I had the same USB C adaptor from another company and had no power consumption issues with the PD port, but it really heated up and affected performance when doing heavy duty stuff. So I just got the big Anker 11-in-1 USB C hub, but be careful of the power load as Anker told me most of their hubs need at least 15w to function all the ports and the offset will go to the PD pass through. However, if that offset isn’t enough to power a connected device - it won’t. They advised me to get a more powerful power plug instead of the 20w Apple OEM plug. I ordered the Anker Nano 3, hopefully that fixes my power issues.

Interesting video, thank you! Please let me ask you about audio output. You have set your Arturia soundcard to Anker hub. What was happened with Anker's 3.5mm jack output at that time? Was it disabled or both headphone outputs (Anker, Arturia) are active at the same time? I have no idea how it works especially for GarageBand where you can set almost nothing. The best scenario for me is that connected Arturia takes all audio to itself.

Thanks for a very informative video! I have an iPad Pro 11” 2022. For music and video production, can you recommend a USB-C Hub? My iPad has a Targus case. Some hubs are reported to have a 3mm Headphone Socket that doesn’t allow volume control. Some hubs wear out the iPad battery faster. Any recommendations?

@rowlanddexter4110 11 ай бұрын

Hi you mentioned that the new design allowed for the IPad to be in a case, I assume this means the connector is longer than the original? I had to used an additional cable to go between the IPad and the original version of the hub because of the thickness of the case I have. Not needing the need the cable would be great.

Thanks for the video. This is going to sound like a super dumb question but I am a newbie to using GarageBand in general and a newbie in connecting MIDI keyboards to an iPad Pro, so please moderate flamer use please! I so far connect said iPad to said keyboard using an Apple USB-C adapter with use of a MIDI/USB adapter. Works fine. Bought this after checking out this video and tried to use the USB A port on it to stick my MIDI converter into, but no dice. How do you manage to link keyboard or controller with your iPad using this? Have to say, the main reason I bought this was to link both AND get headphones connectivity as well as HDMI to connect iPad to a nice big display. Maybe I have just been really dense here, but any pointers greatly appreciated, thanks 🙏

Hi, been playing around with programs like Loop Pro and Software Synthesizer. Problems after problems, getting the audio in whilst getting audio out was causing huge problems. The devices I’m using are 1 iPhone 14 Pro Max and a iPhone 15 Pro Max also the device I got just for music production is a iPad Mini 6 Generation. I just found out about this device and right onto eBay and got a clone of this for cheaper. Will have to wait and see how things go with it. By the way, I’m from the East Cost, Edinburgh. You?

The problem starts when we try to mix it with a case/fold because the borders don’t fit 😢 However I got the Anker 565 and it was the best thing I ever see in a while. Its a little more expensive I know, but it is awesome and very very resistent. 😊 Nice Review as usual ❤

Makes no sense, you need a USB-C PD port to feed the ipad, so no posibility to connect the, for example, the EVO 4 and a Sandisk. Minimum to work with music you need 3 USB-C ports: 1 PD and 2 for Data

When it comes to lightning, I’d always recommend to stick with the official Apple camera connection kit. Saves a lot of headaches in the long run.

Apple’s official lightning adapter (it’s confusingly called a ‘camera adapter’) is the only dongle I’d recommend for lightning based iPads. 3rd party versions are very unreliable. More info here: thegaragebandguide.com/how-to-connect-and-record-your-guitar-on-ipad-lightning

Can anyone confirm, that this hub gets terrible hot when using with another hub on the usb-a port? On the second hub I use a novation lauchkey mini and launchpad mini. Also I use the headphone jack at the same time. Is this to much or is my hub brocken?
