AUM question
Hi all!
I have a simple setup (see the attached photo). I want to record with AUM when I play my OP-1 and singing with my Shure USB mic. My audio interface is a scarlett 2i2. AUM detects the scarlett but when I connect the Shure mic the scarlett disappears. Only the mic shows up as input. Both the mic and scarlett is connected to the ipad via a usb hub and the apple cck. Thank you for all help or guidance what to do.

If I understand correctly, you’re trying to use two USB audio devices (the scarlet and the mic) at once? You can’t do that with iOS. Only one audio device will be recognized (the last one plugged in).
Sorry, the only way to do that is with a single audio interface that can have two sources plugged into it.
Thank you @wim yes you understand correctly. Ok so is there anyway I can connect the usb mic to the scarlett?
The only way I can think of would be to connect the USB mic to another device, like a PC or phone, then route the audio from there to the Scarlett. Latency probably going to be an issue though...
@wim got to try that, thanks a lot.
iOS has it's issues with using multiple Audio-Interfaces at once.
I'm thinking about getting a Steinberg UR242 and a classic Shure SM57 at some point...
While I really do like my iRig Mic HD it has it's limitations when it comes to using multiple devices at once.
Could you use the headphone output of the mic into the audio interface?
Looking at the interface it would need more inputs
That's partially the reason why I'm looking at the UR242 (2 inputs on front and 2 line-in on the back plus midi and DSP channel strips on all inputs for compression & eq etc).
True, or a little mixer.
@Jocphone yes the output of the mic can go into the audio interface but I have to plug the mic to another device, in my case an iphone. Is there a mixer where I can plug my usb mic into?
Just get a normal mic imo. But then you need an interface with more inputs if you want to use your op-1 in stereo
The downside of an interface with more inputs is that it needs external power...
Another option might be the Roland GoMix?
As far as I know now mixer natively supports USB microphones.
@ToMess yeah I guess that's the easiest solution. It's just that I really like the mic.
That’d be an interesting device – several usb jacks and faders, and one usb out. Impossible, of course, or at least not without alien technology.
@Samu the roland go mixer would mix all audio into one channel right? I would like to separate vocals and instrument so I can apply different effects inside the ipad.
Yeah, that's the downside of it.
The UR242 is looking more tempting every time I see it.
The only downside of it would be that the 'software' on the computer in requires the install of the eLicenser which I consider to be a 'plague' so I would most likely use it with the iPad only...
@samu the kmix is expensive, I wonder if it works fine with ipad.
If you have a phone then plug the Shure USB mic into that, record the audio on the phone and then copy the recorded audio over to the iPad later. The only issue is that you can only really monitor one of the two sources, which could be a pain.
Otherwise I think the most sensible other option would be to buy a second condenser mic with a regular XLR connection to plug into the Scarlett.
FWIW I have the same USB mic and I also really like it. I use it for recording practices mostly. I have a couple of XLR condensers that I use with my Scarlett 2i4 though.
@richardyot thanks, I think I’ll buy a regular none usb mic.
The ica4+ spec says it supports ”USB audio and MIDI class-compliant”, what does usb audio mean? Does that mean I can connect my usb mic to it and route it my ipad?
Woot, ur22mkii doesent have any licence crap to use it. Are you sure this isnt just for the software that comes with it, like the lite version of cubase that no one would use anyways?
It means it can send USB audio to/from the iPad (or PC or Mac) with it, not that you can plug your USB mic into it.
@wim thanks for the explanation
Sorry it’s not a more agreeable answer. The iOS inability to work with more than one audio interface is indeed limiting.
