can i please ask, if i have a bluetooth wireless transmitter & receiver, is it possible to use just the transmitter (without using the receiver) and pair it to the phone since the phone has a bluetooth?
@@b1na276 Good question? I imagine it would depend on the transmitter and if it was a standard BlueTooth standard? Haven't tried anything like this persaonlly.
I came here to know an easy way to connect my guitar to ipad, but now I know everything about these connectors, thanks for you help pete, you are awesome!
I use a line 6 sonic port VX. You can use it to connect your guitar to your iPhone/iPad and use a host of amps cabs and effects. Plus it doubles as a condenser microphone to record vocals and acoustic guitars. It’s sounds great!
Thanks for recommending the usb3 adapter. You had recommended it in an earlier video and I bought it. I was using just the camera adapter for my keyboard and garageband sucked the battery up. I had also purchased the 29 watt usb3 power adapter and the 6 ft cable so my iPad pro stays fully charged. I use the power adapter when doing video editing, which also takes a lot of power.
Hi Pete, your usual excellent advice and nice fun delivery. Thanks. I'm a "1 year-old" in guitar learning terms and I got advice early on to record (audio +|- video) to chronicle my progress and to force me to take permonance details and timing into account. This is actually why I use GarageBand and how I found your excellent channel. Anyway, I started with an iRig2 for around 5 months. It was ok and easy to use, via the earphone plug on my iPad. But the recorded guitar sound was quite muddy, which is why I've tried to learn about mixing and such from your channel. It could be improved that way. I then bought the iRig HD2 for digital quality input. It is way better in my mind. Of course, I still add tone effects etc to my raw input, using ToneBridge, AmpliTube or GarageBand itself. But I feel that the quality of the raw digital signal is good enough for me. Check out my recordings on my "for fun and for the record" channel - th-cam.com/channels/4Xx5DNTkmRVwGObBapiP8w.html . I still have a lot to learn about playing, recording, mixing and especially mastering. But some of those you help me with a lot!!👍👏🎸😀 Thanks mate.
Thank you! Sorry for the delay. I wanted to get a chance to sit down and listen to your music. I love R.E.M. which is probably not a surprise if you've hear my music, so loved hearing your covers. This is by far the best way to learn - by capturing your journey so you can look back and see the improvement. Keep at it my friend!!
Hi Pete, thanks for taking the time to watch and listen. I'm honoured. If you can ever hear anything about the mixing that needs attention, please let me know as I am really clueless about what sounds right in mixing and mastering, especially around EQ.
Thanks so much for going over every option for recording! I'm getting ready to make an investment in my sound and I've been so nervous about making the right purchase. This gives me a lot of confidence!
Is it just the IRig or are all these interfaces limited in that I wouldn’t be able to plug into the iPad/iPhone and play the audio out of their speakers or to a Bluetooth speaker it’s connected to? That would make a very sweet portable setup.
Great video - any recommendation on how I can use audio from GarageBand when recording iPhone video? My signal looks like guitar > Focusrite Scarlett Solo > powered USB hub > Mac mini > Apple Camera Kit adapter > iPhone
Let's say you want to record yourself playing guitar to a backing track. Can one of these interfaces work like this: Guitar to pedalboard to modeling amp (which can get a bluetooth signal from baking track on a pc) and modeling amp into one of the interfaces described in the video into your iPhone...so that the sound is perfectly synched and recorded along with the video? Would seem like a super easy way to upload video with high quality sound.
Hey there. If you remove Bluetooth from the mix and have a mixer to connect your devices, then yes you can use this stereo audio as your camera audio. Bluetooth generates too much latency (lag, delay) to work when recording.
Great to hear! I didn’t price a gap in simple explanations of how to connect things to your iPhone/iPad which is why I started to his series of videos. Thanks for watching and hope you have a chance to check out the other content here on the channel.
Hi, thanks for the video! I'm thinking about getting an electric ukulele so I could start recording my songs on Garageband, however, I'm unsure if I could use the standard guitar instrument cables off of amazon to use to plug into a regular amp. Also, some of the links for the rig to lightening port don't work, I was wondering if you had any new products that you would suggest for being able to record directly from an electric ukulele to an iPad with both a lightening port and 3.5mm headphone jack with Garageband. Thank you so much again! Your videos have helped me a whole lot. :)
Hey there. My go to recommendation for quality and ease of use these days is the iRig Pro I/O which I have some videos about here - th-cam.com/video/jkAGVKOtguo/w-d-xo.html All my recommendations are also on my gear guide at studiolivetoday.com/gear
Does this video recommend gear for recording only, or making a video as well? In other words, can the iphone be used as both the audio and visual recorder? Or is that a whole different set of gear? Thanks.
Great video for my old iPad with the 3.5mm jack, but my newer iPhone doesn’t have the jack, and even the AirPods don’t work when I plug into the lightning socket. So I can play, but I can’t here what I am playing. :(
Does this information pretty much go with the iPhones with the lightning adapters. As you know, no more audio jacks. So I would be plugging my guitar cable into the quarter-inch adapter then the 3.5 audio into my iPhone dongle/adapter, into the phone lightning plug. Or does that still maybe/sorta/probably not be that great either? Just wondering. And if I did plug-in like that, could I model sounds and record right there in garage band? Thanks a bunch!!! 👍🏻☺️
Hey there. So, yes. You generally want to use a digital interface these days. The analog ones to work via a 3.5mm dongle but you end up with dongles plugged in to dongles that degrade the signal a lot. I would recommend something like the iRig HD or Pro series these days. th-cam.com/video/KL7dlCqYxic/w-d-xo.html
Hi Pete I have one of the original irig’s that you show here my issue is I can’t get any sound from it through my amp. Tried different 1\8” to 1/4” plugs/cables/adapters etc but nothing getting to the amp with headphones connected sounds great! Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? Not much for you to go on I know but just thought I’d ask! Thanks for all your work great stuff. Poe
Yeah it is hard to troubleshoot from afar. Maybe provide some more details and ask over at the GarageBand Users Facebook group. studiolivetoday.com/gbu
Awesome video! Just one question: I have an iPhone 7 which has no headphone jack, would the iRig2 be fine on the iPhone 7 if I use the 3.5mm to lightning dongle with the iRig2? Only want to use it for recording my guitar. Thanks!
Hey there. Yep, the lightning to 3.5mm adapter creates a standard TRRS jack that you can use to plug in to just like you would a regular headphone jack. The downside is that you can't then charge at the same time, and the audio quality is not as good as using a digital iRig like the HD series.
My question is: How do you use Drop D tuning on bass and guitar tracks without using a bass or guitar?? (iphone)I have watched many of your videos and they have helped out lots. Cant seem to find anything on my question.
Thanks for the kind words. So, unfortunately there is no way I adjust the type of tuning used on the smart guitars in GarageBand iOS. The best you can do is play them manually using the touch keyboard which allows you to reach that lower D. You will need to know the voicings of each chord however to play them with the keyboard which isn’t super easy.
Thanks so much for this helpful vid!! I see this is from 2018 - would you recommend the same options in 2020? Looks like the same gear is still available but wondering if something else great has come out in the interim? Thanks again!
Hey there. Most of thy is still holds up today. I’m continuously updating the videos and links at my gear guide here if you want my latest recommendations - studiolivetoday.com/gear
Hey there. No, unfortunately not. Once you connect and audio interface, this becomes the input and output. I wouldn’t recommend Bluetooth for recording anyway due to the latency (lag/delay) that you will experience.
Hey there. Yes, the USB ones all can. Hey analog devices that use a TRRS plug will work provided your PC has a TRRS port. Newer ones generally do, but older ones may have separate headphone, mic and line in jacks.
Is there a way you can then hook up the iPad to an external amp after hooking the iPad/iPhone to the guitar? So basically the iPad is acting as a stomp box
Hey man, great video. I’ve had this thing for months and use it on my Mac about every day and love it. I have never been able to get it to work on my iPad though. I’m usually pretty good at googling through these types of situations but I just can’t get direct line in without a the iPad mic giving the signal. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hey there Max. Hmmm.... so what exactly is happening when you connect it? If you can perhaps give me a little more information I’ll see if I can help you troubleshoot.
This one has what I recommend for recording guitars these days. th-cam.com/video/wh2guC9Ny5M/w-d-xo.html And all my recommendations are here. studiolivetoday.com/gear
Hey there. You will usually need to use an interface like this and then send the output from the headphone or audio output to an audio input on your stereo.
hI pETE,good morning, i need your help. i have a irig 1 with iphone 6 and works perfect, but i change to iphone 8 plus with adapter lightning to trrs and not work, what can the cause that not function correct? thanks in advance for your assistance. regards. Marcelo
Hello Pete - I just want to hook my iPhone SE to my Roland Mini Mobile amp. Can you guide me to the right adapter? I already have the Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter. Thank you!
Send your iPhone to your amp? You just need to connect a stereo 3.5mm to TS cable, or TRS if you have stereo input on your amp. Check this page for my cable guide studiolivetoday.com/cables
Hey there! Quick question: if I’m using one of those little cheap iRig clones that have an analog signal and plug-in to the headphone jack-can I just use a 3.5 mm to lightning adapter and just plug it into the lightning port to convert it into a better digital signal? Or am I just going to have to bite the bullet and pay a little more for a better interface unit altogether? Thx in advance! 🙏🏻
Hey there. You can indeed use the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter and it will create a TRRS socket for you to plug in an iRig, but the quality is still going to be the same as connecting directly to an iPhone/iPad with a headphone jack. For optimal quality, something like thy e iRig HD 2 or I/O is worth considering.
Yep, you will need some sort of audio interface to convert the signal to something the iPhone will recognise - th-cam.com/video/7QOXjfB1ExM/w-d-xo.html
Hey Pete, I couldn't find an answer to this question, so I thought i'd ask you, if i plug my guitar into my phone using an audio interface and go into tonebridge, do i have to use headphones, or can i just have it play directly out of my phone? Also, if my audio interface is plugged into my phone can i use airpods connected to my phone to listen to it?
Hey there. So in most apps, once you plug in and audio interface, this becomes the input and output. So you would need to plug headphones in, or connect to externals speakers.
I can’t imagine wanting to monitor your guitar playing through phone speakers. It would be incredibly unsatisfying. I tried monitoring with AirPods and the latency made it impossible unfortunately.
Great video man thanks so much ... So I’m brand new to recording but if I wanna play a solo over a backing track and record it would this help or do I need software and a PC ? Allow me to explain further . I have my iPhone X with lightning adapter, I wanna use the amp simulations on garage band or tone bridge etc , so now I can plug in get the sound I want but how do I record the backing track and also how do I hear the backing track as I’m playing along with it if I’m using the headphones to hear my app sounds ?.... I’m gonna need a pc ain’t I ?
Hey there. You can get this done just with GarageBand on iOS. In short, you can create, or import, a backing track in GarageBand, then on ya this back while recording your guitar over the top. This video might be a good one to show you all about this. th-cam.com/video/S96uCBEUWlU/w-d-xo.html
Hey there. Make sure you have monitoring enabled in the software and headphones plugged in to the iRig directly. th-cam.com/video/y8YBONgt2lA/w-d-xo.html
Hey there. You can connect your amp output to the input of an audio interface. Or you can use a mic in your amp as I show in this one. th-cam.com/video/suypipF4vOU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much, i use irig the first one, can i plug my multi effect direct to ipad to record, i am afraid it will damage audio card, what do you think?
I think there is something wrong with what I have. I have an original irig plugged into a 3.5 lightning adapter but I can’t hear anything. Is it possible the adapter isn’t TRRS?
Hey, great videos! Just subscribed to your channel! I think you answered this but I could connect a line from the headphone output of an amp to the input of the audio interface? And this might be a dumb question but wondering if I could also connect the headphone output of the iPad to the AUX in of the same amp? So it would be Guitar Amp Phone out > Audio interface > iPad > iPad headphone jack > Same guitar amp AUX in? The amp would serve as a monitor as well.
Hey there. Pretty much any mono or stereo audio signal can be sent anywhere else you like. CHeck out my cable guide here to find out how - studiolivetoday.com/cables
Links to all the gear I talk about are in the description below ⬇⬇⬇
can i please ask, if i have a bluetooth wireless transmitter & receiver, is it possible to use just the transmitter (without using the receiver) and pair it to the phone since the phone has a bluetooth?
Hi nice video. I have a 3.5mm to lighting connection converter for my iPhone7. Will the iRig work with this. Thanks
@@b1na276 Good question? I imagine it would depend on the transmitter and if it was a standard BlueTooth standard? Haven't tried anything like this persaonlly.
@@iangard3696 yes, this creates a standard TRRS connection so will work with any of the analog iRig devices.

Hey there. All these interfaces have headphone outputs so you can connect using to the “aux in” of any speaker and jam away. 👍
Interesting but I own an iPhone X and doesn’t have that kind of hole you talking about
Use a digital interface or mic that uses USB of Lightning. Or use a 3.5mm to lightning adapter if you’re using an older analog interface.

Hey Pete can I get the sound via my bluetooth earbuds when my guitar is connected to my iphone via iRig HD ?
Hey there. No, unfortunately not. Once you connect and audio interface, this becomes the input and output. I wouldn’t recommend Bluetooth for recording anyway due to the latency (lag/delay) that you will experience.
Pete Johns I think you can convert it through the 3.5 mm to lighting then use normal headphones
I have an 6s so 3.5 mm jack is not a problem for me. The problem is I still have a 6s.
Can the audio interface also be used with a computer?
Hey there. Yes, the USB ones all can. Hey analog devices that use a TRRS plug will work provided your PC has a TRRS port. Newer ones generally do, but older ones may have separate headphone, mic and line in jacks.

I’m usually pretty good at googling through these types of situations but I just can’t get direct line in without a the iPad mic giving the signal. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hey there Max. Hmmm.... so what exactly is happening when you connect it? If you can perhaps give me a little more information I’ll see if I can help you troubleshoot.
Hi, is there an update of this video for 2022? Much obliged :)

Hey Pete I bought a interface and a camera cable but it won’t let me play it because it says it’s to large for the obone
It says what sorry?! Might need to ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group. Or check out my other info here. studiolivetoday.com/usb

would a amp to iphone adapter work with newer iphones where the headphone plugs into the charger port
You’d need a Lightning to headphone adapter. But yes.
Digging the Big Star shirt!
Haha! It’s pretty awesome right?
Pete show some tric to connect your electric guiter to your home theater ?
I am very eager to know and follow you to make that
Hey there. You will usually need to use an interface like this and then send the output from the headphone or audio output to an audio input on your stereo.
Thanks you Pete,
hI pETE,good morning, i need your help. i have a irig 1 with iphone 6 and works perfect, but i change to iphone 8 plus with adapter lightning to trrs and not work, what can the cause that not function correct? thanks in advance for your assistance. regards. Marcelo
Hey there. With a genuine Lightning to 3.5mm adapter you should be fine? Maybe consider updating to an iRig HD if you can?
Hello Pete - I just want to hook my iPhone SE to my Roland Mini Mobile amp. Can you guide me to the right adapter? I already have the Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter. Thank you!
Send your iPhone to your amp? You just need to connect a stereo 3.5mm to TS cable, or TRS if you have stereo input on your amp. Check this page for my cable guide studiolivetoday.com/cables
You the man
Thanks my friend.I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Wow, great video, got all the info I needed !!!! Thank you !!!
Thanks Juan. Really glad it helped you out and thanks for taking the time to let me know.
No problem, this led me to,but a pretty cool interface.
👍
Hey there! Quick question: if I’m using one of those little cheap iRig clones that have an analog signal and plug-in to the headphone jack-can I just use a 3.5 mm to lightning adapter and just plug it into the lightning port to convert it into a better digital signal? Or am I just going to have to bite the bullet and pay a little more for a better interface unit altogether? Thx in advance! 🙏🏻
Hey there. You can indeed use the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter and it will create a TRRS socket for you to plug in an iRig, but the quality is still going to be the same as connecting directly to an iPhone/iPad with a headphone jack.
For optimal quality, something like thy e iRig HD 2 or I/O is worth considering.
Excellent! Thx for the quick response, it’s much appreciated! Have a great day, brother!
Cheers my friend. And to you. Here’s another video all about this which might be useful. th-cam.com/video/Dl88BFY0T2g/w-d-xo.html
What about an iPhone 8 that has the lightning connector. Obviously I have the adapter to headphones but do I still need to buy more crap?
Yep, you will need some sort of audio interface to convert the signal to something the iPhone will recognise - th-cam.com/video/7QOXjfB1ExM/w-d-xo.html
Hey Pete, I couldn't find an answer to this question, so I thought i'd ask you, if i plug my guitar into my phone using an audio interface and go into tonebridge, do i have to use headphones, or can i just have it play directly out of my phone? Also, if my audio interface is plugged into my phone can i use airpods connected to my phone to listen to it?
Hey there. So in most apps, once you plug in and audio interface, this becomes the input and output. So you would need to plug headphones in, or connect to externals speakers.
I can’t imagine wanting to monitor your guitar playing through phone speakers. It would be incredibly unsatisfying. I tried monitoring with AirPods and the latency made it impossible unfortunately.
By the order of the Peaky fkn Blinders, the phone stays connected to the Guitar!
Oooooooooo-kay
isnt there an app that picks up from the iphone mic? Just for fun....
Yup. GarageBand can do that. th-cam.com/video/FiFerT4ULUw/w-d-xo.html
thank you man!!
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Pete Johns of course!
Great video man thanks so much ... So I’m brand new to recording but if I wanna play a solo over a backing track and record it would this help or do I need software and a PC ? Allow me to explain further . I have my iPhone X with lightning adapter, I wanna use the amp simulations on garage band or tone bridge etc , so now I can plug in get the sound I want but how do I record the backing track and also how do I hear the backing track as I’m playing along with it if I’m using the headphones to hear my app sounds ?.... I’m gonna need a pc ain’t I ?
Hey there. You can get this done just with GarageBand on iOS. In short, you can create, or import, a backing track in GarageBand, then on ya this back while recording your guitar over the top. This video might be a good one to show you all about this. th-cam.com/video/S96uCBEUWlU/w-d-xo.html
I WANT YOUR GUITAR, SIR!
Thanks, but alas... it’s mine.
Hiii this work with all guitars or the guitar must have an option included?
All the options I show are for recording a standard guitar using a standard 1/4” instrument output.
4:25 why won't it work with the iphone 8 or x? can't you use an jack to lightning adapter?
Yup you sure can.
Question: Can you also record vocals on audio interface
Hey there. Yup, of you use an interface that includes a mic preamp - th-cam.com/video/H7HvCBuScug/w-d-xo.html
Hey Pete could you make a video on how to use Tonebridge the app for using any pedal for your favorite song
Hey there. Yes I really must explore Tonebridge in more detail in the future.
Pete Johns Thanks
👍
Hi Pete! I just bought an iRig for my garageband ios. Why can’t i hear the guitar? My monitoring is turned on. Any help? :(
Hey there. Make sure you have monitoring enabled in the software and headphones plugged in to the iRig directly. th-cam.com/video/y8YBONgt2lA/w-d-xo.html
I’ve used an MP3 recorder to record my bass connected to my amp can I just use my amp to record
Hey there. You can connect your amp output to the input of an audio interface. Or you can use a mic in your amp as I show in this one. th-cam.com/video/suypipF4vOU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much, i use irig the first one, can i plug my multi effect direct to ipad to record, i am afraid it will damage audio card, what do you think?
You’ll usually be okay but are best to go through an audio interface. I have recommendation on my gear guide. studiolivetoday.com/gear
@@PeteJohnsMusic thank you!, i will do it ♥️
I think there is something wrong with what I have. I have an original irig plugged into a 3.5 lightning adapter but I can’t hear anything. Is it possible the adapter isn’t TRRS?
Hmmmm..... are you monitoring the audio in GarageBand or your DAW? Check. This video for more help - th-cam.com/video/02Unfp4yyMg/w-d-xo.html
Hello Pete, I was wondering which cable you’d recommend for recording guitar for the Steinberg audio interface.
Hey there. You just need to connect a standard instrument cable (TS) in to the 1/4” input. th-cam.com/video/za1-jPvjiMs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much Pete, you’re a gem.
Hey, great videos! Just subscribed to your channel! I think you answered this but I could connect a line from the headphone output of an amp to the input of the audio interface?
And this might be a dumb question but wondering if I could also connect the headphone output of the iPad to the AUX in of the same amp? So it would be Guitar Amp Phone out > Audio interface > iPad > iPad headphone jack > Same guitar amp AUX in? The amp would serve as a monitor as well.
Hey there. Pretty much any mono or stereo audio signal can be sent anywhere else you like. CHeck out my cable guide here to find out how - studiolivetoday.com/cables
