Apps for Streaming iOS Audio into Computers
Which apps do you use to stream and record full bandwidth audio between iOS and desktop DAWS?
Audreio? MUSIC IO? Something else?
I know I can just plug in the headphone jack output, but I think there is some sound quality loss that way.
I’m interested not just for recording, but also to listen to my Auria mixes on the speakers that are connected to my computer.
Please forgive me if there is already a discussion on this. If so, please provide the link.

I don't know that you need an app. You need something out of the Lightning interface, like a Behringer UCA222. Then you could go from the outputs to the input on your PC. You can't stream from Auria, or any software that can both play and record audio, over Bluetooth. Restriction within iOS.
If I have Spotify streaming to my iLoud over Bluetooth, and I start Auria, or Guitar Toolkit, the output from Spotify immediately reverts to my iPad speakers.
Studiomux works well for me. I haven't tried the others.
Sometimes when I want to access non-music stuff I just use Quicktime. ( Select record movie and then pick your iDevice for both audio & video. )
If you have a Mac OS X 10.11 features inter-device audio. Just plug the iOS device into the computer and you can use the iOS device as an audio input. It's reeeeally cool.
If I am not using the 30 pin port on my iPad2 for my guitar interface, I'll use Music IO going from the 30 pin into the USB on my iMac. If I am using the guitar I run a cable from the headphone out into the line-in on the computer, and accept the slight degradation in quality (I can't really tell the difference except at high volume where it distorts out a bit, which is fine if I am playing a distorted guitar anyway!)
@jiggywig I've read varying responses to Studiomux online, but they just released an update on Monday that seems to address many of them. http://bit.ly/1SEMPBv The biggest thing is that it now has a manual (within the app) and improved servers. I will give it a shot.
I use 3 different apps for music playback and streaming like from PC's servers on speakers or AV receivers and vice a verse:
Cesium application looks like an iOS Music app used to be before Apple added all the extra menus and buttons, just playback. Gestures control and composers filter.
Splyce, Mix and DJs mode, Philips(R) Hue lights effect, Airplay, BPM order (Beats per minute) and Spotify support.
MyAudioStream, an audio streaming application to play all the music library you have collected with the servers, the main why I use it is FLAC support.
Thanks @DenW
There is a way to simultaneously use a guitar interface and streaming into computer? Maybe by using a cck?
Dude. You need to understand. Studiomux cannot work with a cck. It only works directly connected to the pc via lightening or 30pin connector. And no. It cannot stream your guitar interface into the computer. Pretty much the only interface capable of doing what you're asking are the ones made by connectivity like the iconnectaudio2+ or the iconnectaudio4+ and neither of them needs studio mux. They directly can feed audio into a pc daw from an iOS device and vice versa.
Music IO is great and you can route midi. The devs are very friendly and responsive. You can do effects loops with your iPad. Creating an effects loop on your favorite daw and insert the free plugin you can download. It's really cool stuff. Pretty handy too if you don't have an interface, or don't want wires.
I own both MusicIO and Studiomux. Studiomux is far better since you can save sessions and works on windows 10.
And I just read that MusicIO dropped support for windows. Wasted money.
@Korakios well that is your opinion and I have never tried studiomux, so I will have to take your word for it. I was only trying to help
. I don't use Windows, and state saving isn't an issue when I work with an app like those it's more of a gimmick. I don't use it often.
I was recently trying (and will soon try again) to get a midi track in LPX to drive an iOS synth and get back the audio to record in a different audio track back on LPX using musicIO. I could get the iPad synth to see the midi, the synth made the sound, but all I got on LPX was what my wife and I were talking about and the telly in the background, instead of any audio from the iPad. It seems as though the musicIO can’t be an actual audio source in an LPX channel.
@u0421793 I thought the same at first but you must use the vst version for it to work for me on non el crapitain. I don't use logic which is what I assume you are talking about. Also update the recent plugins from the website. It works fine for me on GarageBand and mainstage( both daws I never use) but for reference purposes in your case it should work. It doesn't load as an input it actually monitors your output and records via an audio track while being monitored through the given application you run.
I agree with all my hearth. I use Studiomux routinely, to hear the iOS sounds through decent monitors w/o have to wear headsets
You can mirror the phone to computer, and then use FoneLab screen recorder to capture audio on computer.
Last comment was from near 3 years ago. Maybe the OP found a solution but since you resurrected the topic we can give it a twist...
I was trying yesterday to record video into quicktime (macOS high sierra) from 5s plugged and I get inconsistent results.
So, experiences dealing with audio and video capture? Advices?
I am sorry but what do you mean inconsistent results, do you mean it is not work?
Maybe you can check quicktime recorder to learn more details for how to use quicktime to record screen on mac.
And you can try fonelab to solve the problems without lag.
By inconsistent I mean no problems with iPad mini4 pubg playing but problems (disconnection) with 5s and camera recording.
Thanks for the advice I will check the link to see if I did something wrong or how to improve it. In the end I bought a webcam hd ready so I don’t need to record camera from 5s anymore. I’m also screencasting mac apps into OBS but image flicks a bit. ATM I will need to record iPad screen which seems working properly into mac with quicktime and mix it with webcam. I’m still testing setups and apps.
It’s fonelab iOS app or mac app? I tried some iOS apps in the past for similar duties but were bit limited for my needs.
Thanks.
iPad straight into Mac - go to utilities audio and midi settings - activate iPad. Done
Wish I knew this before buying lightning to usb converter...
