Recording Windows audio on iPad
I have Arturia Jup-8 V running on a Windows 10 laptop…playing it with a MIDI keyboard. I want to record it with Logic Pro for iPad. (Just the audio. I don’t need the MIDI.)
Of course, I can just plug the analog audio out from the laptop into my iPad’s audio interface. But I’m wondering if there is a better way. Is there an easy way to get the digital audio from Windows over USB into the iPad?

That's the best way. Or, better yet, simply export to audio files and import.
Any other solutions such as Studiomux and SonoBus involve more setup, glitches, and most importantly, high latency.
The best way with hardware is with an iConnectAudio4 interface which can record multiple channels of sound from Windows to the iPad with low latency. I've not really found a better solution for this yet in a more portable package.
If you want a lossless connection, there are SPDIF input to USB converters for around $30 which you can hook up to an iPad. If your interface doesn't have an SPDIF output, your PC mainboard might have it. alternatively the Behringer UCA202 ($20). You'd just have to use Asio 4 All as a driver. Both PC and iPad have to use the same sample rate (e.g. 48khz) for good results.
Thanks to all for the recommendations!
Surprisingly, I couldn’t find a combination of cables and adapters laying around to even get the analog audio connected, so I’ll look into these suggestions.
+1.
I wish someone would finally make a simple product (a cable with two USB plugs and some electronics) that does nothing but act as a class compliant dual USB audio & MIDI hub.
The best portable method over usb is probably iconnectmidi2+ which has audio pass through capability, it needs to be plugged into a power outlet though. If you don't mind 16bit you can send 7 channels of audio over usb from one device to another in that mode, 3 channels in 24bit mode. So it makes quite a compact setup that way.
But if you want to monitor the audio in a Daw at the same time you'd need to aggregate another audio interface, going from iPad to Windows, eg AUM to Ableton is the the way i do it and the way I would recommend, I can't see the appeal of going the other way personally but I know that's the way the OP is wanting
