This is my first post here. I bought a new iPad Air last December. I am running ios 9.2. I have lots of latency issues and glitches with almost all my music apps. I have to set the buffer in the apps at 1024 and then still I am experiencing glitches and noises. I am using a Steinberg UR22 mk2 interface and use the apps for effects and amp modelling on guitar. With the exact same setup I don't have any problems when using the same apps on my iPhone 5S with ios 8.1.
It's very annoying since I bought the iPad only for music apps and nothing else. I basically can't use my iPad now for music. It's unworkable. First I thought there was something wrong with my audio interface. Then I almost returned my iPad to the store because I thought it might be broken. Then I discovered this topic and some other forums saying the latency is because of the ios 9.2. That was the last thing I was thinking about. Hope Apple addresses this soon.
My questions are:
-Did someone try the 9.3 beta and see if this bug was fixed?
-Is there a way to contact Apple about this? since many people have this problem they can't ignore it. Don't want to wait yet another 3 months before I can use my iPad.
I have the same problem with my focusrite 18i6.The bad news is: apple CAN ignore everything.
I tried yesterday 9.3 beta 3. And i still have the latency and glitchs problem. I havean ipad air 2, ipad 4... Cubasis, auria pro, focusrite scarlett 18i8. Since 9.1 ive been noticing latency problems. But after 9.2 the problem got worse. After 9.2.1 its impossible to work with monitoring in "real time" . I reported with telephone, apple webpage, beta feedback... I cant use my ipads since 9.1 really. Very very very annoying!!!
Hmm, same here, zoom h4n, finger snip - - -snap...
Ugh, sorry to hear about continuing problems for many people using external audio interfaces.
Hopefully with the issue being raised by such a prominent figure in the iOS music scene, such as Sir Loopy Michael, we might eventually see some fixes from Apple?
Roll on 9.4...
Is there anywhere we can report this to Apple? Maybe send them links to this topic and other topics. Don't want to wait months before I can use my IPad. Only bought it for music apps and It's basically useless now. Really hate this is happening.
@sitarman let yourself be heard at apple.com/feedback,I just did,and I figure that if enough of us do,somebody will take notice.
(I am an old fashion optimist)
Beats the alternative!
I've been having problems with both and Apogee One and an ICA4+ under iOS9 (awful latency, glitches, pops and digital noise). I installed iOS 9.3 beta 3 and it didn't help, but last night I installed 9.3 beta 4 and during an admittedly quick 30 minute test this morning, the Apogee One performed great. Will test on the ICA4+, and on the Apogee, more extensively tonight.
@Frank said:
Done.
@excesseye, thanks for the info (;
Anyone with an Ipad Pro having these same issues, or is the faster processor enough to overcome the latency, pops etc. problems that are found in the current OS? I have a Pro being delivered today and I'm a bit concerned.
From what I can tell, this issue has no connection to the hardware specs, and it's entirely a coding within iOS 9.0-9.2 which is causing iDevices to not be able to recognize the Audio Clock settings from an external interface. That causes the pops/clicks/latency.
I'm having the same problem on my iPad Pro with a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6. Almost one second latency. It's a bug in iOS and has nothing to do with processor power. I haven't tried the new iOS 9.4 beta.
Yeah, I should have mentioned that the problems I was having are on iPad Pro.
So there, is it safe to say that the iPad Pro has never been thoroughly testet for any kind of serious music production before it was released? As Pro is IOS 9 only.
Not very reassuring regarding Apples interest for this field, however niche it is. As apparantly they keep on ignoring the problem, leaving users and hardware manufacturers in the dark.
Is there any workarounds for this problem for existing hardware, or even new gear ?
As it's been clearly stated that the issue has nothing to do with hardware, I don't consider this accurate.
I know it's not a hardware problem. It's IOS 9. Which for the Pro is the only IOS.
For the moment but it was never planned that it would be the only OS for that device forever. That alone makes trying to equate the hardware to this issue false.
Indeed not very reassuring that they didn't test this latency/glitch thing properly. Since many use the iPad for music making these days. Let's hope for the best for 9.3. In the meantime I hope everyone here will report this problem to Apple. Let's drive them nuts guys and girls!!!
Message send to apple.com/feedback. Hope more people do this!
Yep, the more the merrier. It'd be nice to give Apple an idea of how many people this stuff is affecting, so if you haven't left feedback yet, do it now. In an ideal world there'd be sufficient numbers of vocal users talking to Apple about this that it'd give the decision makers the impetus they need to double down on QA.
Yeah I'll give them some feedback too.
I was thinking about getting an iPad pro but not with these kind of issues happening.
9.3 beta 4 went out to the public today... Thanks for posting your experience @excesseye with the Apogee One.
Anyone else tested this to see if it fixes the latency problem?
It doesn't, alas. Seeing exactly the same behaviour with my Focusrite Scarlett 6i6
9.3 beta 4 appears to be working well with both my Apogee One and ICA4+. I have just played guitar for an hour through the ICA4+ (using Bias FX) with not a single glitch or pop, and with excellent (low) latency. Compare this to last night on beta 3, where I couldn't play for longer than a few minutes, literally, without serious issues.
Feedback sent.
Hopefully iOS developers continue to support iOS 8 till this is sorted out.
Anyone else tested performance on 2 devices?
I was pretty shocked to see the same patch in synthmaster playing 3 notes using almost double the CPU on an air2 (iOS 9) vs an air1 (iOS 8).
(Same behaviour with Alesis io4 via CCK and with native iPad audio output)
Maybe iOS 9 is parking cores or there is another technical reason for this?
This is why I haven't made the jump to iOS 9.
Is this on 44.1KHz and 48KHz (where available)?
This big problem is happening in all sample rates, in fact, it happens in every variable after iOS 9.1.. after 9.2.1 the problem is constant and makes our iPads inoperable to work with audio environments where monitoring is needed.
Changing sample rates inside cubasis or Auria Pro, breaks and glitches the apps, nothing works really. And i hate saying this cause i love my apple products. In the past i changed to Apple plataform because i was tired of this kind of problems with windows and such.
The problem came with iOS 9.2, worked fine in 9.1, or 9.0 can't remember now.
