Sir,i'm following ur chnl for last few months n they r really amazing.i'm looking for a solution n i think ur the only person can help me out...i use iphone 7 with bias fx and i wish to use a melo audio midicommander in a portable format.prob is iphn 7 dont have a 3.5 headphn out but having only a lightning output..my question is can the usb powerd hub be powered by a mobile smartphne charger? So i can attach i phn to that camera kit to go to usb hub n power it by a mobile smartphone charger..n add the melo audio midi commander n berhinger 202hd interface to usb hub...will this work??

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there my friend. Yes, if you are looking to power a powered hub using a power bank or portable battery you can definitely do this, but you will need an adapter for the power cable. Take a look at this video where I show how to create this sort of setup - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWOvoX-gfdN-fdk

Hey Pete. I have an iPad Air 3rd gen. (Lightning connector) Scarlet 2i2 3rd gen. Oxygen61 midi keyboard I have the camera connector/adaptor and an insignia usb 3.0 powered hub. I want to record my midi keyboard and then run my vocals through the 2i2 and monitor with headphones plugged into the 2i2 all into garageband. I have followed the steps you have on the video Multiple times. I have plugged and unplugged multiple times and cannot get them all to work together. What am I missing here? Could this just be the insignia 3.0 powered hub I am using possibly? I am running out of hair to pull out!

[@adde65]

Great info thanks. I was scratching my head looking at some other videos, because most of them don't make it clear that the audio is routed in and through the iPad and then back out!

[@peteandpuy]

One of the best, Prof. Here is your low-cost home studio config with incredible recording ability. Pete could have plugged in a guitar instead of a mic into the Steinberg. I will immediately change my recording setup as a result of this video. Didn't think the keyboard could be always in the loop because I didn't realize the powered hub would power it, a Game Changer! Pete, you've shown us all what a minimal recording config might look like. This is really important guys! Thank you.

[@peteandpuy]

I needed to power the Steinberg with the 5v plug. Just plugging it into the powered hub alone didn't work. Did you have to as well? You have a newer model.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Cheers for the kind words my friend. There should be a switch on the back of your Stienberg that switches it between bus power and 5V DC?

[@peteandpuy]

@@PeteJohnsMusic I do have that switch but my Steinberg wouldn't work without powering it with the 5V connection. The USB into the powered hub as well. Odd that you don't have to. It works fine, it just needs to be powered. You have a different model of the UR12.

Also, when you connected Tendak to the UR22C, I'm assuming you used usb A to usb C. If UR12 works with midi, I'm assuming I will need to use usb A to usb mini(?) Or whatever it's called?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. So the UR12 doesn’t have direct MIDI support. If you’re using USB MIDI keyboards you just connect these as separate devices to the powered hub. You can then use them together when recording as I show in the video. The Steinberg UR22C has MIDI in and out if you’re using an older style MIDI keyboard - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHO6YqenhNZ9b80

The only thing I can think of is my USB 2.0 powered hub is not enough. I can run 1 interface but not 2… I basically trying to get 8 channels from two identical 4ch interfaces.😢

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. Unfortunately iOS only supports one audio input and output at once, so you’d need an interface with more inputs if you want more than 2/4.

[@webingerphoto49]

Hi Pete...very informative video on studio set up! My question is what brand studio monitors are you using and are they plugged into the usb interface to hear on playback?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. I was using KRK Rokits back then but now I've fallen in love with these - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGrahIltlteZbqs

[@agape1005]

Just found your channel this is amazing!! How can I record multiple vocals? And have you tried low priced microphones like fifine 669? If not what what other lower priced microphones could you recommend?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. All my recommended gear is at studiolivetoday.com/gear. You can record multiple tracks. Check out my web page here for information on USB devices to do this - studiolivetoday.com/usb

thanx thanx nearly nearly How do I get an audio interface with an usb connection or does it go in the power sockit.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

This video will help explain this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZSQkH-fqtaciKM

Pete Johns thank you sooooo v v much will keep trying and check out facebook.kind regards and rainbows to you.

If I have a powered audio interface, do I have to use a powered usb hub?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Generally not, no. But you will want the Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter to ensure a reliable connection.

[@twigstails5776]

Great info! Just what I was looking for. Thank you so much for posting this. I'm going to buy the USB hub and Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter through your links. Will the Steinberg UR12 work the same way? Or does it not do MIDI? I'll need to input vocals, would like option to input guitars at some point, and would like to have MIDI option to use external keyboard. I'm on a tight budget and looking for good budget/quality balance for an interface to use with iPad Pro 9.7" (from a few years back). Any tips much welcomed! Thanks again.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hello there! Thanks for watching and for supporting the channel. Yes, the UR12 is a great interface too and the only drawbacks are no MIDI, no stereo TRS input and no balanced TRS output. You can however use the hub and a USB MIDI keyboard as I show in the video. More details are at studiolivetoday.com/usb

[@twigstails5776]

@@PeteJohnsMusic Thanks so much for the reply! I've decided to order the UR22C. The drawbacks you mentioned for the UR12 in your reply above convinced me! Do any of your videos address how to hook up an iPad Pro (it's a few years old) to an older model desktop LCD screen? I thought I saw something in one of your videos about this, but could not find the reference again. Or maybe it was just wishful thinking that I saw it?... LOL! Cheers! Thank you again for your super helpful vids. :)

[@attila1899]

Hi. Great video. In this setup if I buy a usb mic than I don’t need interface, only when I want to connect 2 mic or guitar ?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yup. You’ll only need an interface for a guitar or XLR mic.

[@brianclifford5791]

Absolutely super series of videos, Pete. So, so valuable! 😉 Quick question... I have an Anker PowerExpand 11-in-1 multiport hub with a usb-c connector. I'd like to have the benefit of all those ports on my iPhone. Can I use this hub with my iPhone, (via the Apple usb Camera adapter), and power the Anker hub itself from a/c wall power using an Apple usb-c power adapter and Apple usb-c charge cable? ☺

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

So, I’m theory yes if you have the right adapters. Definitely need the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter in this setup. studiolivetoday.com/usb

Hi Peter…. Your videos have been a great guide to using GarageBand with IPad. I’ve recently started recording my band at rehearsal with the Beringer Uphoria 8 channel interface with some very promising results. Question. Is it possible to add a second interface to increase amount of mics / channels I can record simultaneously…??

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. Not in iOS I’m afraid. iOS can only use one input and output device at a time. studiolivetoday.com/usb

[@garcia360fotografiayvideo]

Would this work if I want to record only my voice in the camera app of the iPhone?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yup. Any apps including the camera will work with a USB mic or a microphone plugged in via an audio interface.

[@dananthony6258]

I have guitar software on my iPad but record on my mac. Is there a way to connect my iPad to MacBook and use that software like a plugging ?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Not specifically sorry. You'd like need to use the iPad versions and then create project or audio files to bring in to the Mac.

[@guardian860]

Sir, does all of that rig works with igrand piano? I have a plan to use my older yamaha p105 digital piano with igrand piano apps using android smart device.

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. I’m not an Android user so not sure sorry? Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.

[@Concreteowl]

Does this reduce USB noise?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. A decent quality USB hub can ensure you don’t get any interference or issues. studiolivetoday.com/usb

[@Concreteowl]

@@PeteJohnsMusic thanks. I plug my Modal synths in to use their app but cable noise is a real issue. I thought putting distance between the source and the connection might make the issue better or worse depending as you say on the quality of the equipment.

[@federicosilvero5104]

Hi Pete! Thank you for your help! Excuse me, but I have a question. I bought the original Apple lightning /usb3 adapter like yours! Can I use an unpowered usb hub to connect a Nektar Impact lx25+ and a Yamaha mg10xu? (yamaha has its own power supply). Thank you 🧡

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. So, this may work, especially if you are plugged in to power in the genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter. A powered hub is still my recommendation however to be sure.

[@federicosilvero5104]

[@gmbproducer9617]

Hi, thanks for the content. Been following you for the past week. Very helpful. One question: I can’t get my setup to work on instagram live etc. it is just working when recording in certain apps. Any suggestion how to make my studio available live in instagram ?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Yeah, some iOS apps default back to the built in mic and don’t like USB audio for some reason. I’ll continue testing these in the future but it can vary across different appsz

[@JTMusic880]

How is the latency with this setup?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

I've personally never had any issue with latency? There is always going to be some, but there is not too much in my experince.

[@markbaranda5422]

does UR 22 audio interface works for Android phone specially when it's use for livestreaming or video recording? thank you so much🙂

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Not sure sorry as I don’t use Android. But the interface is class compliant so doesn’t need drivers to run, which means it should be compatible with most platforms.

[@HubertEtAlice]

Hi nice setup but I am confused. Why do I need the USB to Lightning adapter? Wouldn’t it be possible to connect the iPad directly to the hub with the regular Lignhning data cable, which comes with the iPad and which has an USB A plug? Or is the adapter really necessary so that the digital data can come through? What’ am I missing?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hey there. Yes, the Lightning to USB adapter is required to create the proper host that can transfer data and power.

[@HubertEtAlice]

Pete Johns Hi thanks. Do you mean it is a smart adapter with some electronics inside and not merely a « dumb » adapter replacing the Lightning socket by an USB A socket?

[@patriciam.750]

Hi Pete... Thank you for your videos. I tried connecting my USB hub to my iPhone through the white lighting device but the light of the hub keeps tripping off and it won't connect. I had to connect the hub directly to a socket and then connect my audio interface directly to my phone. How do I add a keyboard since the hub isn't directly connected to my phone but to a power socket?

[@PeteJohnsMusic]

Hi there. Make sure you are using a powered hub and genuine Apple Lightning to USB adapter. This video might help - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZSQkH-fqtaciKM

[@patriciam.750]

Pete Johns thank you. I've seen the video. It helped me in my setup. I guess I'll get another lightning usb adapter. Thanks again.
