thx @MusicInclusive for the verification!
So all we can do is sit and wait for better weather....look outside, huuu, cloud and rain ;-)
its a shame what apple do (or dont) since, iOS 8
i contact the apple support in the last days, cause of several questions and issues, doesnt matter here what, but ALL! answers are negativ....
Steve would turn in his grave....
Maybe you're holding it wrong...
It's true that Apple have been messing up all kinds of things with their latest updates. iConnectivity is only one of the many victims. The Apogee One stopped working properly in iOS 9.2 and my eyeTV hybrid keeps disconnecting on El Cap. What the heck are they doing?
Like @Munibeast said, they do all correct, we just hold and understand this wrong!

New iCA4 app Auracle now available to try out with Mac and PC. Can download the beta from the website.
reading the patch notes i think i might wait till someone does an indepth analysis.
I'm a "power user" (according to them) and wouldn't like having less functionality than i currently have....
Yeah, I had a look out of curiosity, since you can use it alongside iconfig. It's a good start and useful for new users but not enough control for me either. I hope iconfig gets an update soon on both ipad and desktop as it's in need of it.
This thread's reads like a time machine.
So what is the verdict for the year 2018? All working as described? Ios 11 issues in particular. 2 IOS devices on 11 working bugs free? Port naming streamlined or is it still a bunch to set up?
I think I'm getting it once I've sold my pro 10.5
Yeah. This is wild. I made this. Thread like 3 years ago. Lol.
Time travel
Is everything well with the IconnectAudio4 on iOS11?
It’s on my shopping list too, so would be great to hear it works well with iPad on latest OS.
I still use it every day. And at this point it's super easy for me to route things the way I want. The learning curve was steep but once you climb it it's amazing what you can do. Mind you I never use the IOS app at all. Just the PC/Mac app. There's a newer beginner friendly app in beta but it has nowhere near the power features of the current baffling and Amazing app.
I don't regret buying it at all
Thanks for the info. Do you have a link for the Mac app? It sounds like it would be wise to download that before the new app goes live.
Cheers.

Are you using the interface (iconnectaudio4+ ?) in ios 11? It seems on the iconnectivity forum that people are still having issues with it?
yep. used it with my Air 2 on IOS 11.2.2 (havent updated past that....)
any link to whatever probs people are having ?
just download the iconfig app from the iconnectivity website. the newer app is called something else. (cant remember it right now..)

There are some recent postings also. I’m considering buying iconnectaudio4+, but this worries me a bit.
Wow.
Officially acknowledged in the comments there too.

Yes, it's something to do with iOS 11 as far as we can tell, but so far Apple haven't been able to tell us what exactly :-(
Pause button on.
To be honest. It's a pretty minor bug. It basically means you have to use the PC editor and plug in the iPad only after powering on the interface. I haven't used the iOS editor in years and the device itself retains your last config automatically so if you have a specific config you want you don't even need the editor for months after you set it. Also. I usually walk around with my iPad so it's not stuck permanently attached to my soundcard. I only plug it in when I'm working and at that point my desktop and the interface are already powered on. So this bug doesn't factor into my day to day at all.
That's reassuring, cheers.
Ok, guess I’ll order the iconnectaudio4+ and try it out in my setup. I’m hoping for a stable low latency interconnection (midi/audio in both directions) of two ipads or laptop plus ipad. Right now i’m using an apogee one as interface, so I hope the connectaudio4’s converters and audio path will be of a similar quality. Has anyone been able to compare those interfaces (or similar apogee and iconnectivity interfaces)?
There's no converters when sending audio between devices. Its a direct digital signal between them. Which is why it can do much lower latency than using other interfaces.
While you won't get 0 latency between the devices I've gotten audio to <10 Ms directly in ableton from my iPad. And at that point it's practically impossible to hear it not being in perfect time since humans find it very hard to tell the difference <10 Ms.
Still gonna piss-off the non-human users then!
the iCA4+ is good enough for most jobs but clearly below Apogee in both input/output.
Nevertheless I constantly use it for it's functionality and (as mentioned above) a lot of the signals don't leave the digital domain, so it doesn't matter anyway.
Most annoying is (precise) level setup or changes with either the iCA's control software or frontpanel operation. I have no idea what's so difficult to label BOTH current level and gain setting permanently and distinguishably.
For comparison I use an Audient ID22, which outperforms the iCA in all io domains.
Should be at least on par with Apogee stuff - and has a much higher price tag than the iCA.
I agree with this assessment. But in the context of purely sending audio between 2 devices with 16+ channels with no latency or audio quality loss due to uneccesary conversion the iconnectivity interfaces don't currently have a competitor.
well, there is of course a significant (!) amount of latency involved if you construct roundtrips between the 2 iDevices.
Of which the most significant aspect (my favourite flaw) is the bare non-existence of any useful mean of compensation.
I don't mind if the audio is 20 ms off or if there would be a convenient way to shift tracks, but that's a pita with IOS DAWs.
Sample precise alignement is a core feature of clarity and definition in any mix as soon as you deal with parallel streams of audio.
You also can only guess what the final ambience in mixdown will sound like in such setups.
Just to tell you I have a ica4+ at my disposal. Testing it out at the moment. Connection works rather flawless I must say. Bit didn’t get far yet. My goal is using this unit to play live (two ipads or laptop with ipad), so the converter quality and the audio output path (not the mic preamps) and guitar di are important, stability over low latencies even more. Comparing this unit with the apple idam functionality also (but this means only ios->laptop audio with biderectional midi). I don’t think apps like studiomux are reliable enough for stage use.
IConfig is an intuitively straightforward environment to me, coming from rme interfaces. I like the interface so far. I will try to compare the unit with the Apogee interface also. Another idea might be a combination of the apogee one with the iconnecmidi4+, but that would bring extra cables and power supply.
Thanks for all the opinions/answers.
If there is a chance you could determine the between device latency (no idea how it's done) that would be fab. This is the only reason I'd consider getting it would be to run impaktor on second device to be recorded on loopy on another. Having just written this I doubt latency is going to be less than me coming in from my iphone (sonicport) into IPad (EIE).
After all the ultimate solution for impaktor will be running it on the same device as everything else as an AU with a midi controller stuck onto a pad trigger. (sorry don't know how many impaktor heads are present here)
I'm definitely one!
I'm following this conversation closely...
To be fair I've only used it in a PC/iOS config. And the way I measured latency there was scanning how late the recording was there. With the iPad at 256 samples and the PC in recording mode with lowest latency and 256 samples the recording was 7.9ms late. I didn't really do round trips but I'd imagine it would stack another 7.9 Ms per round trip.....
What I’ve noticed with Studiomux is that if I sync apps with Ableton and Link, all audio flux will be out of sync and delayed when monitored and recorded, and you have to edit markers in Ableton clips each time. Delay while monitoring is more or less ok with synths but if you mix drums/percs materials on both desktop/iOS sides even lowest latency is an issue and you will hear/feel it. No Ableton sync, track delay or latency compensation helps, cause this has to be set on iOS side, and no apps allow for that. Studiomux has a setting in metronome for sync delay but it don’t works.
I suppose it’s the exact same issue with iConnectaudio4? Can you even direct monitor audio flux to avoid those latencies? But this don’t fix iOS/VST fx real time processing where this delay will still be there.
