@Harro - my EIE (red unit) works fine with iOS 8. I have an electronic drum kit and midi keyboard both running through it without any problems.
@funjunkie27 - Thank you!
Very nice informative forum here. I'm new here and new to iOS music production. Just shopping around for stuff. Gonna get an iPad air 2, probably 64gig and some kinda audio/midi interface. The Q802usb mentioned above sounds like just the ticket for my audio needs (guitar/mic/midi) but no midi. Is it possible to connect another device at the same time perhaps thru a USB hub? If my midi device say a keyboard controller or perhaps a midi guitar pickup is USB compatable, could I just plug it into the hub without an interface?
Sorry for so many questions but like I said I'm a nooby at iOS....TIA
With the powered USB hub and the CCK you will be able to hook up the Beringher mixer and your midi USB keyboard all at the same time. I bought the UCA222 instead of the mixer cause It doesn't require a powered usb hub but, it has only RCA connectors.
Either way I'm using it to play my iPad synths live at church and the sound is pro sounding!
I'm pretty sure that each of these Behringers is a stereo interface, meaning it sends a two-channel mixdown to your iPad or PC. So you can't record more than two individual tracks at a time.
..sorry I haven't checked this thread in a few months. Yes the $39 Griffin Studio Connect works great with an IPad4 if you use an Apple lightning adapter. I had one and it's fine. Has anybody heard an update on the StudioConnect HD? "By the end of the year" is what they said in 2014. Maybe this year?
Mostly I would be okay with just a stereo pair into the ipad unless my drummer buddy shows up with a bunch of Mics. Sometimes this stuff is just too complicated, I was hoping that iOS would make it simple.... Oh well

I have the Fishman Triple play and it works just fine plugged into the Lightning to USB adapter. Should work with CCK also.
I found a 7 port USB hub made by Plugable that has a 60watt power supply and appears to be able to charge an iPhone or iPad while it is in use. I wonder if this could be used to charge the iPad while sharing the hub with an audio IO or midi device. It sounds like it just might. What do you think? http://plugable.com/products/usb2-hub7bc#faq
Hello guys. I guess I have read the whole thread but I couldn't quite figure out how can I have realtime audio coming out of my ipad air to my MBP 2014 (no optical in). I have an uca 222 and a very low budget. Specially now that I bought this new computer. I guess I could use a ICM2+ in the future but I don't know if it possible to just use the audio passthru and maybe clock into my ipad.
Can I use an audio interface together with ICM2+ in a hub? For my ipad, I mean.
If there is a cheaper way I would be content.
Also: I want to use this live. I don't know if that might be important to tell or not.
I believe it's:
iPad headphone plug > 1/8" to RCA cable from iPad to UCA 222 > USB cable from UCA 222 to Mac.
@johow: the CCK does not support charging unfortunately, in its current incarnation. SOmewhere we have a kinda petition to Apple to fix this, but I'm not holding my breath.
OTOH, if you keep screen brightness around 30% and pump charge back into it between sets, the iPad gives me a true 10 hrs on its own battery, longer than I have the energy anyway.
Thanks for the response, even this late. I've decided to hold off and get the iConnectivityAudio4+ as soon as its available. Better solution over all for me I believe.
Thank you @miguelmarcos. I will try that. I dunno if I will be satisfied with the sound. But the cheaper and easiest way, for sure.
I have a friend looking for a Griffin studio connect w/lightning but they are getting hard to find. Time for another production run hopefully sooner than later! They seem to have sold out of them most places I shop.
Has anyone mentioned the Miditech audioface II? Works without a usb hub and has spdif coax output. Sounds pretty good as well.
I just received an email from Griffin stating that they've cancelled plans to release the Studio Connect HD. I'd been waiting a year for it to come out. Time to read through this thread to look for an alternative.

Just bought it
works great , I think to be a budget interface
Can be used without a computer but now I have it connected to the iPad with a CCK kit
Is it externally powered?

What do you think of the new Steinberg UR12 ? http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/audio_interfaces/ur_serie/modelle/ur12.html
I can't find any feedback about latency. Any idea if it could be used with an ipad amp emulation for live performance ?
I plan on getting the Q802USB for playing live. I realized that the output levels of the UCA222 are not strong enough and my sound guy always has to increase my settings. So, I hope with the Q802, i will not have to go through this as it outputs via 1/4 in outs to the DI box. Will this work guys?
one of the cheapest yet incredible sounding synths is also one of the best interfaces: Novation Xiosynth-
Does iRig work with Audiobus?
Hi, for Focusritt Scarlett 6i6 users or Audiobus developpers, I have this crutial question, as I just bought one to replace my old FastTrack Pro : how do set inputs routing for the Scarlett ?
Of course, I can see all the inputs (1, 2, 3 ... and 1+2, 2+3, 3+4 ) in the input slot of Audiobus (but no choice in the output slot, weird, but one thing at a time !).
But when I plug my MeeBlip in 3+4 or 1+2, or any other source (CD, iPhone output..), it sounds directly through the ouputs, without launching Audiobus. And if I let the input source, let's say the MeeBlip, then launch Audiobus and select the inputs where I plugged the MeeBlip, it's like it plays "in double", I hear the inputs in direct + the inputs through Audiobus.
Even if I had less inputs on my FastTrack, and it was not suppose to be "iPad class compliant" or even suppose to work at all with an iPad (it's a 10 years old soundcard), it works perfectly with it, once plugged to a powered USB hub, I can see all the inputs, the 2 midi keyboards plugged to the hub, and no problems for the routing... Of course you can set the routing with the OSX application, but there is no iOS app (like Maestro for the Apogee Duet), and NOTHING is said on the documentation for the iPad ! So before I get an headhache trying to set the Scarlett on my Mac, making lots plugs, deplugs and replugs between my Mac and the iPad, I would like to be shure that it will work in the end.
Thank you for your help,
best regard,
Cyril
Just thought I'd mention that the New Behringer XR18 works great with my Ipad mini 2. 18 channels of I/O AND midi I/O.
@beatpete Thanks for the heads-up! I just got the XR18, but didn't even think of this other than as a wireless controller. Can you please describe your setup? routing, etc.? Thanks in advance for any details you can provide. I will experiment as well and post back.
That's 16 channels, or 8 stereo. Very handy essential.
I'm still using my UCA222 no complaint from sound man. I edited each preset I use live in Z3TA and used Audioshare to monitor the level outputs so all were reaching unity. This made a huge difference and the output of my UCA was so much better. So for now, no getting mixer anymore. Man, Audioshare is truly the Swiss knife of IOS.
