Using Monitor Port on Audio Interface. iphone 7 specific
Hey everyone. I am looking into a new interface for the iphone7 since it doesnt have a headphone out. Now i have an iRig HD that does not have a monitor port. I am looking into a more conventional USB device like a focusrite scarlet or something like that. Ill pickup the camera connection kit and hopefully have better preamps than the irig.
Now the question is monitoring my tone from tonestack or bias. Can iOS take the input from USB and send the Output fron tonestack over USB back out the monitoring port on the interface? Or do I just get to monitor a dry signal?
Comments
I suppose it depends on which interface, but yes you can usually send an input into, and monitor a 'wet' processed signial using iOS apps via USB. In fact the iRig HD 2 allows stereo monitoring via its own stereo headphone jack, and it also has a switchable direct signal out or effects signal out from its second 1/4" socket.
Cool so I guess any usb interface that is class compliant with the camera connection kit will allow monitoring the mixed audio post DSP from the iOS audio apps. Like AUM audio out to the usb interface monitor jack or speaker outs
Any USB audio interface with headphone monitor will do job well.
But I lastly try first iRig hooked to newest iPhone SE and old iPad 2.
Difference sound recordings is very shocking.
Newer iPhones has better ADC and can be used to recordings a guitar and bass.
iPhone 7 could be used with headphone jack adapter.
Here is test:
PS. I wrote the same idea on IK Multimedia forum and my posts has been deleted :-(

That's the idea, yes. I have a Scarlett interface (18i8) and to manage the routing in AUM I had to use the Focusrite MixControl program (Mac/PC only) to configure (one time only) the hardware to route through the DAW outputs, not the physical outputs, then I could assign the outputs freely in AUM. (I think that's it - my PC is trashed & being rebuilt and I haven't installed all my audio apps yet...!)
how did that work? why was it necessary? i dont get it
Yeah, I didn't explain it very well! It may be easier to point you to my previous post about it: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/17004/using-aum-with-a-focusrite-scarlett-18i8#latest
TL;DR - make sure the Scarlett physical outputs are set to receive the DAW channels you want, or a Mix that includes those DAW channels. When I first tried AUM my Scarlett was setup with just physical inputs in the Mix sent to the outputs (so, like a direct monitor) and so AUM couldn't route any audio to my monitors. This will make more sense if/when you use MixControl to setup a Scarlett interface! I don't know which models use MixControl...
I have steinberg ur 22mkii and focusrite 6i6. Both are great, but for some reason the focusrite cant handle anything but maximum sample rate, which is pretty tasking for the CPU of the ipad(but latency is low and quality is great). Now i have ended up to a solution where i have the steinberg hooked to ipad, focusrite to computer and basically all external gear(except midi) goes to focusrite and its secondary headphone out sends everything to steinbergs inputs. So the focusrite basically works as a mixer and allows me to play synths or sample any sound on desktop to ipad.
I havent heard other having issues with turning down the sample rate with the 6i6 or other focusrites. Oh yea and one really big downside on the focusrite is that there is no knob or even a button to switch between direct monitoring and "daw monitoring", thats something that needs to be done by connecting it to computer, opening the scarlett mixcontrol program and changing it from there..
I highly suggest you get something with midi ports and has a power cord, so that you dont need powered hub. Makes life easier and cheap quality midi keys available.
