We appreciate your thoroughness, Jakob! 😈

Just tested a zoom h4n as a usb audio interface and it works!

You can connect as many USB Audio interfaces as you want! The problem is not the iPad, it is the app used, It is easy if you use Audiobus 3. If you still want to use AUM you can redirect to Audiobus without any problem using an Audiobus Output.

As an iOS developer, I also recommend buying only original Apple USB adapters, it's not worth it. Thanks!

Good video. And it backups what I was I was experiencing. We need aggregate devices on iPad!

Can you ADAT two interfaces together with the host interface to a computer and the adat extension interface with an ipad hooked to it and still get access to all ins and outs?

I arrived at this one via a search for using two audio interfaces. That happened because I made the typical mistake of buying an interface with only one input, finding, later, that I need two. So I have a Volt 1 with a single input and an Arturia Mini Fuse 2 with two inputs and two outputs, which is really what I needed, in the first place.

This is good info. I was going to try this out myself and suspected it would not work. Thanks for confirming!

Audiobus3 supports iOS built in audio ,plus a usb interface . Sometimes it’s useful for monitoring :)

I know this video is about USB Audio, but it is possible to connect multiple devices to iPad using Bluetooth. BT doesn’t work for audio for the purposes of making music due to unacceptable latency, but it works perfectly for MIDI transmissions (with a good device). I bought Yamaha UD-BT01 USB to BT adapter recently and that thing has virtually no latency. I only have one, but I think you can have more of them connected because it allows for renaming of the device. So, my keyboard is hooked up via BT at all times now and the plug on the iPad is free to plug in audio interface and headphone jack is for speakers/headphones... cable clutter is pleasantly reduced to minimum. Without this adapter I kind of had to choose between having a guitar or keyboard plugged in. I got an Apoge audio interface with a single guitar jack and this whole setup is very mobile friendly. Also I have a Zoom H1n (pretty mobile-friendly) that works as a standalone mic or can be hooked up directly as an audio interface with the iPad. When hooked up to the iPad it disables onboard mic and headphone jack, so you have to use the headphone jack in the H1n, and the stereo mic on the H1n becomes available to the iPad. You can also plug in another mic into H1n, and maybe even an electric guitar, but I’m not sure about guitar because the audio output of guitar pickups might not be optimal. I haven’t tested H1n with latest usb-c iPads because I don’t have one (nor have any intention of getting one), but I think it should work similarly.

Thanks, Jakob. This has been at the top of my wishlist for years. It would be great to be able to plug up my audio interface, opz, and elektron model samples and be able to use them all strictly over USB audio. Maybe some day.

Very interesting video. thank you Jacob. what is the easiest way to send audio from one ipad to another? can you send audio via lightning-to-lightning cable?

Thanks for another informative Vid Jakob. I'd wondered about this one. So, I have 4 stereo signals I want to connect into my ipad to record without having to keep swapping cables. Can you (or anyone) suggest a decent but inexpensive way of doing this?

thanks jacob ! as usual very useful. i’d like to use the output of my modular mixer in an audio interface ( or else , as small as possible and no computer involved ) to add some limiter and compression. any advice ladies and gentlemen ?

7:30 Fun fact… 16.5 fckd up with the original USB adapter… the only ones working are the cheapy ones

Love ya mate!

a lot... A LOT ... AAAA LOOOOT useful as always... thx Jakob!!!

Hi Jakob , I've been watching your channel quite a while now and always look forward to it. This is the first time I've posted a reply and I'll have to apologize in advance for its length but believe it or not I really did try to edit it down. I run a Casio Privia PX-310 (5 pin midi only) to an i-Rig MIDI 2 interface and then to a Startech 3.0 7 port powered USB hub. Also: I run a Studiologic SL-88 via USB to the hub and then the hub connects to a Steinberg UR22MKll interface via USB and the Steinberg connects to my I-pad via Apple Lightning to USB 3 camera adpt. Both the i-Rig2 and the Steinberg are recognized in AUM at the same time.( no problem, just have to get the routing right)I also run from the thru port on the i-Rig MIDI 2 to a Roland SC-55 Sound Canvas which I can then play from the Casio. The audio outs from the Casio, Roland and the Steinberg all go to a Mackie 1202-VLZ Pro Mixer. To record audio to the Ipad from the Casio or Roland I then run line outs from the Mackie to the Steinberg.( Just have to remember to set the mixer channel receiving audio from the Steinberg to zero to avoid a feedback loop) I also have used this same duel interface set-up using an i-RIg PRO DUO Interface in place of the Steinberg before I got it. But now if I want to record video to my Samsung phone with decent audio I can run the whole system from the line outs of the Mackie to the line ins on the i-Rig PRO DUO and connect directly to my Samsung phone via O.T.G. cable. ( 3 interfaces total) As far as I can tell the i-Rig PRO DUO is the only interface out there that supports O.T.G. which my model Samsung phone requires. The i-Rig Midi 2 interface is quite inexpensive and has 5-pin Midi IN-OUT+THRU to USB ports. The UR22MKll and the SL-88 have both 5-pin and USB MIDI ports which comes in handy if you have some older keyboards like I do that I sometimes like to add to the mix. I still have a DX-7, TX-81Z, RD-600 + even an old Wirly. Or, if I want to strip down to portable, I can use just the i-Rig PRO DUO with my i-Rig PRO KEYS( both with batteries) and my I-pad. I hope some of this was of interest and again, sorry it went on so long.

It’s 2022 and with the latest M1 iPad Pro it’s still not possible to switch between output USB audio devices… such a weird limitation for a “pro” device. And it’s not that it’s not possible to switch between audio interfaces in general on an iPad. Switching between on-iPad and bluetooth or AirPlay is very possible and easy. It’s just USB switching that’s not supported. So weird.

Always great, always useful!

Its also 1 in and 1 out. So if you are streaming to HDMI using an adapter and then plug in a USB device to use as input, but it also provides output you lose audio on HDMI!

I just get MiniDSP MCHStreamer (expensive now in EU) or Behringer UMC1820. Basically something USB class compliant with ADAT input and output. Then I can route this ADATs where I need (some non compliant device, non USB device, Retro PC computer with ADAT running Windows 98SE or XP, etc.)

Subbed to your live stream channel dude 👍

Can you daisy chain to a Mac through IDAM? For instance, older iPad as an instrument into AUM then on to a Mac through IDAM? In other words, does IDAM count as an audio interface from the iPad’s point of view?

Hope you don’t mind me asking a question on an older video... Only one audio input on an ipad, cool... BUT, can you connect another USB device (keyboard, etc.) at the same time you have that audio interface connected?

Exactly the problem I've been struggling with the past weeks (with an audiohub 2x4 and an irig pro i/o).

That was interesting- I’ve wondered about that. I’ll give your new channel a sub. :)

Do you think that is still the cases these days? on a USB C iPad Pro for example?

Great Job! 😀 👊

Great! Live Haq! I’m in...

Great video! Have you tried connecting multiple interfaces via ADAT optical? Maybe you could chain interfaces that way if they offer that type of connection.

Very interesting to me: is there a current list with iOS compatible audio interfaces with more inputs, for example for recording multiple hardware synths at the same time?

MacOS cannot either, at least in the past it couldn't. I used to have to use a routing application like Soundflower to make it work.

so can you use an audio interface, and a midi interface on one hub? or does audio and midi have to be contained in one interface ?

If I have one audio interface with two inputs can I have a different inputs for each channel in aum .

Thanks a lot for all videos Haq. Please I can’t find any answer to multiple outputs..for example, Can I use some audio interface for output master sound live played and second output for another channel preparing trough headphones? When I connect speakers trough jack and headphones trough usb, same switching to last connected happened...

I wish it were possible to simply select which interface to use in iOS. I have two devices connected to my USB hub that are both technically interfaces, but I only use one for that. I just want to send midi to the other one. As it stands, the one I don’t want to use always supersedes my actual interface for no known reason. Pretty lame.

I have a question regarding the charging iOS devices through the USB hub and still have audio interface functioning. Does it charging actually working?

I use 3rd party usb c dongle with hdmi plus headphone out but I prefer use scarlett solo 3rd gen connected to that dongle to my 2018 iPad Pro. the iOS auto detect thing is pretty annoying sometimes; especially when I decided to unplug the charge to avoid iPadPro overcharging the device. sometimes I got unpleasant gound noise/hum when the IPadPro reach 100%; and there come the auto switch audio to hdmi/scarlett or ipad speaker. anyone experience the same thing here? just sharing. anyway great video sir Jacob Haq. thank you :D

I have a Elektron Model:Samples and I tell ya it sucks not being able to use its class compliant usb audio to go in the iPad then to my scarlet 2i4 out, the audio default routes to the samples out from the iPad which means I also can’t sync midi over usb this way and use the Scarlett, I play guitar and do vocals and didgeridoo while jamming so this is a downfall and is the reason for more iOS devices

Tackar!😉🙏🏾

Nice!

Aaaah.. just a few days ago I tried to connect Bluetooth and USB to same keyboard, and it didn't recognize the USB.. I guess I gotta try again with just one :)

Hey Jacob! i know this problem when i try to connect my ModelCycels and my Guitare Zoom3gx effect pedal. aum reconize only one audio interface, is there a Solotion? should i buy an additional audio interface? many thanks

This was 3 years ago. Has it changed?

Hy . Can i use the ua-202 with rmx-1000 ipad app, and send and return from and to a xone92 mixer?

what’s that brush you use?

2 I know how to use Apple bass phrases, or edit them to tap tempo or auto tempo Apple choice to a song,no...but, I would like to use, my own sample wav or midi basslines of 1-2 bars to MIDI TRIGGER BEATHAWK OR GADGET BASS LOOPS TO ONE FINGER MIDI RECORD, OR WAV AUDIO TRACK REC. RIGHT NOW, I PLAY EVERY NOTE,...OTHER ISSUES TO COVER REALATED COYKD BE VIRTUAL BASS AMPS TO USE IN MERGED TRACKS,..WHY APPLE BASS MIDI WILL NOT COPY N PAST TO AN IOS/AU TRACK TO PLAY,..& why, MINIMAC WILL NOT OPEN MY IPAD .BAND FILE. I DID GET NEW IPAD THIS WEEK, NOT THE 4GIG RAM 11” Pro, but, Hexacore 2019 Mini with new Apple 7 sound chips, so, it can handle Cubasis 2. Better than iPad mini 4 2015,..I think the stereo is better and sound quality. But, new IPhone XR, has frisking 4 GIG RAM! ..this is what I will use now, unless I won Lottery tonight! ; ) .. I see no point to buy CB3 yet 4 me, ..will wait til sale, bugs are ironed out...then, Perhaps. What do I reccomend for Guitar rec input: ANALOG TO DIGITAL OR 3,5 mm audio jack, which pro doesn’t have.btw ppl USE A IPHONE AS PREAMP EQ VST AMP TO USE LESS IPAD RAM? ..and import the wav, rather to mix in? okej, so, many questions, I could go on with more, like bass stuff,but, u get the gist of topic request in general now...,then, there r drums....midi rec or wav? ..CB2.28...drums sound good and wide stereo makes them wider...so, much to discuss! Bet, Kong Gadget Kkts sound awesome with that Maximizer push control booster. Also, will try STARK KB BOARD ROOM..FOR DRUMS? .., i am iRigKeys/Akai mini KB orientated, I prefer to put in BackPack to play bass n drums, my fingers and eyes r used to,I prefer for DYNAMICS with Midi or sample players,..not Pad user much, but, love Apple GB drum kits...I actually sat and could transfer that visual kit/aural knowledge to play a ROLAND HI Q PRO DRUMS, WITH STICKS N PEDALS IN MUSIC DRUMSHOP! ..real kit is best; more variation of strikes, ECT,..but, if u can read drum tab, play a iPad kit,..u can audiate sounds to real kit,know, what timbre n groove will sound like as u,slowly Kearney to play real eDrums,..do, in FUTURE,..BUT, IN APT SETTING U NEED EARPHONES...LOL! Life is what it is, u use what u got,..Huh? Thankyou Jakob for fine vid tut, reviews n Ambient Solo songs.Bye. Adios, folks!

If you have a USB hub, I don't see why not.
