Ended up watching like 4 of your videos just because I wanted to know something, at the end, it was really interesting! I learned about powered USB Hubs and how to use a powerful headset on my iphone, keep the great work going!

There I was thinking I needed to buy a new USB keyboard controller until your video instructed me to dig out my powered USB hub! And then I learned I could hook up my USB audio interface at the same time! Now after spending less than $100 on apps and an hour of time I have a comparable recording system on my ipad to the one I had 10 years ago on a monster PC. Thank you Pete!

to think I was going to shell out $2, 000 for a macbook. Now I can spend a fraction of that on an ipad and still get the job done. Thanks for the videos!!

Thanks again for the quick response. I suppose for best results, is to record different tracks for different harmony parts. Your knowledge
of GarageBand and it’s functions are truly appreciated. Will be in touch

Finally a well made video with the exact explanations that are needed to connect and use everything.

Pete!!! You Are The Man!!! My 2009 MacBook Pro died but I have multiple iPads one of them being a multiple gig and I've been using them to record using a GuitarPort and an iPro. Many thanks to your video! I had a rope ready to end the tragedy but thanks to you I am recording easier than ever. Brilliant mate! Do you have any tips for and external video monitor for iOS using Apple TV or something? Any help would be appreciated. I hope you read this. I know it's an older video, but I've just recently become addicted to your channel. I would also like to say that you are a very proficient, captivating and endearing musician. I love your music! Please help with the video interface since I'm likely blind and bigger monitoring would be helpful. I love you Pete so much! Bless!

I really appreciate you getting back to me so quickly. It’s good to know there are people like you who stay loyal and on top of their game.
Thank you again for your time and info.

mindblowing, so it's technically possible to use a multitrack interface to record 8 separate channels on an ipad or iphone? you sir just earned a new follower.

I have a roland fp7 piano and have had no luck in connecting it to my Ipad Air 3rd generation. I used the lightning adapter, but it's not an original one, I also bought a midi cable to connect directly to my ipad and also no luck. I don't know if it's the cables or it's the devices which are incompatible. Your channel is incredibly helpful, by the way. I have learnt so much and have recorded two songs on the iPad, thanks to you. Hope I can connect my piano to my ipad someday

Hey, Pete! Amazing! Thinking back to my Tascam 4 track? I thought it was so amazing. But this? This is science fiction! Anyone with an iPhone can do this! This is what music is all about! It's so Punk rock! Thanks, for all you do, Pete! Have a wonderful holiday. Wishing you and yours the best of everything! 😊

Thanks for this video bro your GarageBand tutorials are the best in the web!!!

[johnhuron]

Very nice hardware explanation. A demo of actually transferring files from an iPad app, like Photos, to the hard drive, maybe using split screen, would’ve been nice.

[Yaboroqe]

Great VID, btw your singing voice is a mix of Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. Good day to you all.

[abhijitc]

Great video. Can you demonstrate how to edit the tracks on iPad after recording the piano to make it sound even better. That will be really helpful, Thanks.

[depto]

I really need to thank you for your videos Pete, months ago I was able to do my first gig just with this setup (plus a guitar) and it sounded great. Still coming back for useful info. Keep it up and cheers from Chile!

[ghosttjr]

What is the best powered hub in your opinion, since you use allot of different ones, thanks for uploading this!

[SilvesterKocherla]

Love your videos a lot Pete. They are very informative and educate me on how much more I can do with my iPhone and iPad as a musican. God Bless you, God Bless Stuido Live Today !!

[xenngonzales]

Thank you, very helpful videos for me wanting to start music production with just an ipad. Hope your channel grow much more!

[rafaeljr.navera]
