This Device Completely Changed my TikTok Streams! - iRig Stream Solo + Focusrite 2i2

[@noizemakerz]

this was a HUGE help ! Just came across info for the irig and debating between the solo or the stream - sounds like solo is all that's needed 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@ganondork6284]

I don't really plan to stream much on TikTok but this video is really good. The editing is great and professional, and the info is laid out really well.

[@canaan_may]

Thank ya sir 🫡

[@CatharticGuitar]

Very informative. I think I’ll need to watch it a few times and take notes. Thanks.

[@kazielbonn]

Shure SM57... Legend. I have an old one that I used to mic my Vox AC15C1 amp with many years ago. I now use it for my wife's vocals when she livestreams to TikTok and with a bit of EQ and Compression, I got it to sound pretty close to an SM7B. Sounding good in your setup too.

[@joelbetancourt4404]

Hello, good video. I have a problem, I have all the connections like you, but the sound is horrible, terrible, what could be the problem? To record video with my cell phone and to broadcast live on Tik Tok, the sound is horrible, what could be wrong? It sounds good in headphones but the result is terrible. plz help

[@SickOfMetal]

very helpful brother. thank you.

[@brightbulbstudios]

On your tiktok livestreams are you able to enter somebody else's box. Ive been having to unplug my irig to be able to hear anyone else when it's my turn to play guitar.

[@canaan_may]

I’m not 100% sure. I know I’ve seen other people keep theirs plugged in but I’ve never done a duet live myself.

[@gonzosx]

Hey really great video! Do you have to wear headphones when you’re streaming with a set up like this? Can you hear your music coming through the speakers and the live stream will come out good without wearing headphones? Thanks!

[@canaan_may]

Thank you! Mmmm, There may be a way to have the audio go out to both the interface and system speakers but I haven’t tried that myself. But if you’re just sending the audio out through the interface you could split the aux out to a set of speakers or just connect the speakers where the headphones would go in the iRig.

[@NotYou3005]

But how often do you think about the Roman Empire?

[@Jaded_fate]

Thank you so much

[@Lupo117]

Collegando irig al Mixer se attivo la funzione phantom 48+ avendo collegato anche il cellulare con il phantom si brucia il cellulare?

[@adamjenkins3065]

Can you use this setup do to TikTok Duets? Can you hear audio from phone at the same time as hearing audio from your audio interface? Is there a delay at all?

[@canaan_may]

I believe so. You can hear the audio from your phone through your headphones and it will still record your computer audio as well natively in TikTok. I’ve never noticed a delay but I’ve never tried to play along with audio from my phone either.

[@YannisKazakos]

Hello! Great video! Do you know if this device can record stereo? I see the L & R rca inputs but I am not sure about it. I mean if you play using a ping pong delay is this gonna be recorded correctly and sound ok at the tiktok video (given that you use headphones on your phone of course)?

[@canaan_may]

I’d have to test this theory to see. I’ll try to remember to reach out once I see on my next live tonight.

[@Hesstopher_Music]

After everything is hooked up like you have it , Can I just use KZbin backtrack to run on Tiktok Live while I stream instead of garage band ?

[@canaan_may]

For sure! Any audio playing in the computer you’ll be able to hear. I use KZbin and Spotify a good bit during my streams.

[@xDirtyDeedx]

My daw is studio one 6 pro. I have android. And PC. will this irig solo work on that as well? I am looking for all the cables etc I will need. I just followed you the other day on tictok and just subscribed to this channel

[@canaan_may]

Thank you so much. I believe it should as long as you are able to send your computer’s audio back out of your audio interface like I show here

[@TheTomLees]

Do you have a demo of how it sounds when it's all hooked up? I'm seeing a lot of reviews saying it doesn't do what people are wanting. All I'm wanting to do is essentially stream my recording sessions in Logic. Just show people my process for making music and they can come and hang out, but I obviously want it to sound good. Would the Irig Solo do that for me? My current recording setup is: Guitar>Boss ME-80>Scarlett 2i2>Logic

[@canaan_may]

Oh nice! I imagine it should as long as you have logic set to sending the audio out to the computer’s system and the computer audio set to send out to the Scarlett 2i2. There’s a short clip I included in the video but if you wanna hear more all the audio in this short clip was recorded using the iRig on TikTok: kzbin.infoXUq2VSWfIpw?feature=share

@@canaan_may Update - I got a second hand Irig Stream!

[@canaan_may]

That’s awesome! Hope everything works well!

[@justinscott9733]

Hi Cannan great video! I have a Presonus Studio 2/4 USB that I've had for a few years that I was wanting to use to start making videos. Do you think that it would be a good audio interface to get quality sound?

[@canaan_may]

Thanks so much! I would imagine so. For my two covers on my channel I used a TS Mini (I hadn’t bought my focusrite at the time) which is a pretty low end audio interface and I feel like the audio turned out fairly good. I think sound quality would probably come more from the mic and/or amp sim you’re running than anything else.

[@mizznaughty83]

Can u do an iPad version of this please

[@canaan_may]

I’m sure it would work the same. Just need a USB-C adapter instead of a lightning one

[@MissLeianna]

I am a singer and I want to play an audio track while singing. Can you add reverb to the vocals only while the music is playing ?

[@canaan_may]

Yes! You would just have to manually turn the reverb on and off as needed.

[@daSTARPlayer]

I know this may be a dumb question, but I don't want to do live streams...I just want to pre-record. Would it work for pre recording as well or only livestreams?

[@canaan_may]

If you want to use your phone to record video and have your interface audio then yes this works for that as well. Otherwise if you’re just recording audio there’s no need for anything other than an interface.

[@danawakes2001]

Hey man, thanks for the video. Do you think it'd be possible to use a 2nd Focusrite interface instead of the iRig thing? I have 2 so I'm wondering if it'd be possible. Thanks!

[@canaan_may]

Unfortunately if you’re running audio into an iPhone you will need something like an iRig to convert the audio. It won’t pick up directly from your interface even with two unfortunately.

[@Double00zeven]

If you have last years Iphone 15 which is having the type C port, Audio Interface 1 can be connected directly to the phone. So, Audio interface 2, connected to your pc, while the outputs directly plugged in at the 2 inputs of Audio Interface 1. And so on.... planned to try it though. I currently use PC->audio mixer->audio interface->iphone set up.

[@DJPaulDiddy]

I’m using mine to record from my Rane dj controller and I can’t seem to get it to sound loud after recording I had. My levels set perfectly in yellow just before clip level and it sounded good in headphones but the final recording level sounded low ? Also I’m using iPhone 13

[@canaan_may]

I’m not sure tbh. Sorry. 😬. May have to boost in post but I’m not super savvy when it comes to audio producing.

[@TommyTSP]

Im currently trying to stream on tiktok only using a Irig solo and the audio is awful whats a cheaper alternative for the Focusrite 2i2?

[@canaan_may]

Look into the MeloAudio TS MIN. You can probably get it around $60 or so I believe. Small portable audio interface but I never had an issue with audio quality. In fact the two covers I have on my channel used it.

[@TommyTSP]

@@canaan_may cheers mate yea iv returned the irig solo as i believe it could be a faulty unit someone said as the audio is super distorted. could i just use a MeloAudio TS MIN just by itself or will i need to buy another irig?

[@TommyTSP]

unfortunately the MeloAudio TS MIN. isnt available in the uk atm i cant find it listed anywhere

[@joneseyhj9056]

Hi I am a singer songwriter and I’m going to be doing a live in lounges tv in aug. Can you help me with my set up. I will be using full pro. Original backing tracks either run from my phone or and MP3?? or from my Mac computer? I have a UR 44C audio interface. I have a condensing mic a Mac and an apple iPhone 14 I will be using OBS through Lounges TV. I will also want effects on my microphone and a way of mixing my voice with my tracks 🙈very confused as I have no knowledge of live streaming as I normally play with a live band. Plz can you help x

[@canaan_may]

The best I can tell you is from my experience I run all my live audio in Garage Band and all my backing music in Spotify or KZbin. You’ll want to have OBS set up to be able to capture all the audio being produced in your computer. It’s been a long time since I set that up for myself but I know there are lots of tutorials for that here in youtube. Hope this helps get you in the right direction. ✌🏻

[@joneseyhj9056]

@@canaan_may thank you Canaan. Yes have garage band and my friend set up OBS and all my original backing tracks are on my Mac. I have audio interface and webcam and I’ve been looking here on KZbin for tutorials to learn how to run all this but as a total beginner to using audio and OBS and everything else via computer I can’t find anything basic enough that shows me in stages how to use everything. As a total beginner I’m finding it hard to find anything basic enough. Thank you so much for your fast reply. I appreciate it very much.

[@Mr.yapper69]

What am I doing wrong 😭 cuz my videos come back super bass blasted. I’m putting the audio down as much as I can but then I can’t hear it. The stream and hp volumes are basically the same

[@canaan_may]

Not sure. What do you have the volume set on the IRig? I keep mine between 8 and 10.

[@DJ_FIFO]

Can’t you just connect the audio interface to your phone without the irig ?

[@canaan_may]

Unfortunately not. It won’t pick up the audio without some kind of adapter

[@jnjmedia8321]

I tried this setup with google meet but the other person couldn't hear the guitar. Do you have any idea?

[@canaan_may]

I’m not sure as I’ve never done a call before on the phone with it. Maybe it was an audio input setting. Not sure.

[@therockinnerd]

do you have issue getting the volume right. i just got the Solo and trying to come out of the headphone on my scarlett 2i2 and when i get good volume on headphones it’s way distorted on the iphone

[@canaan_may]

Try turning the volume nob on the Scarlett down a little. If not, mess with the volume wheels on the side of the Solo. I have Stream Level set to 10 and HP Level at 8 with the Loopback turned off.

[@XDEMIX98X]

My iRig stream won't turn on, no indicator light at all... new batteries, it's connected exactly like this to my apollo twin interface, good cables checked everything.. I guess it just arrived broken??

[@canaan_may]

That’s weird. Is it the iRig Solo I use here?Once it’s connected to the phone there should be a green light that appears on the iRig. Whether or not the iRig is connected to the interface that light should appear. Not sure what to tell you. I suppose I could be just be a defective model.

[@XDEMIX98X]

@@canaan_may yes iRig solo! I think so too, hopefully when I change it out it works! 🙏 Super helpful video!

Hopefully so!
