iRig Pro DUO audio inputs
My local music store is selling an iRig Duo Pro which I am seriously thinking of buying so I can record my hardware synths using BM3 onto my iPad Pro. I am wondering if the audio inputs on the iRig Pro Duo are stereo or are the just mono? I have an old Behringer UCA-200 but not sure if that will work. Please advise.
Comments
If the audio inputs on the iRig are mono then what I am wanting to achieve is by making the two mono inputs on the iRig Pro Duo into a stereo track on BM3 for example have one instrument come out the left channel and another on the right channel on one track or will I have to create two separate tracks on BM3?
The audio inputs are mono.
But I don’t really know enough about bm3 to say whether you can combine them into one stereo recording.
I don't have the iRig Pro Duo but on all my other 2 channel interfaces I can select 1,2(mono) and 1+2(stereo).
the UCA-200 is a fairly old device, so I wouldn't bet on it's compliance - but chances are it will just be recognized as a plain interface.
You need a CCK to connect and check it out.
If it's usefull mainly depends on the output level/signal of your synths: a solid level is required (it's a 16bit device) and if your external gear features (really) high quality output, the UCA my not the best choice. All regular stuff is covered well.
The iRig is (as almost every interface) dual mono on it's input channels.
It becames 'stereo' by the host application, which assigns input-1 to left and input-2 to the right channel when required.
You'll have to align the 2 level dials precisely regarding the audible stereo image.
That's good to know so I will get true stereo instead of mono coming from both left and right channels. I was also wanting to use the iRig Pro Duo to record old vinyl records onto my iPad so true stereo (as in some instruments panned to the left and some instruments panned to the right) is essential.
irig pro duo is really overpriced. You can get a lot better products for the same price. In general i see the irig products aimed at people who dont know better and they sell because they managed to grow hype around them by making them ios compatible and advertising it. In reality, most usb audio interfaces made today are ios compatible and are better quality with more features.
If you dont mind adding size to the interface to get better quality product in every way for the same price, look into what roland, steinberg and focusrite offers.
If you want good portability that the irig offers, look into what zoom offers.
I just bought the iRig Pro Duo but running through some problems because it doesn't work with Ni-MH rechargeable batteries when using with an iPad. It only seems to work with the batteries it came with which is a big bummer. However, the good news is that the two mono inputs can be selected as stereo on a track on BM3 which is great.
Make sure you register it, it will get you a whole bunch of free desktop software and unlock a couple of things on iPad.
never mind - unless you're using such batteries constantly every day they are a self-discharging plague.
I once bought a quality set with max power specs for a Canon cam (which was supposed to be used occasionally only) and within some days half of the load had vanished. Completely different from the Li-Ion stuff we're used to in notebooks and tablets.
Pretty sure you can get a 9 volt power adapter and plug the iRig in.
Yeah, but my main reason for buying the iRig Pro Duo was for portability and on the move because I already have a good audio interface in my studio that I use on my MacBook Pro.
That’s cool. The way you described the project, it sounded like you needed to be in the studio.
+1 on the Zoom interfaces. I was also considering the iRig Pro Duo at some point but got the Zoom U-24 instead, and I'm happy I did.
The iRig Pro Duo works well for me even though rechargeable batteries don't work. However, I am now gutted that I have bought it since you mentioned the Zoom U-24 which looks nice and doesn't look like a plastic toy that the iRig looks like and costs less money.
