iRig HD or other interface for iPad

[lawry]

Thanks man.
I use a Presonus 1818vsl USB interface which gives me 8 preamps with phantom power if needed. I also have a Behringer ADA8000 8 channel preamp that I can connect into the Presonus via an ADAT light pipe to give me a total of 16 inputs. The iPad and Auria don't even break a sweat doing 16 tracks at once in 24/96 although I usually use 44kHz.

"a total of 16 inputs", yeah perfect, that's all you'll ever need unless you want to start recording orchestras or something stupid. Naa the drums sound really clean, and overall nice separation and transparency within the mix, sounds pro mate!

Guys,

I have an ipad air 2....and I have just bought I-Rig HD and it is in the post. I have been playing with and trying to learn garageband and amplitube. (Will be easier with an interafce between the guitar and the i-pad.)

How have your experiences been with these devices and software?

Yes I have read the thread....I am just a hacker and something like this is a step up from the NOTHING I have now.....no MAC for a start.

I got one for Xmas. I'm using with an iPad 2 and the JamUp Pro XT app and very happy with the result. Excellent just for the sheer convenience of it's portability and makes my Fender amp almost redundant for practice purposes.

What sort of Fender amp Andrew?

I have a 1974 Fender Twin Reverb

[andrewdosborne]

Champion 100 and an original G-Dec that has been relegated to a mic amp and output for Garageband.

There's a lot of recording devices you can use with Auria and the ipad .
I use the Rme Babyface , and the focusrite Scarlett as long as you use external power supply on the interface your good to go

What kind of audio interfaces work with Auria?

Auria supports two main categories of audio hardware, the iPad’s built-in internal I/O (Speaker, Mic, and 3.5mm headphone mini-jack), and external audio interfaces connected through the 30-pin MFi port (either directly or through the Camera Connection Kit, which enables USB devices).



What are the iPad's built-in options?

Speaker
Microphone
3.5mm mini-jack – Includes both mono input plus stereo out.


What kinds of external devices can be used?

Auria supports external audio interfaces through the 30-pin dock connector (or MFi). There are two types of devices which can be connected through this port:

MFi - These interfaces connect directly to the 30-pin MFi connector. One popular example is the Apogee Jam.
USB Class 2 Compliant interfaces - These require an Apple Camera Connection Kit connected between the iPad and interface. Examples include the RME Fireface UCX, Presonus AudioBox 1818VSL, and the Focusrite Scarlett series interfaces. See our Interfaces page for more information.


Auria is not recording any incoming audio with iOS 7.

iOS 7 can block all audio inputs (from both the microphone and from interfaces) to an app unless it is specifically allowed. When first opening an app under iOS7 a pop-up asks, "Auria would like to access the microphone." If "Don't Allow" is selected then all audio input to Auria is blocked. To fix this open iPad Settings, go to General, then Privacy, then Microphone. Find Auria in the list and enable access by tapping the slider so it is green.

Wow guys.....I am having fun just pluggin around.....like the free stuff.....still learning.

I did notice that there is a long lag using airplay to put the output up on my TV with surround sound. Using a headphone is fine.

Still learning and loving it.
