Rackable soundcard Ipad + laptop

I'm looking for a rack-mountable sound card to which I can connect an IPad Pro (2017) and a laptop (Windows) simultaneously. What will work.

I have actually a IConnectAudio2+ but I want more in/out and install it in a rack

Thanks

  • Maybe an iCA4+ (next to the 2+ on a rack bottom) and routing additional I/O via software channels (if required). Would allow 2 more iPads... o:)

    Thanks for the suggestion. In fact I don't really need more physical inputs. What I want is to be able to have several audio tracks in AUM that I can independently route to Ableton. I can then have for example ten instruments in AUM redirected in Ableton (output 1&2, 3&4, 5&6,...) and I can then mix everything in Ableton with other vst plugins...The cpu power will be better balanced between the two devices

  • Isn’t the iCA4+ a half-rack, or quarter-rack size already? That would do the trick, and has plenty of digital IO

    The ICA4c has only two digital I/O more (or one stereo channel) compare to my ICA2+. I would be able to send only up to 3 stereo channels from my IPad to my laptop. This is not enough as I really would like to have much more possibilities. Not below 8 channels (or 16 digital I/O.

    It looks like there is nothing on the market that fit my needs...thanks anyway

    Then you misunderstood my response above, and if you don‘t really need no more external analog inputs, then you don‘t need another interface at all.
    You can connect the iCA2+ to both iPad and laptop and have 20 digital channels between the two ;)

    Or in other words: if the direction is only from iPad to laptop, you‘d have 10 stereo busses available.
    If you want 1 stereo bus from laptop to iPad, then 8 stereo busses are available in the other direction.
    Any relation is possible, as long as the sum of mono channels doesn‘t exceed 20.
    (can‘t believe you never noticed that feature) :o

    Now you have all my attention Sir.

    And yes, I have no clue how to do that…can you show me please ?

  • You once posted a screenshot of your routing setup.
    It did not contain any (so called) virtual channels, but only analog in/out.
    Check the 1st diagram quoted on this page:
    https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/40209/iconnectivity-iconnect-audio-4-help-requested/p2
    It‘s close to your need with 14 channels from iPad to DAW and 6 channels from DAW to iPad.

    The 2nd screenshot shows the respective setup in preferences.
    Important: the input/output direction seems reversed (at least in my understanding), but that‘s essentially just a question of definition. One of those iConnectivity „features“, preferences are a rather obscure affair.
    (as mentioned elsewhere there are still entries I don‘t understand, even after setup dozens of DAWs/Interfaces on various operating systems) o:)

    Further down the page there‘s another routing screen shot. No need to read further, it‘s not about routing/setup.

    The numbering on your system looks different because you have 2 in/out plus headphone, while the 4+ has 4 in/out plus headphone.

    Hi and many thanks for this. It took me a little while but it is working as expected now
