✋ High five if you've made it this far! There can be a lot of text to wade through in these descriptions!

Garage Band is lowkey more advanced than people may think

With the iPad Pro 2018 and 2020, you don't need a powered USB hub. You can just take a USB-A to USB-C converter for the audio interface cable, it will get power directly from the iPad.

He: I'm not gonna do an in-depth tutorial of garage band


also him: proceed to make the best garage band tutorial on the internet

[steviebeez]

Seriously, thank you so much for this! I’m going to build my own little iPad based recording studio based on your tutorial! Wahoo!

[Samlol_drrich]

Great job. Now all I need is an iPad, audio interface and microphone and I’m all set!

[laurielyon]

Well done! Nice presentation.
I play clarinet and use Band In A Box for my backing tracks. Easy peasy!
I have found Garage Band ( for my non-techie brain) to be just slightly less confusing than Hawking’s ‘A Brief History of Time’.
But I would like to record directly to my computer etc, so your tutorial was instructive.
Thank you!

Plain and simple, a good presentation. Appreciated 👍🏽🇦🇺

[liamcalhoun]

Will this work for a condenser RODE microphone. I’ve been trying it with my IPAD but it isn’t picking up my sound. Phantom power?

[Gshadow]

I currently have my iPad Air 2, my Scarlett Audio Interface 2i2, and my Rode NT1-A microphone. So I should have no problems here. 👍🏾🎙❤️

[freddylopez]

Great presentation and very helpful in all respects. I dig GB, people have to put in the back of the room but its a very powerful tool. Yes ableton is cool but snobbery usually comes from insecurities because it ain't the tool. It's the perception and skill that makes the music. Thank for your channel. I'm in. 🎶👍🏼

Hi I just bought a full setup: Rode Nt1a mic, scarlett 2i2, the adaptor to get it to plug into iphone, and I have a laptop or a usb mains outlet that I thought I could use - am I going to be needing a usb hub as well?
In fact I’m now very interested, what is the usb hub’s function? Your video is so so helpful btw, your brief help of GarageBand was really good too so if you do/ have an in-depth tutorial that’d be great

[ZackDavidMusic]

hey sorry if I missed it in the vid, but does this work in livestreaming platforms (IG, FB, YT) or just for designated audio programs such as GarageBand? Thank you!

[Swordplay]

Microphone is not working ...the I pad mic is still receiving the sound and not my external

[RickH]

Thanks, great info. I’ve got a Behringer U-Phoria 202HD that I had sitting around unused for a couple years or more, just hooked it up based on your video and it records to iPad beautifully 🎸👍🏻

[Kimahrey]

I've wanted an iPad for quite some time but always held back because (I thought) I'd still need a laptop for recording my voice over work and having both is too expensive. Thank you for informing me about this recording setup.

[garcia]

Can his be used for live streaming like the microphone with effects, Or this only works for recording.

[marklingad]

Will this work if I want to do facebook or IG live using my iPad or iPhone?

[ShotzTactical]

Great video!! Love the quality and professional delivery. very informative 💪🏽

[govindvaidya]

Very useful demo and thanks for your efforts .
Please tell me:
- the charging cable supplied with latest iPad Air4 (2020) has what type of USB on either end of cable,
- if it is USB-C on both ends, then can this cable work with a microphone having USB-C Port.
Thanks, pls do reply
Dilip

Can you help me, my iPad won’t charge at the same time as being plugged in with the interface ? It’s neither cables as both of them work When being plugged in individually. I am using the sabrent USB port you recommend. And the Apple official extension cable ? Any help would be appreciated. My charging wire is also Apple official. Could it be anything to do with the plug? I bought a universal power supply that supply’s the 5 Vaults required.
