Using an iRig to Record Electronic Drums

It’s so easy to record your electronic drums using an iRig.
I’m using the original iRig. So it should be the iRig 1.

I’ve done everything you’ve said but it’s not picking up any sound at all even the music. Please help also when I’m recording on my phone all I can hear is me hitting the drum pads

[@MrSamsoo]

Hello! Probably your phone cannot recognize irig input as a mic...therefore, it picks audio signals from built in phone mic....some phones need permission before using external mic...check out if yours has this issue....i hope that helps!

Actually if you’re interested in knowing I actually do use the irig 2 for my drum covers and it captures the audio just fine For anyone in the USA you can go to any local music store such as Sam Ash or guitar center to name a few and buy one The do tend to be a bit more expensive... almost $20 if you need one ASAP But just in case anyone wanted to know the difference or was wondering about it 👍

[@lizardears4861]

There’s no mention here of where the headphones are interconnected, so that you can hear Edrums and music source. My Roland TD07KV only has one output and hence may need a splitter cable. One cable to IRIG and one to headphones.

Thanks for good and basic explanation. Regards from Turkey.

Hi bro, thanks for the tips.. I just got one part that I can’t seem to figure out.. I can’t adjust the volume of my backing track and my drums to level them. Even if I try just reducing the volume of my drum module and increasing the sound of my music source (mac), the sound of the drum still overpowers the backing track. Any idea how to adjust both the output volumes? Thanks alot

[@edlye7694]

Have you figured this out? I'm facing the same problem

[@PennyPioquinto]

Same! Following this question/thread.

[@ksh84skaterpunk]

I ran into this problem as well. What I did was turn the volume setting to the mid-way point on my Roland drum module. Then I would turn up my music source (tablet) to max volume. This may sound like a strange idea and you might think your music source is way too loud. Trust me, on playback you will notice a big difference in the volume control/levels. After that you can tamper around a little bit to fine tune if need be.

[@ldt2319]

Thank you man..

[@bllcharliebeat]

What is you have a interface? Do the aux cord go in the interface or the drum module?

Zazee TV as long as module has an output jack it should work. Its really easy. You just need a seperate music source. In other words you use your phone to record video and another device to mix in to your module, I just use another old phone running off my wifi. Try one. Only costs a couple bucks on ebay. Might have to buy a cable to connect with module also. Ive already made a bunch of vids. Couldnt be easier. Check em out if you are really bored!
