A little trick if you have a multi channel interface and the camera connection kit you can do a screen recording with audio but you have to turn record mic in the screen record options OFF and then the screen recording will have the audio coming into your audio interface. Turning the mic off in the screen recording options turns the internal iPad mic off and lets the screen recording capture your audio interface, this is a little bit unintuitive at first but this does give you the ability to record the sound coming from apps like AUM or Cubasis.

This inspired me to get started with my new home studio: IPad 2018 + Cubasis + USB converter to lightning port + Focusrite Scarlett + condenser mic + different instruments

I have been toying on getting a focusrite for my iPad, and now after seeing your video, my mind is made up. Cheers bud. Also, you are costing me an arm and a leg hahaha a lot of synths you have reviewed I have bought. loopy pro, poison, sunriser, scaler to mention a few. Your channel is excellent sir!

[Ricardo-goyu]

Thanks !! That was easy to understand.

Beans most excellently chilled here, Doug. Stan is definitely the man for hooking you up with this Scarlett interface, so big thumbs up for you, Stan 😎👍. I opted for the 6i6 because in addition to midi, it also allows for optical input for an ART tube mic preamp and compressor I plan to use for vocals and acoustic guitar.

This demo is nice because you can really hear the difference between the Behringer Xenyx preamp vs the Scarlett when you switch your vocal mic. Subtle, perhaps, but the Focusrite just has more presence. Top job! 😊✌️

Thanks for this video!! I plan on getting this very focusrite on Friday, along with a powered usc hub.

[TozBourne]

Thanks to Stan! Exccellent demo, Doug, clear and concise. I’ve always heard good things about the Scarlet so, along with that simple USB hub the audio and MIDI connections are set up pretty easy and don’t take up much space!

[garudasomanna]

Though much of what you described 'went over my head', I have liked your approach to the subject and admire the dextrous manner in which you have used your left index finger to adjust various settings on the iPad.

[maidenthesla]

Thank you for providing we newbies the ways around this equipment and all.

I have a Scarlett 2i4 (1st Gen) connected to my Windows laptop for my DAW, AmpliTube 4, Sample Tank, Syntronik, and Korg M1. Due to this fine channel - "thesoundtestroom" - I now have an little collection of synthesizers on my iPad as well. Got to have the best of both worlds!

My next project is to buy the Apple camera connector in order to connect my Novation 49 to the iPad & 2i4 to record to my DAW/play through my audio system.

Fellow Ghost fan! I have to find a video using iPhone. I tried the connections you’re using, but it didn’t work. I eventually found out I had to buy a powered usb hub. Trying to find out where it goes in the power chain.

[michaelmattson]

Hello, I’m back to tell you it didn’t work but the beer was good. I have dingles dangles & dongles to no end . The iO Dock ll has a usb midi out, which I don’t understand its use. I’ll look it up later. I guess I’ll have to get the usb to 5 pin din port hub to work with the iO Dock ll midi in and another beer. Thanks again, Michael

its not working why? Scarlett solo usb: this accessory requires too much Power. :(

Edit: Problem solved. Get a Power-coupled USB Multiplexer.

[jakenote]

Thanks you for this incredible video, this work perfectly with my 4i4 and ma 6th generation iPad

[Heisdaone]

Great vid - is there a way to be on your GarageBand app ( mic) and use the cool effects on a live session ?
If so how do I put this together to live streaming?
Thank you

[alainhalimi]

Hi! can you give us a link to the asapter you are using in the video? Also what Ipad do you have? would an Ipad pro first generation good? I want to use it with an Ewi 4000s.what software in Ipad can have cc control attributed differently?
Thanks, I dont know another Ipad music production expert so I hope you know the answers :)

[amigopanamusic]

Thanks for this video.Can you connect some audio harmonizer here too?God bless sir.

[ArjunSharma-wijp]

I just love ur channel man ..making music on an I pad since 4 years now ...and ur channel helps me whenever I and tuck ....btw my I pad pro broke ..and I wanna geta new one ..shall I get an I pad air !! Or wait more ...

[slimbeaux]

Love my 2i2 and yeah, Stan, you're a big time good guy for supporting Doug like that. I am still always amazed how we can plug all that stuff in and it just works. Goes where it is supposed to go and everything. Plug in my Bonnie to the front, a pad controller to the hub, and a keyboard controller and make music. Cool Beans.

[HoseinKhosravi]

Thank you for this great Video. Can I also video record myself with iPhone or iPad, using a mic connected to my audio interface for great audio quality?

[brocklightning]

I just ordered this I had a the persons 96 audio box I didn’t have enough memory in my laptop and that didn’t work and I cannot get it to work with my iPad so I’m hoping this focusrite Scarlett works
