Beans most excellently chilled here, Doug. Stan is definitely the man for hooking you up with this Scarlett interface, so big thumbs up for you, Stan 😎👍. I opted for the 6i6 because in addition to midi, it also allows for optical input for an ART tube mic preamp and compressor I plan to use for vocals and acoustic guitar. This demo is nice because you can really hear the difference between the Behringer Xenyx preamp vs the Scarlett when you switch your vocal mic. Subtle, perhaps, but the Focusrite just has more presence. Top job! 😊✌️

Thank you for providing we newbies the ways around this equipment and all. I have a Scarlett 2i4 (1st Gen) connected to my Windows laptop for my DAW, AmpliTube 4, Sample Tank, Syntronik, and Korg M1. Due to this fine channel - "thesoundtestroom" - I now have an little collection of synthesizers on my iPad as well. Got to have the best of both worlds! My next project is to buy the Apple camera connector in order to connect my Novation 49 to the iPad & 2i4 to record to my DAW/play through my audio system.

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

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

@JeremyDelValle-368 8 ай бұрын

I think this is along the lines of what you were saying, when I want to record using my cannon rebel8i I got a rode mic and plugged it in, the camera assumes its going to be on so it doesn't capture sound and then then I don't turn the rode mic on so essentially all sound is negated by that little trick. then you can get your trusty 2i2 or what have you and record into logic, or, again, whatever you may run, the only finicky part is lining up the video and audio in capcut if you're using apple.

Friendly question: Is it absolutely necessary to have an USB Hub around for Phantom Power, though? Or can the setup survive without one? Can it be possible to connect a Scarlett interface without one and still be able to supply the required voltage to condenser microphones? Would be there any risk if there's no USB Hub in between? Thanks!

@mnorton1964 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you for this. Really, really helpful. So glad to learn that I can use my 2i2 with my iPad Pro. Just one question - in terms of the audio why not route all the instruments the other way round - i.e. through the behringer mixer and as a stereo out into the 2i2? Wouldn't that give you more audio input options and save on the powered usb hub?

@TheSoundTestRoom 5 жыл бұрын

Mike Norton Yes, I could have done it like that, actually that mixer is a full USB Audio Interface on it’s own, don’t even need the Scarlett, I have a video on it somewhere on the channel and also using another smaller Behringer USB Mixer too, however even then I would still need to use the Powered hub, no other way to use midi controllers with the iPad at the same time as an Audio Interface. But the biggest problem is if I just use the mixers as the Audio Interface it become complicated when making the videos

@mnorton1964 5 жыл бұрын

thesoundtestroom Thank you for your reply... which has really got me thinking. What I’m trying to do is record my band. All our instruments and vocals go through a Behringer USB Xenyx mixer (the 2222 I think). Are you saying I could just plug that straight into my iPad via the camera connector and record straight into GarageBand? Would I need to tell the iPad to use the mixer as a sound input? Sorry for the questions, but I’m finding my way through this mixing minefield!

I have a couple of older USB 2 hubs (powered and unpowered), and a first gen scarlett 18i8. I am using a iPad pro with the new apple camera kit powered adapter. I can get audio to/from the Scarlet and iPad when I just use the camera kit (without usb hub). I can get usb midi from keyboard when I just use the camera kit with/without the older USB2 hub. But...when I use the older USB2 hubs, I can not get the audio from the first gen scarlett 18i8, to be recognized by my iPad pro. I have tried resetting/rebooting my iPad, scarlet, and USB hubs, but scarlett just wont pass audio to iPad, through the USB2 hubs. Have you heard of this problem before? I am ordering a new USB3 powered hub, and hope this will fix the problem.
