righty right and works great
(a Mix-24 system with Core and Mixfarm card and an Digi 882/20 8-channel io-box)
Btw it performs quite similiar to AUM, just more clumpsy to setup routing and channel options.
Originally intended as an external fx rack, but it took only about a month to become familiar with the sequencer part.
Wow, thanks for the info, I’ll be giving that a try later
It’s funny that opinion is so split about both Studiomux and the iConnectivity boxes - it seems to me that they’re both pretty flaky but work well in certain scenarios, I guess it depends on your exact setup.
It seems that IDAM is the most reliable method for getting audio from an iPad into a DAW (Mac only) but another method is needed if you want to use iPad effects apps - hopefully @Aud_iOS ’s technique will work for me.
I wonder if IDAM and Studiomux play well together? I have two iPads so perhaps I could run the FX on one (via Studiomux) and the synths on the other (via IDAM). Hmmmm?
Q
Amazing and Rock solid are not disinterested terms - you are choosing to ignore their poor support, lack of updates and abandoning their iOS apps (which never really worked), and that once you plug in a device, if you ever move it to a different port or reconfigure you're devices - names are lost and never can be changed (they put this on Apple, but I fail to see how this is the case, more evidence needed) - Also, entire device runs off SysEx, which interrupts MIDI messages (vice-versa) and causes a lot of message prioritization issues. - I'd never argue Studiomux is rock solid - or even compare it to the iConnect as the latter is 30x the cost - and short of hardware ports, has less iOS functionality - can you use IDAM with the iConnect? Or record a QuickTime movie on your Mac? Sync with iTunes(err Music app)? Every time I wanted that functionality - unplug and plug out elsewhere.
Studiomux indeed has some issues for me; can't load certain plugins (like Spacecraft and others) - and certain apps must be launched in a certain order, which I've overcome by taking a note (i.e. can't drop Blocs Wave on a track or it'll zombie - open it first, no issue), their support is inconsistent, and the documentation is poor.
Bottom line for me - still a great opportunity for a hardware/software solution for iOS that handles multichannel Audio between iOS, Mac, and Windows. Smux and iConnect are probably equable in their overall functionality and reliability. There's still a great opportunity out there for a hardware/software solution to this common pain point - would be nice to see someone try developing with BT 5.0 as well which has a much wider bandwidth for audio - but so far nothing out there. I also don't see any reason why Dante couldn't bring their protocol to the newer USB-C devices given they can support GB internet, and Apple could do the same with AVB - both of these protocols are far more reliable than anything USB or BT is ever going to provide.
@Acetone Good assessment, basically just what I was typing above when your message popped through
- and yes, I think I mentioned somewhere up there that IDAM and Smux work fine together.
Well... the possible enviroment for an iCA interface ranges from IOS-9 to 13, Win XP, 7, 8, 10, Mac OSX 10.7 (?) to 10.13.
The 2 host devices may run any combination from the systems above.
It's quite stunning that it does work at all, considering different energy management, security settings etc.
Which of course applies to any software maker as well... and may explain why results vary a lot.
The only thing that's flakey is the company's product policy.
Instead of improving their (powerful) original control software, they switched to a kind of auto-detect/assistance scheme - totally useless for this kind of application.
I understand that they are probably fed up with the complexity they dared to mess with, and want to cash-in... but it leaves some stale taste.
Nevertheless the iCA4+ performs great as is - one gets used to the non-appeal of some visual aspects.
Yes I wish they updated iconfig as well, but at least it's still working. The iOs app still works for me too mostly, although I rarely use it and prefer to configure it via desktop.
Can't agree on poor support, I had good support from them, but I only needed support at the beginning years, 5 years ago now. When I guess the earlier drivers were more unstable. I haven't had any issue with my unit for years now.
I'd like to see an updated model + new iconfig software. I can't see what else comes close to ICA4+ in the price range. I've got Studiomux and used it a few times, but in comparison the whole process is frustrating, I'd much rather use hardware.
The port renaming thing is a shame, you used to be able to rename them after a reset. But this seems to have stopped working now. Maybe an iOS 13 thing.
Who said they were?
I’ve had great, fast, and friendly support from them. And even if I hadn’t, that wouldn’t affect the rock-solidness of my setup.
Fair enough, although there is a new, prettier Mac app. Not nearly as powerful though.
Works fine for me
More evidence needed indeed. You can’t just make an assumption and pass it off as fact. This is an iOS issue, and common to any MIDI gear. The only way around it is to reset the iPad/iPhone. Or get everything set up with a Mac/PC before you ever plug in your iPad. Far from ideal, but that’s iOS all over.
It’s hardware. Maybe they should sell it for $10?
No, you can only plug an iPad into one audio device at once. MIDI might work though. I’ll test that.
Or record a QuickTime movie on your Mac?
Sure! Why not?
The box has its problems, of course, but what doesn’t? It’s nice to speculate about what “should” be available, but this is what we have, and I’m very, very glad that it exists.
Clearly it’s not for you, but there are plenty of happy users that love it.
My macOS Catalina says it’s not compatible with Studiomux
