Recording my pick up
So I bought a universal pick up with which I can record all my instruments. It has a 3.5 mm connection so I can stick it in my iPad directly.
So I did everything it said on the package and put the jack in the 3.5 mm hole in my iPad, but still it will only record the internal iPad microphone. I can’t find any option to choose a different input in GarageBand or in my general settings on the iPad.
Does anybody know what I’m doing wrong? Do I need some extra device?
I also tried to put the monitoring on, but nothing happened.
Or is it just not possible to use a microphone or pick up on the iPad connected only via the 3.5 mm connection?
Would be happy for any advice. Sorry if I may have used the wrong words, but English is not my native language, and I don’t know how to describe some things better.

What is the brand and model of the pick up?
The 3.5 mm jack on the iPad is a "headphone" jack. It makes 4 connections, starting from the tip of the plug: left, right, mic, ground. So the plug has 3 short sections at the end, then the ground is the long part. The pickup will need to be connected to the mic section. If your pickup cable does not have this type of connector, it will not likely work.
