Great demo for beginners!!! AUM is must-have for any iPad set-up. Keystep is a nice portable MIDI controller for iPad, with Arp/Seq, and it has full size MIDI in/out - but no knobs/sliders.
You can just plug the headphones into the audio interface. Everything else would be the same. However, it can be difficult to get a decent "mix" using headphones. But you can always add monitors at a later time as well. 😀 👊

@@TimO-wt9sz Hey Hey! If you want to record audio into the iPad, you'll want to have an audio interface connected to it. 👍 I made a video on that specifically which might help: th-cam.com/video/Q1l0hFeH26I/w-d-xo.html Depending on your personal recording needs, a lot of people seem to like recording into Cubasis on the iPad. It's a full DAW and can do a lot from what i've seen. If your new to the world of music with iPad, some great channels to check out are: The Sound Test Room: th-cam.com/channels/DU1ULcAb0OMgv0Xi0CbYYw.html Jakob Haq: th-cam.com/channels/ZFPiLpzd4cKOsBS9CIu3xg.html Hope some of that helps you on your musical journey! 😀 👊
I think the iPad mini currently has a better processor than the regular ipad. I’d assume the iPad is due for an update next before the mini gets another so that’ll change ahain
Thank you so much for this Dean. I’m getting my first iPad in a week and was going a little bonkers trying to figure out how to set everything up. Now the secret is revealed. A usb hub. And not very expensive either. Again thanks man. Btw, I’m gonna be getting a couple of those Bram Bos apps. Probably Ruismaker Noir, And Kosmonaut for vocals. And maybe Ripplemaker. Sorry I’m getting away from my question I had. Would you recommend any DAWs for me if you don’t mind? I will be weening off of GarageBand because we’ll....it doesn’t have 5/4 time. I have Beatmaker 2 but there’s probably better ones. Since I’ll have an iPad soon. Here are some I’ve thought about: Auria Pro Nano Studio 2 Beatmaker 3 Cubasis And recommend any others you may know about. I’ll be doing a lot of synth stuff, lots of beats and Orchestral music as well with iSymphonic Orchestra if that helps. Thanks again man. Very well done. I subscribed and I’ll also go through your other vids now.
It's really hard to suggest a DAW - they all have their strengths and weaknesses. If you want to work with a lot of loops and samples - BM3 is good. If you want a more linear approach, and also want to be able to record a lot of audio to the timeline - Cubasis 2 is good. The 5/4 thing is going to give you a headache on iOS imho, sorry. I don't have any experience with the others, but you will find loads of info on *ALL* of the iOS DAWS on Jakob's channel or "The Sound Test Room". Happy music making! 😀 👊
Thanks man. I think any of them would work just fine. Just wanted to hear what you had to say. I’ll check out Jakob’s stuff and definitely Doug’s for some DAW stuff. Thanks again though
Roland Zenbeats. They’re giving away the Unlocked version for free as a quarantine gift. I’m loving Zenbeats so far. My other iPad DAW is NanoStudio2-super duper fantastic, right now is 9.99!
Nice simple setup! I was thinking about doing a similar setup with my iPad & a Digitakt & a Novation Mininova. Seems like I would have a lot of options. Would you do this setup in a live setting- say a coffee house etc except maybe different sound system etc? Seem like what you have in the video would do the job!
I don't play out personally, but sure that would work. 👍 I just did a video on combining the Digitakt with Beatmaker 3 on iPad - you definitely have *a lot* of options. 😀 👊 th-cam.com/video/sNGqKDatT9M/w-d-xo.html
Checked out the 7 Port Anker device. And all the reviews said it can’t charge the iPad Pro, the power supply is noisy and gets hot. The whole unit fails with in a few weeks or months. Any other products that would be better. Have you had any problems? Thanks
I don't use it to charge the iPad Pro, you need to use the A/C adapter the iPad Pro came with and the proper Apple brand Multi AV adapter with a newer iPad Pro. However, the quality of Anker products for me has been nothing but top notch, I have a ton of their products because of this. Not one has failed me, I even have THREE of the USB hubs I show here - no issues for YEARS. Since this video was made, in fact !! I STILL HAVE THE SAME THREE POWERED ANKER USB HUBS SINCE I MADE THIS VIDEO AND THEY STILL WORK PEFECTLTY! ❤️
Thanks, Bro! Yeah - I am really liking the Focusrite Scarlett! I have other interfaces, but they all have little quirks.... This one, just WORKS! Woot! 🤗😁👊
Hey Hey and thanks for watching! 😀 👊 Sorry, I don't actually use either of those DAW's on iOS, i'm more of a Beatmaker 3 DAW guy... th-cam.com/video/07wPL_nuEI4/w-d-xo.html That being said, though - I mostly use AUM for live jamming, and not so much incorporating with other software. Regardless... 😏 If you press record on multiple tracks in AUM - it will record the *individual tracks* to wav format and store them automatically inside of AudioShare app (You need to have that app too, for it to work...) Then you can access those individual track recordings, and import them into your DAW of choice for working with, or chopping up into something new, etc. 👍👍
Electronisounds Audio Awesome, thank you! I really learned a lot from this video and look forward to implementing it. I’ve been wanting to use iOS more extensively for music production, and this video really helps show how. Thanks and subscribed!
Thanks for watching! Hope it helps you on *your* musical journey! 😀 👊

Good morning sir, Thank you a lot for making very clear explanations about how to set an iPad Studio!! I've watched the video several times to be sure to get every information since i'm not a native english speaker. I just think I've found the exception that doesn't confirm one thing very interesting you've said "everything is interchangeable". My audio interface is (unfortunately) an alesis multimix 8 USB FX BU to be able to use it, you have to install a driver (on PC and Mac - and the driver does not even work on Mac-) . And there is none for iPad... I will try it though, hoping it will work without any drivers on iPad, hoping every brand does so that everything is interchangeable! Otherwise, I will get a scarlett Have a nice day!
Sorry, sounds like your audio interface is not "Class Compliant" - Older interfaces will not be. Also, your talking about an Alesis MIXER, not an audio interface. You need to look for the words "Class Compliant" or "iPad compatible" to be included in the Audio Interface's product description. Almost all of the newer audio interfaces are Class Compliant. 😀 👊
4 ปีที่แล้ว
@@ElectronisoundsAudio Thanks a lot for your response!! Yes, it is.. and it is supposed to also have an audio interface included, but it's all right, I got it like ten years ago, it would have been a miracle if it had worked correctly with new technology 😂 I will purchase a scarlett 2i2 to face this issue and be VERY careful to check the words "Class Compliant" and "iPad compatible" ! Thanks again for both your helpful answer and your video :)
Sorry, I don't work for Anker so I don't know their exact product line for 2020. I'm confident that any of the Anker brand ones will work well though. 😀 👊 I've got 3 Anker hubs in here and no problems with any of them. Good build quality. 👍 YES! A *LOT* of iPad synths have arpeggiators! Some are better than others, but the very low price point of synths on iOS makes it easy to experiment with many different ones. Definitely check out Jakob Haq's channel for deep, and detailed info on LOADS of iOS synths: th-cam.com/channels/ZFPiLpzd4cKOsBS9CIu3xg.html
I would love a video explaining setup with cable and all explaining using iPad as a sound effect pedal. Sound coming out of a synth or an other ipad(synth) and having a seperet iPad as a chorus/Hp-filter/flanger/etc. effect machine/pedal.
Hey Hey! I don't really use the iPad this way, and how to rig it / route it will depend specifically on your set up, and what exactly you are trying to do. The only thing that is really the same in every situation imho, is that the iPad you want to use as the FX Pedal will need an audio interface with audio input so you can connect the audio out of the device you want to effect. 🤗😁👊
You can use the app, AUM to host AUv3 synths and effects, you can then play those synths with a midi controller connected to the iPad and you can sequence the synths from inside of AUM (using your choice of iPad sequencers). You can record any audio inside of AUM. Here's an example: th-cam.com/video/rF7g3BQkOHg/w-d-xo.html
@@ElectronisoundsAudio Thanks Dean. I understand it now. YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR. I just ordered the Scarlett 2i2, adapters, powered usb hub and a TD-3. My dream is coming true. Thank you
Cool video...next will be nice to see a video about setup options for a mobile musician (powerhub without wall power) And a video about setup options that the ipad is a tool and a p.c at the end as a daw .. Keep the good work!!!
I have just purchased an akai mpk 249 and it seems to be the only midi controller i have that will not work through my insignia powered usb hub. . . ? The only way i can get the ipad to recognize mpk is to plug it in directly with the apple powered connection kit ..? Same thing with my Lenovo android , direct connection only .. ! Is there something i am missing .....? Do i need a 3.0 speed powered hub...? Does the mpk not work with powered usb hubs...? I have purchased both the mpk power supply and the apple powered con. Kit and have tried every way possible to connect the ipad and mpk through the usb hub and it simply does not recognize it...? If there is anything that comes to mind i would greatly appreciate the intel. . . Thank you , - m.p.
Sounds like your issue could indeed be the powered hub you are using. The first thing I would do to test would be to try a different *quality* USB hub. It's pricey, but I have a link to one in the video description that works very well. 😀 👊
This is great. I just wanted to ask you to remind the folks about needing the powered speaks. Many people are used to having an amp or tuner with amp built in. This may be new having powered speaks. The Scarlett has no power, as you well know. Thanks man.
Hi there, fyi I have an ipad 2 and am trialing ios music production software and have found that over half the apps i have tried either require ipad 4 or later or ipad pro to work. Many wont work on ipad 2 so ipad pro or ipad 4 or later would be minimum requirements. I cant however comment on ipad air or ipad mini as I have never used them. Looks like Im up for a new ipad. Hope this helps. Regards Jason from Auckland
Hey Hey! Yeah, a lot of the music apps require a faster iPad with OS 11 and up. 👊 That being said... I wonder if the "Grooverider GR16" app would work on your iPad... 👍👍 It's a GREAT groovebox app that even loads on my old iPhone 4s!
Awesome video, thanks for the guidance! I've been doing vocals on iPad for a couple/few years, and am just learning how to master (nothing has sounded right yet outside of headphones!) I upgraded my recording setup last year, and am going to build out a kitchen table "studio" now using your same Focusrite & USB hub, but am going to go with some KRK RP5G3 ROKIT's so I don't have to sell myself for money. Happy weekend, amigo! --Mike
@@ElectronisoundsAudio Turns out I read on the Focusrite site that the 2i2 will run on power from an iPad Pro, so I saved a few bucks on the hub, for now. Will see how it works.
@@radio.wolfman Oh Sweet! 😀 👊 You'll want the hub if you decide to plug anything else into the iPad besides the Audio Interface, such as a midi controller for example. You're going to *love* the Scarlet!! Woot!
This video was so helpful. I have a few devices that I wanted to connect to my iPad but wasn't sure how to connect everything. My audio input only has one input though. I have the Uno synth and drum, arturia keystep, and the arturia microfreak that I want to connect. Plus I want to be able to track a guitar, bass, and microphone. Do I need an audio import that has enough inputs for everything? Or is there any way I could Daisy chain the hardware and then just remove those when I want to talk the guitar or bass?
Hey Hey, Mark! 😀 👊 You could either just plug in one thing at a time and track everything individually, one piece at a time - OR You could upgrade to an audio interface with more inputs so you can track more things individually at the same time - OR You could choose to plug all of your gear into a mixer and then route one (or more) channels to track in the iPad. However, most mixers are only going to give you *ONE* main output channel - not *individual channels* into your iPad (So you would still have to track things one at a time, just not re-route your cables every time...). To do multi-track from a mixer into the iPad, You have to get special *multi-track* over USB mixers that are specifically designed for that kind of thing, and cost a lot more, etc. If you are running *AUDIO* cables from the mixer to the iPad for recording into the iPad, you will still need an audio interface connected to the iPad to run the audio cables into. Hope that helps! 😀 👊
@@MarkStrus I just have a suggestion for the one to potentially *avoid*... 👊 I'm not very happy with the one I chose to get for that exact purpose: The Soundcraft MTK Signature 22 mixer. 🤔 I find that it records an audio level *so low* in volume that I literally cannot work with it. I've tried with both iPad and Ableton on PC - same low level audio recordings on both. It also does *not* record the EQ or effects into the computer or iPad - the direct channel audio *only* - I really wanted to be able to use the onboard EQ and effects to record INTO the iPad - individually, multi-tracked. Nope. 🤔 After tons of research, I found many other with the same problem of *LOW AUDIO LEVEL* when recording on this mixer, but it was already to late to return mine by that time. It works GREAT as just a standard audio mixer - but for multi-track USB recording as advertised? Not really so much....
Sorry, I don't use garageband so I can't say. I use LumaFusion on the iPad to edit video, and you can add multiple tracks of audio and video to the timeline.
@@gilgameshjourney4650 I don't know 100% what the differences are, but i'm pretty sure they are different versions. I don't use FL, so I can't say for sure. 👊
One more thing. I tried to connect two iPads via a powerde USB hub. And add a keyboard. That does not work as expected. Is the Focusrite doing this connection thing? I want to use my older iPad as source of MIDI inside AUM. And I want to use this MIDI inside the other iPad on some synth-apps. And I want to also use the keyboard. Somehow I am not sure if that would work and I don't want to buy anything that may or may not work. Can you help me?
Sorry, You cannot have 2 iPads using the same audio interface - it just does not work that way. You would have to use the 2nd iPad for midi via blue tooth somehow (I don't know, sorry...) Or have actual, 5-pin midi connected to both iPads like a standard instrument. 😀 👊
Hello there! So the usb power hub is a must when it comes to using the scarlet to the iPad or iPhone? what happens with streaming... can I power the scarlet only using the usb lightning adapter with the dc power ? thanks for this video!!!
Sure! You would just route the audio outputs from your iPad's audio interface into the mixer (along with any other hardware you want to run into the mixer) and then run the main outputs from the mixer into your monitor speakers or headphone out if you are using headphones. 😀 👊
@@ElectronisoundsAudio so, from the audio interface (focusrite back inputs) into a mixer (for example channel 3 and channel 4) then main out from the mixer into the monitors?
Hi, thanks for a informative video, you have both the Novation Launchkey 25 and the Novation Launchkey Mini, would just the Mini do. I want to control AUM synths?
GREAT question! And one I get a LOT. Sorry, my friend - no. Each iPad would need it's own audio interface. If you plug 2 iPads into that same USB Hub, it won't work, sorry! To use 2 iPads, both with pro quality audio in and out, I use each with it's own Novation Audio Hub 2x4 as the audio interface. (you could use ANY audio interface for either iPad...) You then plug BOTH the audio interfaces into a MIXER of some kind and on to your speakers and/or computer from there... I really like the Novation Audio Hub 2 x 4 Audio Interface (I have FOUR of them - lol), however - they have their limitations like everything. There is no 5pin midi input, and there is no XLR mic input, but you get three built-in USB ports for connecting up your USB midi controllers (like the Novation midi controllers... lol) and they work without needing an extra powered USB hub - you plug it directly into the iPad via the Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter... Hope that makes sense, Bro! 🤗😁👊

I made a video on that specifically which might help: th-cam.com/video/Q1l0hFeH26I/w-d-xo.html
Depending on your personal recording needs, a lot of people seem to like recording into Cubasis on the iPad.
It's a full DAW and can do a lot from what i've seen.
If your new to the world of music with iPad, some great channels to check out are:
The Sound Test Room: th-cam.com/channels/DU1ULcAb0OMgv0Xi0CbYYw.html
Jakob Haq: th-cam.com/channels/ZFPiLpzd4cKOsBS9CIu3xg.html
Hope some of that helps you on your musical journey! 😀 👊
I think the iPad mini currently has a better processor than the regular ipad. I’d assume the iPad is due for an update next before the mini gets another so that’ll change ahain
All the specs are here (Just choose "Show all models"!) 😀 👊 : www.apple.com/ipad/compare/
Thank you so much for this Dean. I’m getting my first iPad in a week and was going a little bonkers trying to figure out how to set everything up. Now the secret is revealed. A usb hub. And not very expensive either. Again thanks man. Btw, I’m gonna be getting a couple of those Bram Bos apps. Probably Ruismaker Noir, And Kosmonaut for vocals. And maybe Ripplemaker.
Sorry I’m getting away from my question I had. Would you recommend any DAWs for me if you don’t mind?
I will be weening off of GarageBand because we’ll....it doesn’t have 5/4 time. I have Beatmaker 2 but there’s probably better ones. Since I’ll have an iPad soon.
Here are some I’ve thought about:
Auria Pro
Nano Studio 2
Beatmaker 3
Cubasis
And recommend any others you may know about. I’ll be doing a lot of synth stuff, lots of beats and Orchestral music as well with iSymphonic Orchestra if that helps. Thanks again man. Very well done. I subscribed and I’ll also go through your other vids now.
It's really hard to suggest a DAW - they all have their strengths and weaknesses.
If you want to work with a lot of loops and samples - BM3 is good.
If you want a more linear approach, and also want to be able to record a lot of audio to the timeline - Cubasis 2 is good.
The 5/4 thing is going to give you a headache on iOS imho, sorry.
I don't have any experience with the others, but you will find loads of info on *ALL* of the iOS DAWS on Jakob's channel or "The Sound Test Room".
Happy music making! 😀 👊
Thanks man. I think any of them would work just fine. Just wanted to hear what you had to say. I’ll check out Jakob’s stuff and definitely Doug’s for some DAW stuff. Thanks again though
Roland Zenbeats. They’re giving away the Unlocked version for free as a quarantine gift. I’m loving Zenbeats so far.
My other iPad DAW is NanoStudio2-super duper fantastic, right now is 9.99!
Thanks Dean. Super helpful! 🙏😎✨
Hey Hey! Thanks for watching! 🤗😁👊
Thank you so much for your efforts n time for this video sir ...helps me a lot ❤️👍👍
YAY! Glad to help! 😁🙏👊
Nice simple setup! I was thinking about doing a similar setup with my iPad & a Digitakt & a Novation Mininova. Seems like I would have a lot of options. Would you do this setup in a live setting- say a coffee house etc except maybe different sound system etc? Seem like what you have in the video would do the job!
I don't play out personally, but sure that would work. 👍
I just did a video on combining the Digitakt with Beatmaker 3 on iPad - you definitely have *a lot* of options. 😀 👊
th-cam.com/video/sNGqKDatT9M/w-d-xo.html
Awesome stuff, exactly what I needed. Thanks
Sweet! Thanks for watching! 😀 👊
Thank you for sharing this detailed setup!
Hope it helps you on *your* musical journey! 😀 👊
Checked out the 7 Port Anker device. And all the reviews said it can’t charge the iPad Pro, the power supply is noisy and gets hot. The whole unit fails with in a few weeks or months. Any other products that would be better. Have you had any problems? Thanks
I don't use it to charge the iPad Pro, you need to use the A/C adapter the iPad Pro came with and the proper Apple brand Multi AV adapter with a newer iPad Pro.
However, the quality of Anker products for me has been nothing but top notch, I have a ton of their products because of this.
Not one has failed me, I even have THREE of the USB hubs I show here - no issues for YEARS. Since this video was made, in fact !!
I STILL HAVE THE SAME THREE POWERED ANKER USB HUBS SINCE I MADE THIS VIDEO AND THEY STILL WORK PEFECTLTY! ❤️
@@ElectronisoundsAudio Thanks, got some ideas.
Nice setup! I went with the same interface. It's perfect.
Thanks, Bro! Yeah - I am really liking the Focusrite Scarlett! I have other interfaces, but they all have little quirks.... This one, just WORKS! Woot! 🤗😁👊
Fantastic video! I wonder, how do you use AUM in your workflow when using a DAW like Garageband or Auria?
Hey Hey and thanks for watching! 😀 👊
Sorry, I don't actually use either of those DAW's on iOS, i'm more of a Beatmaker 3 DAW guy... th-cam.com/video/07wPL_nuEI4/w-d-xo.html
That being said, though - I mostly use AUM for live jamming, and not so much incorporating with other software.
Regardless... 😏
If you press record on multiple tracks in AUM - it will record the *individual tracks* to wav format and store them automatically inside of AudioShare app (You need to have that app too, for it to work...) Then you can access those individual track recordings, and import them into your DAW of choice for working with, or chopping up into something new, etc. 👍👍
Electronisounds Audio Awesome, thank you! I really learned a lot from this video and look forward to implementing it. I’ve been wanting to use iOS more extensively for music production, and this video really helps show how. Thanks and subscribed!
Very informative.
Thanks for watching! Hope it helps you on *your* musical journey! 😀 👊
Good morning sir,
Thank you a lot for making very clear explanations about how to set an iPad Studio!! I've watched the video several times to be sure to get every information since i'm not a native english speaker.
I just think I've found the exception that doesn't confirm one thing very interesting you've said "everything is interchangeable". My audio interface is (unfortunately) an alesis multimix 8 USB FX BU to be able to use it, you have to install a driver (on PC and Mac - and the driver does not even work on Mac-) . And there is none for iPad... I will try it though, hoping it will work without any drivers on iPad, hoping every brand does so that everything is interchangeable! Otherwise, I will get a scarlett
Have a nice day!
Sorry, sounds like your audio interface is not "Class Compliant" - Older interfaces will not be.
Also, your talking about an Alesis MIXER, not an audio interface.
You need to look for the words "Class Compliant" or "iPad compatible" to be included in the Audio Interface's product description.
Almost all of the newer audio interfaces are Class Compliant.
😀 👊
@@ElectronisoundsAudio Thanks a lot for your response!! Yes, it is.. and it is supposed to also have an audio interface included, but it's all right, I got it like ten years ago, it would have been a miracle if it had worked correctly with new technology 😂
I will purchase a scarlett 2i2 to face this issue and be VERY careful to check the words "Class Compliant" and "iPad compatible" !
Thanks again for both your helpful answer and your video :)
Thanks for sharing your video, what would be the best very latest Powered Anker usb Hub be in 2020, does any of those Synths have Arpeggiators.
Sorry, I don't work for Anker so I don't know their exact product line for 2020. I'm confident that any of the Anker brand ones will work well though. 😀 👊
I've got 3 Anker hubs in here and no problems with any of them. Good build quality. 👍
YES! A *LOT* of iPad synths have arpeggiators! Some are better than others, but the very low price point of synths on iOS makes it easy to experiment with many different ones.
Definitely check out Jakob Haq's channel for deep, and detailed info on LOADS of iOS synths: th-cam.com/channels/ZFPiLpzd4cKOsBS9CIu3xg.html
I would love a video explaining setup with cable and all explaining using iPad as a sound effect pedal. Sound coming out of a synth or an other ipad(synth) and having a seperet iPad as a chorus/Hp-filter/flanger/etc. effect machine/pedal.
Hey Hey! I don't really use the iPad this way, and how to rig it / route it will depend specifically on your set up, and what exactly you are trying to do.
The only thing that is really the same in every situation imho, is that the iPad you want to use as the FX Pedal will need an audio interface with audio input so you can connect the audio out of the device you want to effect. 🤗😁👊
Awesome setup tutorial. This is really helpful. I've been planning for this kind of iPad home studio setup. Thank u
YAY! I hope it helps you in *your* musical journey! 😀 👊
Hello. Does Aum run in the background if you go to the home screen?
I need to run my module library app as well. Thanks for the video too, btw.
Yes! You can absolutely have AUM running in the background. 😀 👊
Electronisounds Audio Thank you 😊
Useful video. Thanks.
Question! Could I use this set up to record a synth on my iPad being sequence by the iPad?
Great videos, keep up the good work.
You can use the app, AUM to host AUv3 synths and effects, you can then play those synths with a midi controller connected to the iPad and you can sequence the synths from inside of AUM (using your choice of iPad sequencers). You can record any audio inside of AUM. Here's an example: th-cam.com/video/rF7g3BQkOHg/w-d-xo.html
@@ElectronisoundsAudio Thanks Dean. I understand it now. YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR.
I just ordered the Scarlett 2i2, adapters, powered usb hub and a TD-3.
My dream is coming true. Thank you
@@timpayne7676 Awesome!! GOOD LUCK, Tim!! 😀 👊
Dope video truly will help many and so detailed great clarity
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Yeah! 🤗😁👊
Hello! Are you able to record in that app you were using on the iPad? Or do you route that to GarageBand or something like that?
Yes! You can record audio in AUM, in fact, you can record clean loops with it as well: th-cam.com/video/rF7g3BQkOHg/w-d-xo.html
Cool video...next will be nice to see a video about setup options for a mobile musician (powerhub without wall power)
And a video about setup options that the ipad is a tool and a p.c at the end as a daw ..
Keep the good work!!!
Thanks for the kind words, Sam! 🤗😁👊
Now that would be a great idea.
Great video, I've been wondering how to do this exact thing for a while, now I know how.
Awesome! Glad I could help, mate! Awwww Yeah! 🤗😁👊
Great job! I learned a lot. Game changer for me.
Thanks for watching! There is so much fun stuff on iPad for music right now! Woot! 😀 👊
I have just purchased an akai mpk 249 and it seems to be the only midi controller i have that will not work through my insignia powered usb hub. . . ? The only way i can get the ipad to recognize mpk is to plug it in directly with the apple powered connection kit ..? Same thing with my Lenovo android , direct connection only .. ! Is there something i am missing .....? Do i need a 3.0 speed powered hub...? Does the mpk not work with powered usb hubs...? I have purchased both the mpk power supply and the apple powered con. Kit and have tried every way possible to connect the ipad and mpk through the usb hub and it simply does not recognize it...? If there is anything that comes to mind i would greatly appreciate the intel. . . Thank you , - m.p.
Sounds like your issue could indeed be the powered hub you are using.
The first thing I would do to test would be to try a different *quality* USB hub.
It's pricey, but I have a link to one in the video description that works very well. 😀 👊
This is great. I just wanted to ask you to remind the folks about needing the powered speaks. Many people are used to having an amp or tuner with amp built in. This may be new having powered speaks. The Scarlett has no power, as you well know. Thanks man.
Hey Hey! Thanks for the support! 😀 👊
Why do you need to power the Apple adapter for the IPad if you already have the USB powered hub already?
Because Apple didn't make it work that way. (They want to sell the adapters.......)
Hi there, fyi I have an ipad 2 and am trialing ios music production software and have found that over half the apps i have tried either require ipad 4 or later or ipad pro to work. Many wont work on ipad 2 so ipad pro or ipad 4 or later would be minimum requirements. I cant however comment on ipad air or ipad mini as I have never used them. Looks like Im up for a new ipad. Hope this helps. Regards Jason from Auckland
Hey Hey! Yeah, a lot of the music apps require a faster iPad with OS 11 and up. 👊
That being said... I wonder if the "Grooverider GR16" app would work on your iPad... 👍👍
It's a GREAT groovebox app that even loads on my old iPhone 4s!
Cool video. I’ve built all my studio gear into my motor home... great way to visit friends :)
Nice One!! That sounds awesome! 😀 👊
Excellant vidéo good job!😊
I hope it helps you on *your* musical journey! 😁👊
@@ElectronisoundsAudio yes it helps thanks
Very helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for watching! 😁👊
Awesome video, thanks for the guidance! I've been doing vocals on iPad for a couple/few years, and am just learning how to master (nothing has sounded right yet outside of headphones!) I upgraded my recording setup last year, and am going to build out a kitchen table "studio" now using your same Focusrite & USB hub, but am going to go with some KRK RP5G3 ROKIT's so I don't have to sell myself for money. Happy weekend, amigo! --Mike
Boom! Sweet! Enjoy the journey, Bro! 🤗😁👊
@@ElectronisoundsAudio Turns out I read on the Focusrite site that the 2i2 will run on power from an iPad Pro, so I saved a few bucks on the hub, for now. Will see how it works.
@@radio.wolfman Oh Sweet! 😀 👊 You'll want the hub if you decide to plug anything else into the iPad besides the Audio Interface, such as a midi controller for example. You're going to *love* the Scarlet!! Woot!
Electronisounds Audio I hope so! I researched all day like a... like a researching fiend. 🥴
just subscribed! will comeback for my future recording set up.. thank you!
I hope it helps you on *your* musical journey! 😁👊
@@ElectronisoundsAudio it sure did!! learned a lot. keep posting vids..
Great video. Keep up good work!
Will this work with MacBook Air ?
Sure! 😀 👊 But the software you use would have to be something on the PC, AUM is only for iPad.
This video was so helpful. I have a few devices that I wanted to connect to my iPad but wasn't sure how to connect everything. My audio input only has one input though. I have the Uno synth and drum, arturia keystep, and the arturia microfreak that I want to connect. Plus I want to be able to track a guitar, bass, and microphone. Do I need an audio import that has enough inputs for everything? Or is there any way I could Daisy chain the hardware and then just remove those when I want to talk the guitar or bass?
Hey Hey, Mark! 😀 👊
You could either just plug in one thing at a time and track everything individually, one piece at a time -
OR
You could upgrade to an audio interface with more inputs so you can track more things individually at the same time -
OR
You could choose to plug all of your gear into a mixer and then route one (or more) channels to track in the iPad. However, most mixers are only going to give you *ONE* main output channel - not *individual channels* into your iPad (So you would still have to track things one at a time, just not re-route your cables every time...).
To do multi-track from a mixer into the iPad, You have to get special *multi-track* over USB mixers that are specifically designed for that kind of thing, and cost a lot more, etc.
If you are running *AUDIO* cables from the mixer to the iPad for recording into the iPad, you will still need an audio interface connected to the iPad to run the audio cables into.
Hope that helps! 😀 👊
Electronisounds Audio thanks that's exactly what I needed to know. I'll look into mixers that do the multitrack over USB. Any recommendations?
@@MarkStrus I just have a suggestion for the one to potentially *avoid*... 👊
I'm not very happy with the one I chose to get for that exact purpose: The Soundcraft MTK Signature 22 mixer. 🤔
I find that it records an audio level *so low* in volume that I literally cannot work with it.
I've tried with both iPad and Ableton on PC - same low level audio recordings on both.
It also does *not* record the EQ or effects into the computer or iPad - the direct channel audio *only* -
I really wanted to be able to use the onboard EQ and effects to record INTO the iPad - individually, multi-tracked. Nope. 🤔
After tons of research, I found many other with the same problem of *LOW AUDIO LEVEL* when recording on this mixer, but it was already to late to return mine by that time.
It works GREAT as just a standard audio mixer - but for multi-track USB recording as advertised? Not really so much....
Hey hope yall doin good, i wanted to ask how can i place video on garageband or if theres any other option
Sorry, I don't use garageband so I can't say. I use LumaFusion on the iPad to edit video, and you can add multiple tracks of audio and video to the timeline.
Very informative!Great job
Thanks for watching! I hope it helps you on *your* musical journey! 😀 👊
So one of my questions is the fl studio that I used for my laptop is it the same for the IPad?Or which Fl studio app do I download?
@@gilgameshjourney4650 I don't know 100% what the differences are, but i'm pretty sure they are different versions. I don't use FL, so I can't say for sure. 👊
One more thing. I tried to connect two iPads via a powerde USB hub. And add a keyboard. That does not work as expected. Is the Focusrite doing this connection thing? I want to use my older iPad as source of MIDI inside AUM. And I want to use this MIDI inside the other iPad on some synth-apps. And I want to also use the keyboard. Somehow I am not sure if that would work and I don't want to buy anything that may or may not work. Can you help me?
Sorry, You cannot have 2 iPads using the same audio interface - it just does not work that way. You would have to use the 2nd iPad for midi via blue tooth somehow (I don't know, sorry...) Or have actual, 5-pin midi connected to both iPads like a standard instrument. 😀 👊
@@ElectronisoundsAudio Dang. But thanks.
Hello there!
So the usb power hub is a must when it comes to using the scarlet to the iPad or iPhone? what happens with streaming... can I power the scarlet only using the usb lightning adapter with the dc power ? thanks for this video!!!
My scarlet does not offer DC power, and you need the powered USB hub. 👊
Great tutorial! Thank you.
Hope it helps you on *your* musical journey! 😀 👊
You're a legend.
I hope this helps you on *your* musical journey! Big Ups! 😁🙏👊
Any chance you can tell us how to include a mixer to the setup?
Sure! You would just route the audio outputs from your iPad's audio interface into the mixer (along with any other hardware you want to run into the mixer) and then run the main outputs from the mixer into your monitor speakers or headphone out if you are using headphones. 😀 👊
@@ElectronisoundsAudio so, from the audio interface (focusrite back inputs) into a mixer (for example channel 3 and channel 4) then main out from the mixer into the monitors?
@@nicomarofficial You Got it! 😀 👊
@@ElectronisoundsAudio thanks man!!! You’ve helped me a lot with my set up 2 years ago. Now again!!! Thanks for all your videos...😁👍👍
@@nicomarofficial SWEET!! Glad to help on *your* musical journey! 🤗😁👊
that’s the same interface i have , the 2i2 , great video man
Love the 2i2! This one has lasted me for so long now, too! YAY!!
Electronisounds Audio ikr mine is holding up like a champ!
Hi, thanks for a informative video, you have both the Novation Launchkey 25 and the Novation Launchkey Mini, would just the Mini do. I want to control AUM synths?
Hey Hey! Absolutely! I really love the mini, but you lose the mod wheel, which is a bummer.... 😀 👊
Awesome video as usual!
Would this set up work with multiple iPads? I’m thinking of using iPads as instruments. Thank you!
GREAT question! And one I get a LOT. Sorry, my friend - no.
Each iPad would need it's own audio interface.
If you plug 2 iPads into that same USB Hub, it won't work, sorry!
To use 2 iPads, both with pro quality audio in and out, I use each with it's own Novation Audio Hub 2x4 as the audio interface.
(you could use ANY audio interface for either iPad...)
You then plug BOTH the audio interfaces into a MIXER of some kind and on to your speakers and/or computer from there...
I really like the Novation Audio Hub 2 x 4 Audio Interface (I have FOUR of them - lol), however - they have their limitations like everything.
There is no 5pin midi input, and there is no XLR mic input, but you get three built-in USB ports for connecting up your USB midi controllers (like the Novation midi controllers... lol) and they work without needing an extra powered USB hub - you plug it directly into the iPad via the Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter...
Hope that makes sense, Bro! 🤗😁👊
Dean thank you so much for the reply and the info. Very useful. Have a great day!
