iPad audio output and Zoom H1n microphone
I'm trying to use a Zoom H1n USB microphone with my iPad with Loopy Pro.
I managed to get Loopy to recognize the microphone and record a loop. But when it plays the loop, the output comes out the tiny speaker in the H1n. I have the output on the iPad going to a Bluetooth speaker and when I play a piano app, this definitely comes out of the Bluetooth speaker, but not Loopy.
I couldn't find any setting in Loopy Pro to set the output of the Master channel to a specific device. Is there a way?
Someone recommended trying to run Loopy Pro inside of AUM. I don't own that, would that even work?

What OS version are you using?
AUM is probably not going to behave differently.
In the IOS , control center see if your Bluetooth speaker is available as an output device? Note that you may encounter significant latency when using Bluetooth audio for your output.
I seem to be running iPadOS version 18.0.1.
Yes, I saw the little Bluetooth icon and pressed that and selected the Bluetooth speakers. And this made the piano app play out of the Bluetooth speakers, but not Loopy which surprised me.
I do realize there's some delay with Bluetooth. I need to get myself a USB splitter. However, I'm wondering, even with a USB splitter and one of those usb-c to audio cables will I still have the same issue? I can't even get Loopy to output to the iPad while the Zoom H1n is connected.
It's like Loopy Pro is either doing something wrong or needs a way to set the output device of the master.
Check to see if if Echo Cancellation is turned on for the mic by tapping on the mic's icon in the mixer. With an external mic, it shouldn't but if it is showing as an option, turn it off.
In Loopy Pro's system settings panel, you might see if turning on multi-route changes the behavior.
iOS (particularly pre-iOS26) doesn't like having two audio interfaces connected at once -- and your USB mic looks to loopy pro as an interface.
I don't even see Echo Cancellation as an option with this mic.
Ok I found a better solution outside of Loopy. The H1n has a headphone out, I connected this to the aux in on the BT speaker. This also eliminates any BT latency.
Hi @mgrant. I used a zoom h1n until recently, but didn’t do bluetooth audio output. Whenever my h1n was connected as an audio I/O device to my iPad all the ipad audio output went through the zoom output and I had to connect my headphones to my zoom to hear any iPad audio playback until I disconnected my zoom. I think it’s the only way, at least the only way I found…
Hi Dav, Yeah, me too. I think I can work with that for now.
