How I Record My In Ear Mix || irig 2 setup

[@DBrownOnThe1]

Out of all the irig 2 videos, this is really easy to understand. You've laid out everything you need in a concise matter. Thank you

[@Theryanprim]

So happy to hear that!

[@DBrownOnThe1]

@@Theryanprim Hey I'm having issues with mine. Do I have to download an irig2 video app to record? Does my blue tooth need to be on?

[@Theryanprim]

@@DBrownOnThe1 no if you follow the steps and make sure that the thru switch is on, it should work if you open up your camera app Just make sure you turn up the gain

[@nathanvray]

Great video! I’m having trouble with this way though. There’s a ton of hiss/static noise. I already lowered the gain to a good amount. Any tips you can help me out with?

[@Theryanprim]

It’s probably a bad cable, or your in ear monitor has some buzzing

[@marve4025]

Great video! Do you know how to connect it to a Behringer Powerplay P1 Personal In-Ear Monitor Amplifier or is it the same process

[@Theryanprim]

I believe this would be the same process just use the splitter to plug into the personal mixer Use one side of the splitter to connect to your phone and the other to connect to your headphones!

[@yohannesbulcho]

Thanks for this vid! I just used this setup (w/ minor adjustments) to record myself on drums for a gig and it came out great.

[@Theryanprim]

[@scottlovesplayingbass3495]

My IEM’s are wireless. Is there going to be a delay?

[@Theryanprim]

I’ve never tried it with wireless IEMs but to my knowledge I don’t there should be a delay as long as it’s plugged into your receiver for your iems

[@Hiden194]

But its will be stereo or mono for master? Pls help

[@ChrisCadenhead]

this looks like mono

[@vincebarnhart2895]

[@josem9188]

Hi there! I have a question, when you use this way to record music, when your playing live, can you also capture rest of the instruments and the singers? Or just your own instruments? Thanks, great video!!

[@Theryanprim]

It captures whatever your in ear mix is, so if you have the bass and guitar in your mix it will pick it up when you record.

Hey Ryan, great video, do you need to make sure you have All other Apps Closed? I did the same set up today on stage, but my Irig didn’t record it was still using the phone mic. Frustrating as I finally had it all ready to go and phone on a stand to record, but couldn't get any audio. I'm just using the CAMERA VIDEO recorder. Should this work ok? It did once, but not anymore. I had a few other apps open like Tempo, Zoom, Snapchat, didn't think I needed to close All other apps?

No you should not have to close out apps, make sure that the FX switch is not tuned on on the side

Thanks so much you probably need to turn down the gain on your I rig Something I always recommend to do is test it after you play along for a little bit with your phone. That way you can hear it back and see if it’s distorting or not.

[@Theryanprim]

Thank you so much for watching the video! I would use a different wireless pack or aviom to plug into the irig outside of your personal monitor. Otherwise you will not hear what you play on the drums!

[@LaceChaser]

Fresh from rehab, I’m trying to tryout for sober bands and need help if you can? I may just be confused. I want to do drum covers and add drums to tracks my band mates send me. I’m trying to get to where I can record a video of me drumming with the audio of the drums going over the audio I’m listening to in order to make a full song. I have all these adapters along with this larger iPhone adapter that has a picture of a camera next to a lightning port as well. It’s a camera adapter I believe. I also have a GoPro, mixers, mics, and a handheld Tascam MKII recorder with mic input and headphones out. Should I just use the iPhone with some of these items, or possibly get better audio through more effort? I’m not very tech savvy, but I have a full studio of gear. I just want to make quick videos for now with my drums over audio I have on my phone. Any tips for the easiest way to achieve decent sound and wider with what I’ve got without spending an hour wiring mics up? Thanks in advance to ANYONE who can help. I really need to get my mind focused on music so I don’t relapse. If I’m being totally honest here.

[@mickyj8412]

What interface would you use to record? I have a Samsung and it seems it doesn't record using the voice recorder. I currently use Fl Studio Mobile which is good but little hard to use and it's a bit untrustworthy because last night at a worship night I hit record and it didn't record

What on your iPhone do you record into? Like are you just using the video setting on the camera app? Or are you going into garage band?

[@Theryanprim]

You can use the Apple camera app (and the audio and video is automatically synced Or you can use garage band to record your audio

Great video and clear presentation!! Will this setup for the iRig 2 work if I'm trying to do video also, while running my Roland TD-17KVX kit through EZ Drummer 3 on my laptop? If not what would the connectivity look like? For reference, at my disposal I have the laptop, an iPad Pro, IEMs, and of course my Galaxy S21 phone. I also have the splitter, 1/4 inch to 3.5mm cable as well as the dongle you have in the video and two 1/4 cables for the L/R outs on the back of the TD-17. I've looked everywhere and cannot find anything up to date so far that works for my particular setup, so I'm hoping you might be able to shed some light on how my connectivity should look. Also would the 1/4 connection at the other end of the iRig 2 be needed for anything? Any assistance is greatly appreciated!! I subbed to you also so I look forward to more great content!!

[@Theryanprim]

I’m not sure about that particular set up the only suggestion I could offer is to utilize the headphone out from your TD-17KVX

I don’t understand why you Need the irig. What does it do for you and what would happen if you just record the same way but without the irig? Thanks

[@Theryanprim]

The irig 2, allows you to record directly onto your iPhone, so you don’t have to get a different recording and then attach it to the video, the mix from your ears is already attached to the video.

The P-16 already has a Headphone out and a line-out so there is no need for the splitter, right? or am i missing something?

The splitter is not needed if you have a p16, however, if you have an in ear pack or something else that doesn’t have both you will need one

[@diovdL]

Hi! So I feel kinda stupid for asking this, but I keep asking myself something.. Doenst the I-rig have a mini-jack aux output? I mean, I don't own one, so I don't know, but I spotted the headphone icon on the I-rig. So to me it seems like I'd just plug the I rig directly into my android phone, plug the jack from my in-ear monitor into the jack input on the I-rig, and then plug my in-ears into the mini jack aux output on the I-rig. But obviously I'm missing something here. Can somebody tell me what it is? Thanks!

[@diovdL]

Yeah, so apparently the answer was down in the comments. It records in mono. If this is it, I'm covered haha. If not, let me know anyways ;)

Yes it should!

[@andrew_d.__]

Thanks for the video! Here’s a question. If I get this irig for recording my in ear mix, why can’t I just plug my in ear monitors into the phones section of the irig while recording into my phone? Why do I need the splitter when I can just plug my ears direct into the irig?

[@Theryanprim]

Of course, happy to help! I don’t believe that will work because where will you be getting the sound from that you plug your headphones into from the irig? Does that make sense?

[@andrew_d.__]

@@Theryanprim haha I don’t understand the question I’m sorry man! I’m sure you understand mine but let me give you a little more context so hopefully that helps. I normally plug my in ear monitors directly into my pack and that’s all I need, so in that case signal is running from the pack then into my ear monitors. I’m wondering if instead of sending the signal from my pack to my in ears, I send the signal from my pack to the irig input, where the guitar icon is. From there I’m thinking I should be able to plug my in ear monitors into the headphone portion of the irig, and on the opposite end of the irig I have it plugged into my iPhone with the dongle. With this method I’m eliminating the “y” aka “splitter” cable. I’m thinking I should get output from the irig both into my iPhone camera app and my in ear monitors at the same time with that method. Will that work or do I have to use the splitter cable instead? Thanks for working with me here 😁

Make sure that the irig 2 does not have the FX switch (on the side) turned on. Make sure you are using your apple camera to record video, also, make sure you are using your splitter.

Usually noise comes from a power issue. It could be that it is plugged into too much power that is on the same grid, also that’s really exciting that you are recording your videos!
