Hello, I don’t know why but my ipad cannot record any guitar lick I try. My interface picks it up and I can hear what’s playing through it but my ipad isn’t picking it up whatsoever. Maybe there is a setting I’m missing or something i do not know but it’s getting to me. I’m using the M track solo

As a beginner guitar player I've heard it’s a good idea to record yourself and listen to the playback to see where you need to improve. Given that basis, I'm thinking of purchasing something like the Focusrite 2i2 or Solo to connect my guitar to my ipad air 4 via the usb-c and use GarageBand to record. However, the audio interfaces are powered from the ipad usb-c port. Has anybody any idea how long the ipad battery will last while powering the input and running GarageBand? Would it be better to use an audio interface that has its own power connector, and if so, what would b3 a good one (on performance par with the Focusrite units?

Hooking up Squire strat to ipad via Tascam iXZ works fine. However, hooking up strat to ipad via Steinberg UR22C audio interface (using powered hub) causes significant hum. Hum disappears when i touch audio interface, guitar strings or metal ends of guitar cord. Hum gets worse if i use the hi-z option on the audio interface. Is there a way around this or stick with the lower quality iXZ for electrical guitar recordings? I suppose noise gate in GB is always an option. Just want to make sure i'm not going to end up getting zapped with electrical current.

Hi! I’ve just bought a 10th gen. iPad. The only way to use GarageBand with a microphone while I’m using my earphones is to use my iRig 2. However, when I connect the iRig to the iPad the volume goes up to the max. I’ve tried moving the volume wheel on the iRig, with no effect. Besides, when I connect the earphones to the iPad (no iRig this time) it doesn’t let me use the built-in microphone. Do I need to change anything on the settings of the iPad? Thank you.

First of all, thanks for your video. For information, I use a ipad-air USB-C and an audio interface Behringer 204 HD. SO , a usb-b to usb-c cable (therefore: original output from the Behringer interface to ipad air input) works perfectly. The power supplied by the ipad is sufficient, no problem in use.
