Please help, i have a scarlett 2i2 and apple lightning to USB 3 adapter connected to a powerbrick and the iPad (5th generation, iOS 13.2.3 ) still says “Cannot use accessory: Scarlett 2i2 USB: this accessory requires too much power”. The setup works on my iPhone 7 iOS 13.2.3 so i know that i am not doing anything wrong. I just want to use the iPad cause it has a larger screen. Thank you so much.
Hey there. I would highly recommend a powered USB hub in this situation as it will provide much more reliable power and work with any iOS device, as it won’t drain any of the power from your iPhone or iPad.
SOLVED: Just use a powerbrick strong enough to power the iPad such as the iPad’s original powerbrick. (When I had the problem, turns out I was still using the iPhone’s powerbrick for the iPad, my bad)
Pete Johns I bought all the products suggested in this video and am using a focusrite Scarlett 18i8. The first time I plugged everything in it worked, but after I turned everything off and plugged in the mics, the iPad stopped recognizing the interface. I can’t get it to bring up that message that says “audio device connected”
I just received this exact same USB hub and it works great!!! I had an old M-Audio interface laying around that didn’t work with my MacBook anymore and I couldn’t believe it works with the iPad!!! It’ll be great to go out and record mobile wherever inspiration comes to me, thank you for this tutorial.
I was having problems with my UR22-C and iPad and i remembered that you had a video. You are the best teacher on the web. You explain everything and yes i take your advice on gear.
Hi Pete. Great video. A good audio interface to consider if you want to avoid the lightning connection issues is the Focusrite iTrack Solo. It comes with a lightning cable, so you can just plug and play. I picked mine up 2nd hand, boxed and barely used for about the same price as the usb to lightning adapter you’re using in the vid. It doesn’t draw power from the iPad, so you do need to connect it to a usb power source.
Nice one! Thanks for the recommendation. I have seen the iTrack Solo around the place and often wondered if it was a good option since it supports iOS out of the box. So it has two separate connections, one for power and one for data?
@@PeteJohnsMusic Yes. It has a usb power supply which I just plug in to an Apple charger. The Lightning cable has a proprietary connector to the device which probably won’t work with anything else. The interface can apparently work with Mac or PC if you download the appropriate driver, although I’ve never tried it. Other than that, it’s pretty standard. Two inputs with separate gain stages (mic and jack), phantom power, direct headphone monitor and two line outs for monitors. I’ve never used anything else, so I don’t know how it compares to other devices, but it’s working fine for me.
Beautiful! Thanks for the extra info. Looks like a really solid option for those wanting an "out of the box" solution but wanting something more solid than the iRig range.
I would love to see a comparison between the iTrack Solo and the Scarlet Solo as those are the two I’ve narrowed my search to. I asked a TH-cam reviewer if the iTrack and she said Scarlet will produce a bit better sound.
@@PeteJake100 I’m not sure anyone could say that unequivocally unless they had tried both or studied the components list. For me, the iTrack Solo was an easy choice because I didn’t need an extra camera kit to get connected. I tend to think along the lines of the fewer additional connections in the signal path the better.
Hey Pete, did anybody ever say thank you for a great vid on how to use such gear? Then let me start today: THANK YOU Sir, ever so helpful. And thank you for letting us have the links to all your product suggestions.

Hey!! Just want to say THANK YOU for making this video. I got the usb hub you recommended and my focusrite and IPad set is ready for worship tomorrow at our church. Thank you!! Keep doing these videos my friend.

You don’t need a hub. You can just use your charger that comes with your iPad. If you’re recording acoustic guitars with CONDENDER mics the FOCUSRITE has 48 volt phantom power. Your acoustic guitar ,and vocals will sound ten times better using a condenser mics. Why does EVERYONE say to use a hub. Use your regular iPad charger.
Hey there. It depends on the audio interface generally. Some will work fine with just the charger plugged in however some tend to use an inconsistent amount of power and need the powered hub. If you have an interface that gets enough power form the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter then you’re good to go. But folks who get the “this device uses too much power” message will need to simply add a hub to their setup. studiolivetoday.com/usb
@@PeteJohnsMusicI just tried to do lightning straight into the adapter + a behringer um2 into the adapter via usb. Doesn’t power the interface. So I’m guessing you are correct and I would need a hub for the power
@@PeteJohnsMusic what if the 3.0 hub you recommended was working but now it’s not? Just barely started saying that i need more power even with the hub.
Thanks you for this… Was thinking about adding a interface like either the UM or the Focusrite to my mobile recoding setup and needing the powered hub would have been a bummer!? Great vid still tho…
Hey Pete, loving the content on this channel, thanks! I’m considering between getting the 2020 base model vs 2020 iPad Air. Regarding the lightning connection situation on base model, is the only drawback just the inconvenience of having to use the additional lightning to usb converter? or does it have any other effects on playback sound quality or production performance in general, compared to having a direct usb c connection on the iPad?
Great question my friend. In my experience the only real difference is that you definitely need a genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter as opposed to USB-C where you can use pretty much any generic adapters. Once you have the connections converted to USB-A there is no difference in the reliability of the connection or quality of sound through any devices. Hope this helps your decision. studiolivetoday.com/ipad
Nice one. I think it will be a great iPad to get you recording. If you’re buying on Amazon feel free to use the affiliate links here - studiolivetoday.com/gear
Great video for recording only vocals. Now I'm strugling with record voice+piano at the same time (Focusrite, vocals on channel 1, piano on channel 2). It's only recording voice on Left and piano on Right.
Hey there. Yes, if you record the audio to GarageBand you can choose to record each channel as a mono channel. THe camera app will capture stereo and pan one left and one right. You can use something like LumaFusion to edit the audio or a video, or use a different video app. In short, two channel interfaces are basically just a stereo interface. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Quick question: what’s the difference in quality between using any of these interfaces vs using the iRig? Are interfaces a better translation of the sound than the iRig?
Hey there. So the iRig is pretty good these days. Probably not quite up to the quality of a dedicated USB interface. The difference is usually the quality of the preamp (less noise) and the converters (again, cleaner conversion).
Hi! I have a new iPad7 purchased a month ago, on which I use GarageBand connecting my electric guitar to a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen. audio interface, and this one to the iPad. I can hear myself while playing and/or recording if I use my headphones on the interface or/on the iPad. But I can't hear my guitar without headphones, as the iPad's internal speakers stop working. Even if I activate the “monitor” icon in GarageBand, the iPad doesn't sound. I have tried the two solutions that Apple offers on its website, in the troubleshooting section, in the section "GarageBand for IOS: Audio is not heard when monitoring an external device" I have tried both solutions and the problem remains unsolved. Thanks beforehand
Hey there my friend. So, in my experience once you plug in an audio interface this replaces the audio input and output, so I don’t believe there is a way to do this?
Thank you!!! I’ve been searching for weeks trying to find a connection video. All the other 10,000 videos lol showed the equipment and blah blah blah but this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Appreciate it!!! 💪🏾👏🏾
Pete, just to confirm this works for me thanks to your explanation and the sound is coming out both sides, not just one as you said might happen. My setup as follows : Ipad Air 2 Scarlett 2i2 Powered USB hub Genuine Apple Camera Adapter Many thanks, John
Hey on garage band, I can select input 2 with ease, but when wanting to play guitar while recording on the camera it only receives audio in one ear and I cant find a setting on the camera app as well as TikTok any suggestions?
My Scarlett 2i2 don’t work on my iPad or my iPhone 11 it makes this noise like a heartbeat and the light flashes where it says 48V And when I turn it off and still makes the same noise but lower
Just started using Scarlett 2i4 yesterday and ran into a similar issue. The order in which you hook up the Scarlett is important. Make sure nothing is plugged into the Scarlett or iPhone. First plug in the iPhone/iPad camera adapter 3 into device and make sure power is connected to it. Then connect the Scarlett to the camera adapter USB port. Make sure phantom power is not on when you connect or you will get a not enough power message. Once connected and powered you can then connect your inputs and use phantom power if needed. These steps need to repeated any time the Scarlett or iPhone/iPad is disconnected. Also, in my case no matter what order I tried (and I’m ocd when it comes to troubleshooting) the Scarlett would not power up properly when connected to a powered usb hub. I’m using a usb 2 Scarlett btw. I’ve read that the 3rd generation may not have drivers installed on the device as 1st and 2nd gen do as well just fyi.
Great job on an otherwise baffling subject (at least for me). I've recently retired and am called to try and compose some songs with my acoustic guitar. Had no idea how to hook up an interface and all of that stuff. I have an iPhone 8 plus and a recently purchased iPad pro. On top of all that I've been binge watching your channel to try and get up to speed with GarageBand IOS (you do a really good job with your tutorials). Thanks for all of your work and I'l be dipping my toe in the aforementioned waters soon.
I have a mixer with interface and I will like to connect my iPad to the mixer to manage video calls. I tried with that setup but didn't work. Any suggestions?
Hi there. You will need to make sure your interface/mixer is class compliant and you have the genuine Apple Lightning to USB adapter. It can also be difficult to record calls and get just one copy of both sides of the conversation. This is called a “mix minus” if you want t research it more.
Hey so I did everything you recommended using the Focusrite interface but now for some reason when I play my tracks - the beats I’ll be singing to - they sound all distorted. Usually I play them in the background from my iTunes and I also tried importing them to see if that would fix the issue but they sound terrible. When I disconnect everything they sound normal again so I know it’s not the tracks themselves. Any suggestions?? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Howdy. I’ve replied to this on your other comment asking for a little more information. Where are the sounds you are importing being sourced from? And if you import them and play back are they still sounding distorted by themselves?
Hello , generally the interfaces don’t have an usb in , what I want to say is , I have a blue yeti microphone the cable has an usb plug , I can connect it into my iPhone without use any interface or the power usb , just using the small white hub that you have , works fine , but I would like better quality, so I have been informed that I need an interface , but how to connect my mic on it ? Thank you
Thank you so much Pete! I've been researching to connect an audio interface to my iPad for a while and I wasn't fully satisfied with any of the videos/blogs until I came to yours. Great video!
Thank you so much, I was beginning to think I purchased the wrong device. I didn’t see you use the external power bank with the Focusrite so I’m assuming that’s a no go. Thanks again!
Thank you for this great video. I had so many questions in getting an audio interface for my iPad. Trouble finding answers online. This video gave me everything I needed to know and more.
Thanks for this😅 .. it led me on the right path. Bought a NI audio 2 for music, love the design. But after seeing this video I realised it wasn't class compliant. I liked it so much I was just going to keep it and buy a mobile version for streaming to iPhone/iPad. Was going to buy the Irig but sold out everywhere. Swapped over to the Roland GO mixer 1st but then upgraded myself to the Roland GoLive Cast. Saw another review saying the app that controls it sucks, so I escaped that one also. Bottom line, I am sending the Audio2 back, and have ordered the Steinberg Ur 22 Mk2 Happy days .. well kind of .. stay safe all🙏
Question for you Rock Steady or Pete. I am thinking of getting the UR22 as well but my mic's have xlr ends. What type of mic inputs are on that thing? I can't tell from the pictures or descriptions. Will my regular mics work on this unit?
I have an iPhone X. Tried to connect my Behringer UM-2 interface (love it!) to GarageBand. I used a powered USB 4-port USB 3 hub, an Apple Lightning to USB cable (not the wide one). GarageBand let me pick the channel on the interface, and I could see it was getting a signal, but with no headphone out on the phone I couldn't hear it. I tried USB earbuds but as soon as they connected, the UM-2 disconnected. Something I haven't found in the phone only allows one or the other, not both, to be active. So I guess I need to stick with my iRig interface until I get a different phone. Very good video, I like how you showed several interfaces and options. I got very close to making it work!
Update: tried again today, it all works now. No bluetooth needed; sound plays from the audio interface into my headphones. Not sure what changed since yesterday, maybe a monitor setting, but sound is very good. Nice to be able to start a GarageBand drummer and play along, using amps and effects in the phone. Also tried connecting an XLR mic and my keyboard (via USB hub) and it worked seamlessly, all at the same time. It's easy to capture ideas now from any source and build into different tracks. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Glad you got this sorted my friend. I would have just suggested unplugging and turning off then re-plugging. Even after years of experience I still come across weird and random occurrences like this.
This is a fantastic video. I just want to play my guitar ... and sometimes the technical aspects of recording get frustrating. Your video really answered most of the questions for a technically challenged musician! Thanks, John
Wow...I wish I would have discovered this video a couple years ago! this setup would be perfect for what I am trying to accomplish. Great content. Killer vid. THANKS.

Awesome! Very glad I was able to help. Happy recording. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Pete Johns I watch a lot of your videos for information. Your video of the iRig to iPad was my first one at the beginning of the year. Ever since then, I subscribed and have been a fan of your channel! Rock on!
Brilliant video. Only issue I’m having with all this is I would like to record all of this onto DAW on my laptop. How would I go about that using this set up?
Hey there. Going through your iOS device and then out to a DAW on a desktop? You’ll just need to send the output from an audio interface to the input of a second interface on your other device. The Behringer UCA222 is good for this.
Bought the two products from the links you recommended to connect to my Presonus 24c and it works perfectly. Thank you so much for this amazing review.
I really enjoyed and learned a lot on your GarageBand guitar tutorial. I have to go and see the rest of your GarageBand tutorials. I am still having a difficult time deciding on whether to buy a mixer, a multichannel audio interface or both. Trying to connect my akai force and maschine mikro Mk3.
Glad to hear my friend. I suggest checking out my "GarageBand Essentials" playlist for some videos that might really help you out. th-cam.com/video/j0M3wnjaKIo/w-d-xo.html
First off... LOVE the videos, they are helping me out so much... Quick question though, if I use a USB 3 adapter would I just be able to plug the lighting cable into it and use that as power? Eliminating a need for a USB power hub?
This will work with some iPhones and iPads but not all. And sometimes you’ll get random “this device uses too much power” errors. This is why I always recommend the powered hub.
Hi Pete! Thank you!!! Problem solved! Got high quality STEREO audio from my djm mixer in recording video finally. Seems like Moviepro the only video recording app with stereo sound via external usb interface features I found so far. Best!
Hi, I was able to buy a new scarlett 2i2 ( 3d gen) after my 2 gen was damaged by dropping on the floor☺️ i have a powered usb hub and usb wires but i notice that the 3d gen scarlett 2i2 power thing or where you have to connect the power is not the same as the 2gen, and there is no power wire in the box or its not the same gray wire as the 2gen had, iv have taken a break from recording and was ready to start after buying a new scarlett but it seems the 3gen is diffrent, you make quality, friendly, and overall great content, i think i got a great acustic cover from you on my recomend, i forgot the song lol but its always nice to hear new songs 🙃
Hey Oscar! Thanks for the kind words. Yes, the Gen 2 and Gen 1 Focusrite interfaces use USB-C connectors, while the Gen 3 uses USB-C - the smaller connector. You can still use in a similar way, you'll just need different cables and adapters - th-cam.com/video/3Zyb1ISy3wk/w-d-xo.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic oh ok, think I can find some workaround, and I know there is an app store nearby in my area in norway I could ask if I cant get it to work I am not really talented at recording or production but I try to improve all the time and learn and I though since I was unlucky that my last one fell at the floor that I kind of get a fresh start and record with a clearer or more crisp sound, sometimes I guess I just need to have the discipline and focus at one thing at the time, but thanks for the replayI think what seperates you from other youtubers is that you replay on every video (which is a good thing :-). ) I will be sure to recomend your channel to other people I know who use ios and garageband, have a nice day.
Works great for video too. Just keep in mind that if you use a two channel interface it will put the audio on one side with if plugged in to one input so you may need to edit the audio to mono afterwards.
There is always going to be a b of latency if you’re using monitoring via an audio interface. I personally find it pretty low with GarageBand on iPad and iPhone. Http://studiolivetoday.com/garageband
Hey there. Should work in a very simple way. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Absolutely brilliant video. Answers so many questions so clearly. Subscribed! Can I just ask what is the process for using a Spark amp instead of an interface? Can I do that? How do I get Garageband to recognise the Spark?
Hey there. I haven’t actually used the Spark but I believe it can work as an audio interface. My friend Jade Starr has one and has covered it so maybe search out some of her videos?
Hello. Great video. Thank you. Question. Can you also link video for example iglive streams. I’m trying to go from my dj mixer into an interface then into the iPhone.

Having trouble. Got a Tendak USB 3.0 Hub. Trying to run it on my 12 mini, IOS 17.1.2, with Garageband 2.3.15 (5262). Using an M-Audio Soundcard (Fast Track). And a cheap USB to lightning dongle. Garageband is not picking up the soundcard. Thinking I’ll try the usb to lightning adapter you’re using. It’s worth a try! Thanks for posting!
Hey there. Yeah, sounds like the weak point there might be your Lightning to USB adapter. The genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter is reliable, but others - not so much! studiolivetoday.com/usb
@@PeteJohnsMusic The adapter will have to go on my wishlist for now. Too many bills. I’ve generally had bad experience though getting any headset mic to work through line in connection daisychained to lightning plug on Iphone 12. Apple took away the headphone jack and been trying to get people to switch to mostly bluetooth devices for audio input on iphone 12. It’s like they don’t want us using wired headsets or soundcards anymore. It’s just the built in mic on the iphone or a bluetooth device.
Here’s the gear I use in this demonstration:
1. Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter - imp.i114863.net/xMRB1
or amzn.to/2wnyqmL
2. Tendak powered USB 3.0 hub - amzn.to/2oeOyqu

Hey there. Yes, if you record the audio to GarageBand you can choose to record each channel as a mono channel. THe camera app will capture stereo and pan one left and one right. You can use something like LumaFusion to edit the audio or a video, or use a different video app. In short, two channel interfaces are basically just a stereo interface. studiolivetoday.com/usb
Quick question: what’s the difference in quality between using any of these interfaces vs using the iRig? Are interfaces a better translation of the sound than the iRig?
Hey there. So the iRig is pretty good these days. Probably not quite up to the quality of a dedicated USB interface. The difference is usually the quality of the preamp (less noise) and the converters (again, cleaner conversion).
Hi!
I have a new iPad7 purchased a month ago, on which I use GarageBand connecting my electric guitar to a
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen. audio interface, and this one to the iPad. I can hear myself while playing and/or
recording if I use my headphones on the interface or/on the iPad. But I can't hear my guitar without
headphones, as the iPad's internal speakers stop working. Even if I activate the “monitor” icon in GarageBand,
the iPad doesn't sound. I have tried the two solutions that Apple offers on its website, in the troubleshooting
section, in the section "GarageBand for IOS: Audio is not heard when monitoring an external device" I have
tried both solutions and the problem remains unsolved.
Thanks beforehand
Hey there my friend. So, in my experience once you plug in an audio interface this replaces the audio input and output, so I don’t believe there is a way to do this?
Thank you!!! I’ve been searching for weeks trying to find a connection video. All the other 10,000 videos lol showed the equipment and blah blah blah but this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Appreciate it!!! 💪🏾👏🏾
Awesome! Very glad to hear. Welcome to the community my friend. studiolivetoday.com
Hi Pete, very explanatory content again, thx. One question here: how do you cope with recording latency to the GB click?
Hey there. I haven’t experienced a whole lot of latency with this setup. I find it quite low.
@@PeteJohnsMusic are all 3 devices the same regarding latency? Cheers
in my country there’s no any usb hub that requires power to the wall. is that going to work with my ipad?
It may not provide enough power to run your devices if it is not an A/C powered hub.
Pete, just to confirm this works for me thanks to your explanation and the sound is coming out both sides, not just one as you said might happen. My setup as follows :
Ipad Air 2
Scarlett 2i2
Powered USB hub
Genuine Apple Camera Adapter
Many thanks, John
Awesome! Great to hear John. 🙏
How come I cannot hear the audio when it’s plugged in?
Might need to monitor the audio either through your interface or your software.
So when I plug the interface into the iPad I dont get a message on the iPad acknowledging audio device
Hey there. Check out this video for my troubleshooting tips for this - th-cam.com/video/gwNqV1W3fPU/w-d-xo.html
Hey on garage band, I can select input 2 with ease, but when wanting to play guitar while recording on the camera it only receives audio in one ear and I cant find a setting on the camera app as well as TikTok any suggestions?
Yup. You’ll need to either use the app which came with your interface to make the audio mono, or fix this in editing using something like LumaFusion.
My Scarlett 2i2 don’t work on my iPad or my iPhone 11 it makes this noise like a heartbeat and the light flashes where it says 48V And when I turn it off and still makes the same noise but lower
Sounds like a power issue? Are you using a powered USB hub? This video might help - th-cam.com/video/gwNqV1W3fPU/w-d-xo.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic I am using the power connector on the iPad power cord and plug
@@BadKarma714 did u fix it? I got the same issue
You guys need a POWERED usb hub - it should be self powered.
Just started using Scarlett 2i4 yesterday and ran into a similar issue. The order in which you hook up the Scarlett is important. Make sure nothing is plugged into the Scarlett or iPhone. First plug in the iPhone/iPad camera adapter 3 into device and make sure power is connected to it. Then connect the Scarlett to the camera adapter USB port. Make sure phantom power is not on when you connect or you will get a not enough power message. Once connected and powered you can then connect your inputs and use phantom power if needed. These steps need to repeated any time the Scarlett or iPhone/iPad is disconnected. Also, in my case no matter what order I tried (and I’m ocd when it comes to troubleshooting) the Scarlett would not power up properly when connected to a powered usb hub. I’m using a usb 2 Scarlett btw. I’ve read that the 3rd generation may not have drivers installed on the device as 1st and 2nd gen do as well just fyi.
Great job on an otherwise baffling subject (at least for me). I've recently retired and am called to try and compose some songs with my acoustic guitar. Had no idea how to hook up an interface and all of that stuff. I have an iPhone 8 plus and a recently purchased iPad pro. On top of all that I've been binge watching your channel to try and get up to speed with GarageBand IOS (you do a really good job with your tutorials). Thanks for all of your work and I'l be dipping my toe in the aforementioned waters soon.
Excellent Kip! Great to hear my friend. Keep this link handy as it’s my FAQ for all things GarageBand iOS - studiolivetoday.com/garageband
I have a mixer with interface and I will like to connect my iPad to the mixer to manage video calls. I tried with that setup but didn't work. Any suggestions?
Hi there. You will need to make sure your interface/mixer is class compliant and you have the genuine Apple Lightning to USB adapter. It can also be difficult to record calls and get just one copy of both sides of the conversation. This is called a “mix minus” if you want t research it more.
Very good 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey so I did everything you recommended using the Focusrite interface but now for some reason when I play my tracks - the beats I’ll be singing to - they sound all distorted. Usually I play them in the background from my iTunes and I also tried importing them to see if that would fix the issue but they sound terrible. When I disconnect everything they sound normal again so I know it’s not the tracks themselves. Any suggestions?? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Howdy. I’ve replied to this on your other comment asking for a little more information. Where are the sounds you are importing being sourced from? And if you import them and play back are they still sounding distorted by themselves?
Thanks so much! After 2+ days of failed attempts your video guided me to a successful connection. Happy thoughts your way!
Awesome!! Glad to hear. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Hello , generally the interfaces don’t have an usb in , what I want to say is , I have a blue yeti microphone the cable has an usb plug , I can connect it into my iPhone without use any interface or the power usb , just using the small white hub that you have , works fine , but I would like better quality, so I have been informed that I need an interface , but how to connect my mic on it ? Thank you
Hi there. You either need to connect a USB mic or an interface and use a standard XLR mic. Unfortunately there is no way to use both in iOS.
All the adaptors and need for power defeat the beauty of a mobile device. Wish there was a good all In one iOS audio interface
And there is! The iRig Pro I/O - th-cam.com/video/KL7dlCqYxic/w-d-xo.html

Thank you so much Pete! I've been researching to connect an audio interface to my iPad for a while and I wasn't fully satisfied with any of the videos/blogs until I came to yours. Great video!
Wonderful to hear. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
Thank you so much, I was beginning to think I purchased the wrong device. I didn’t see you use the external power bank with the Focusrite so I’m assuming that’s a no go. Thanks again!

Awesome! Really glad to hear my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Thanks for this😅 .. it led me on the right path. Bought a NI audio 2 for music, love the design. But after seeing this video I realised it wasn't class compliant. I liked it so much I was just going to keep it and buy a mobile version for streaming to iPhone/iPad. Was going to buy the Irig but sold out everywhere. Swapped over to the Roland GO mixer 1st but then upgraded myself to the Roland GoLive Cast. Saw another review saying the app that controls it sucks, so I escaped that one also. Bottom line, I am sending the Audio2 back, and have ordered the Steinberg Ur 22 Mk2 Happy days .. well kind of .. stay safe all🙏
Thanks for sharing your experience. I think you’ll be very happy with the Stienberg. 👍
Question for you Rock Steady or Pete. I am thinking of getting the UR22 as well but my mic's have xlr ends. What type of mic inputs are on that thing? I can't tell from the pictures or descriptions. Will my regular mics work on this unit?

I have an iPhone X. Tried to connect my Behringer UM-2 interface (love it!) to GarageBand. I used a powered USB 4-port USB 3 hub, an Apple Lightning to USB cable (not the wide one). GarageBand let me pick the channel on the interface, and I could see it was getting a signal, but with no headphone out on the phone I couldn't hear it. I tried USB earbuds but as soon as they connected, the UM-2 disconnected. Something I haven't found in the phone only allows one or the other, not both, to be active. So I guess I need to stick with my iRig interface until I get a different phone. Very good video, I like how you showed several interfaces and options. I got very close to making it work!
Update: tried again today, it all works now. No bluetooth needed; sound plays from the audio interface into my headphones. Not sure what changed since yesterday, maybe a monitor setting, but sound is very good. Nice to be able to start a GarageBand drummer and play along, using amps and effects in the phone. Also tried connecting an XLR mic and my keyboard (via USB hub) and it worked seamlessly, all at the same time. It's easy to capture ideas now from any source and build into different tracks. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Glad you got this sorted my friend. I would have just suggested unplugging and turning off then re-plugging. Even after years of experience I still come across weird and random occurrences like this.
With the power bank does it have to be plugged into the wall? I’m trying to do this all mobile without anything being in the wall.
You can use a mobile battery instead.

Brilliant video. Only issue I’m having with all this is I would like to record all of this onto DAW on my laptop. How would I go about that using this set up?
Hey there. Going through your iOS device and then out to a DAW on a desktop? You’ll just need to send the output from an audio interface to the input of a second interface on your other device. The Behringer UCA222 is good for this.
Thanks for this video, does this method also power the ipad?

Yes. It should work fine. You may need to unplug and re-plug your audio gear when you are in the app.
First off... LOVE the videos, they are helping me out so much...
Quick question though, if I use a USB 3 adapter would I just be able to plug the lighting cable into it and use that as power? Eliminating a need for a USB power hub?
This will work with some iPhones and iPads but not all. And sometimes you’ll get random “this device uses too much power” errors. This is why I always recommend the powered hub.
thank you. do you think ssl 12 will work on iPad too?

Hey Oscar! Thanks for the kind words. Yes, the Gen 2 and Gen 1 Focusrite interfaces use USB-C connectors, while the Gen 3 uses USB-C - the smaller connector. You can still use in a similar way, you'll just need different cables and adapters - th-cam.com/video/3Zyb1ISy3wk/w-d-xo.html

Works great for video too. Just keep in mind that if you use a two channel interface it will put the audio on one side with if plugged in to one input so you may need to edit the audio to mono afterwards.

Garageband is not picking up the soundcard. Thinking I’ll try the usb to lightning adapter you’re using. It’s worth a try! Thanks for posting!
Hey there. Yeah, sounds like the weak point there might be your Lightning to USB adapter. The genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter is reliable, but others - not so much! studiolivetoday.com/usb
@@PeteJohnsMusic The adapter will have to go on my wishlist for now. Too many bills. I’ve generally had bad experience though getting any headset mic to work through line in connection daisychained to lightning plug on Iphone 12. Apple took away the headphone jack and been trying to get people to switch to mostly bluetooth devices for audio input on iphone 12. It’s like they don’t want us using wired headsets or soundcards anymore. It’s just the built in mic on the iphone or a bluetooth device.
Amazing thanks! What about the ai-1 interface?
