an older Yamaha DTX502Touch 502 digital drum set… can I plug it into the behringer with the usb hub can I hear my kit thru the iPad?
If you push it out via stereo outputs you can / ua-cam.com/video/Dbz8sxuy5X0/v-deo.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic So can I just go with 2 mono 1/4” cables from my DTX out into my behringer inputs? Thank you so much for your info you’re a lifesaver!!
Hi Pete, I wonder if you could help me please?! I've been using my Alesis io2 with the Apple Lightning USB 3 adapter to do Live Streams on Facebook with my ipad for months now. On Friday I did my soundcheck before going Live only to find that the ipad was no longer taking sound from the Audio Interface. I can open Garageband on the ipad and that all works fine taking audio from the interface but every time i try to go live on facebook it's clearly just the sound from the ipad's internal mic. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm wondering if Facebook have maybe changed settings that can't be altered.
Hey there. You are actually the second person who has reported this issue so h Facebook on iOS to me so I’m thinking it’s a Facebook app issue. I use StreamYard to stream to Facebook so haven’t experienced it personally. Maybe try that or something like StreamLabs? Bummer if Facebook won’t support USB audio anymore though!!
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thanks for your reply, Pete. I actually figured it out yesterday for anyone else who might be interested or asks you... Basically it must be a Facebook update glitch but the solution is to start your Live Stream and then unplug and plug back in your interface to the ipad. You have to already be Live as you do it.
Can I use the adapter between a bending ed x32 digital mixer and garage band on iphone? Thanks in advance
* behringer x 32
If it is a class compliant device (doesn’t require a driver) then yes. More info here. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Hi Pete: I have a problem connecting my electric guitar to my iPad Pro via a USB-C hub and a IK Multimedia iRig HD audio interface. It has worked fina up until recently when I upgraded to iOS 15 on my iPad. Everytime I connect an 3.5 mm audiocable to my USB-C hub the iRig HD disconnects. I have tried different USB-C hubs and different audiocables and headphones. Do you have any idea what has happened? I have used this setup for about a year, working just fine. I don´t know if it is the HUB, the iRig HD which no longer i supported in iOS 15 or if its a setting in iOS 15 i have to adjust. Its the same problem in both Amplitube and Garageband.
Hey there. Are you sure the audio is not being output via the headphone jack on the iRig? If your hub has a sound card built in it may be overriding the audio interface on the iRig. studiolivetoday.com/usb
@@PeteJohnsMusic There is no headphone jack on the iRigHD, only on the iRigHD2.
Heads up the included Focusrite USB-C cable didn't supply enough power for my iPhone 12 but my thicker Nintendo USB-C cable works! 😀
Yeah right?! All cables are not created equal! Thanks for the heads up.
Hi Pete!
I tried to connect my Go Mixer to AUM to my iPad Air 2 trough Lighting port. Go Mixer receive power, detected in AUM, but there is no sound. Maybe you have some idea why?
Thanks.
Nothing immediately that comes to mind? Make sure monitoring is on and you have gain dialled your on the channel and master.
I will try. Thank you!
Also does the usb hub plug directly into the wall or do you need a power adapter?
You will need just any standard USB power adapter.
Thanks Pete also do I need the irig to use the interface with my iPad?
My scarlet was working great being powered by ipad now it drops out saying not enough power even when the charger is plugged in. Is that because I try to use a mic as well?
A powered hub is a great investment. Will fix any power issues.
I am using a BOss BR-800 sir, and its not working on my Iphone 6 Plus, any suggestions? Am using the 3.0 genuine Usb cable. Do u think my interface is the problem sir?
Hey there. Not familiar with this interface sorry? Perhaps it is not class compliant and therefore compatible? ua-cam.com/video/K95B2-KfMak/v-deo.html
Hi Pete, I really love garageband. I also love acoustic guitar, unfortunately I can't find the best way to strumming the guitar on garageband.
It's so wierd compare to real acoustic guitar physically, do you have the best way to strumming with garageband. Thanks
Hi there. The virtual guitar? Yes, it’s not the greatest sound when trying if it strum is it? I tend to use a real guitar or guitar loops.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Any recommendation for the acoustic guitar that have the jack line and works for garageband?
There are so many options for acoustic guitars. I use, and love, my Taylor 110e. There’s a link to it over on my gear guide at studiolivetoday.com/gear
I’ve had the exact opposite issue. Scarlett 2i4 works with Apple camera adapter 3 but when hooked up to powered hub it won’t keep powered when phantom power is engaged. Clicks on and off.
Update. Brand new powered usb hub was defective so when attached to hub power wasn’t being distributed properly. With new powered usb hub everything works as described in this video. Cheers!
Pete! I have a 3rd gen scarlet solo and it wont work with my 2018 iPad Pro!!!! I don’t get whats going on. The Web says that its MSD mode and that to get it out of MSD, I have to hold the 48V button for 5 seconds, but that still hasn’t worked!!!
Hmmmm.... don’t have the Scarlett so not sure about this sorry? Maybe ask over at the GarageBand Users Facebook group? studiolivetoday.com/gbu
Hello! Hoping for your reply :((((. I am using iRig adaptor for my iphone. But it doesn't work. Whenever I connect the iRig, ithe iphone only gets the audio on its built in mic and not with the iRig. Hoping for you answer :(((
That’s odd?! Headphone jack or Lightning port? It should definitely override the built in audio - ua-cam.com/video/KL7dlCqYxic/v-deo.html
