Iphone 4 as audio interface?

I was thinking about this the other day, and is there any barrier for the iphone to keep it from being a true audio interface?
All it would need to be able to do is send audio as it was being recorded over the USB connection to a computer. Using devices such as iRig could provide the line in.
Would it be possible to one day record music live in Logic on a computer, just using your iPhone as the interface?

That's not a bad idea.
As it is, you can record audio onto the iPhone on location anywhere using the iRig or upcoming iRig Mic into the 4-Track Recorder in AmpliTube 2 or VocaLive, and then export them to your desktop computer through iTunes later.

IPhone 4S not supported by bmw audio interface

I have recently bought a BMW 1 series and have connected iPhone successfully via Bluetooth. However when I try to connect via the Y adaptor to access music, it is telling me that my device is not supported. The audio interface works fine with IPod Classic and my husbands IPhone 4S and connects immediately with both of these so not cable or BMW software.
Is there is something I am missing or anything I can do get my iPhone connected?

Wow, I have a VERY similar problem, although in my case Wifi Sync seems to work fine, but the iPhone 4s will not show up in iTunes on my Mac (running latest iTunes 10 on Lion).
I have an iPad 2 and it shows up in the sidebar just like it should over Wifi, Syncs fine, can transfer music to it, etc. No issues at all. But the iPhone just won't show up, period. Connect it via USB cable and everything is fine. Detach the cable - phone disappears.
Anyone have any suggestions on this one?

Cheapo alternative to Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter for audio interface?

I am getting an audio interface (Steinberg UR44) which can be controlled with an iPad via the Apple Lightning USB Camera Adapter and a standard USB printer cable (Type A male to type B male), but I am too cheap to buy the ridiculously overpriced Apple adapter, so I am wondering if the following will work instead:
iPad --> Apple lighting male to USB Type A male cable (the standard charging cable) --> USB Type A female to Type B male adapter --> Audio Interface
Other adapters are available for USB Type A female to Type B micro or mini male, so the same kind of arrangement might work for cameras.
The adapters are five bucks or less vs. thirty for the RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED (yes, I know, I already said that) Apple adapter.
I am thinking this is a better way to go than a cheap unlicensed knockoff lightning adapter, because the critical part of the connection (the lightning plug and electronics) would still be made by Apple.
Has anyone tried the above with either an audio interface or camera?

Because it was designed for use with the iPad. Apple makes no claim that it will work with an iPhone.

Set up USB audio interface in lion osx 10.7?

Hi
Having no success in connecting two USB audio interfaces in lion os x 10.7.2.
One is a focusrite saffire 6 USB
The other is a numark omni control
Have installed drivers for both (from their installation discs)
Neither is being recognised - have attempted to change input/output in sounds (within system pref) - simply no option there to select either
Is it anything to do with them being USB 1.1 perhaps?
Any ideas?

Thanks for the advice mate.
I should point out that I am without home broadband at present...
but before I picked up your message, I had checked both the numark and focusrite websites on my iPhone using 3G connection. I was able to download, transfer and install the current numark driver from my phone to my desktop - and the omni control appears to be working fine now.
I wasn't able to download the focusrite USB driver to my iPhone for some reason though. Better head out with a memory stick to use proper t'internet at my sister's tomorrow I guess!
I do wish that it was as easy to setup audio on new os x as on my novation xiosynth - it truly seems to be a 'plug and play' device.
Anyhow, much appreciated - thank you again for posting me the links.
Have a great day

Why can't Siri pause/resume any audio via the common audio interface in i

Siri should be able to pause or resume, even playbnext or previous for any audio in your iPhone. Since iOS has that shared audio interface you would think she would support the same features which are built into the operating system. But when you try it with pandora for example, she complains you are not listening to any music. Surely this is something that should be supported.

Sounds like a good idea. Let Apple know you'd like to see that feature:

IPad2 - Midi and Audio interfaces / Camera Kit

iPad2 question I have Midi and Audio interfaces, specifically Edirol UM-880 for Midi and Edirol UA-5 for Audio. If I get an Apple Camera Connection Kit, will they work with my iPad2

Check out the iRig:
http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigmidi/
It will connect "any" MIDI device to an iPad/iPhone.
(i don't have this--yet. I'm just using a USB powered keyboard with a powered USB hub with my iPad.)

(MacOSX Lion 10.7.4) The problem of connecting the audio interface (USB and FireWire), grained acoustic distortion!?

When you connect the audio interface to usb or firewire grained acoustic distortion, there is no loud noise in the acoustics! In the old "iMac24 Snow Leopard" was not like this!
Just bought the iMac21 lion, installed the new drivers and the two interfaces of different firms is presented, this acoustic problem.
I understand it comes from a usb and firewire!?
Help Me_____
Sorry for my english

Well, it's been a few days and with no response I thought I'd look for another solution. I've been trying this software called iVPN, apparently it's like a front-end to OS X's built-in VPN server. Anyway, I disabled the VPN Server from the Server app, turned on iVPN and was VPN-ing from my iPhone over 3G in notime. It's a great app, though it kinda ***** that the server can't do what it's built to do. Since VPN was the big reason I got Server in the first place, I'll probably uninstall it and stick with OS X's built-in file sharing and iVPN.

Newb question - audio interfaces - advice pls

Hey all, new to making music in the uk and have got myself a tutorial guide to logic and just getting started...cant wait to start making music, it seems awesome...
have got myself a macbook pro and logic pro 8.
I have discovered i'll need a midi audio interface asap to play a midi keyboard into logic, could anyone give me advice, if theres any that aren't compatible with macs or any that are particularly good for my price range/beginner model?
I am not likely to record more than 2 instruments at a time for a long while, probably just a keyboard for the foreseeable future, as i will probably just dabble in hiphop/trip hop beats to begin with
(have tried to search the forum but get a bit bogged down with the terminology as am new to this!)
any advice would be welcome...I dont mind paying between 150-200 for this..
thx very much!!

I'm proud to say that i only regretted the purchase of my first guitar : ) every other piece of equipment has served its purpose wonderfully...
if you are going to buy something that only does one thing, make sure it does it well...for example, make sure that the guitar your using is comfortable and crafted well...
if you are going to buy something for various uses (i.e. audio interface) make sure that the features it possesses are applicable to your cause. Dont spend all that money on a audio interface with preamps if you can't sing, dont want to sing, and never ever will sing...much in the same sense that one wouldn't buy an iPhone if they already had a good phone, a good ipod, a good computer...the money pays for convenience sometimes...
in this particular situation concerning audio interfaces, the money you're paying only goes so far for features (preamps, inputs/outputs) the majority of the money after those features really goes for the sound quality. I bought my firepod on ebay for half price and it works like a charm...just know what you want to contribute to your songs by purchasing one

Dolby Advanced Audio Interface software missing HP Pavilion Ultrabook 14-b003sa

I updated my HP Pavilion Ultrabook 14-boo3sa to windows 8.1 a couple months ago and since then the dolby advanced audio interface software is missing. The speakers are working and sound fine but I just want the option of the equaliser again. I have looked at the drivers available online and the most upto date driver for audio for this laptop is an IDT audio driver from 2012 for windows 8. Is there a more upto date driver that has the interface software? or is it just a case that the software has been removed on the update due to compatability issues? It sounds like dolby advanced audio is still active there is just no interface available as before I updated to windows 8.1. Please help. Thank you.

Hi Lhawley91,
I understand you are having issues with the Dolby Advanced Audio Interface software missing HP Pavilion Ultrabook 14-b003sa. This package contains the driver that enables the IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio for Windows 8.1.

I’m having an intermittent problem with my midi controllers triggering Mainstage 3.
I’m using a PreSonus Firebox audio interface.
It’s been working fine for months, but now when I first turn on the computer in the morning , I’m not able to trigger MainStage from the keyboard. I tried different midi controllers, different keyboards, different midi cords, and check midi preferences. The audio interface is working fine and is recogonized, but the midi doesn’twork. I re-started the computer several times and then finally it miraculously starts working again.
I’ve been having to this every day now. Any help or ideas is very much appreciated.

I Had the same problem with a FireStudio. Try unplugging the FireWire plug and the power plug. Wait for a few seconds, then plug both back in. The light on my FireStudio was flashing blue/red which means "not connecting." I did what I just described, and everything works again. Hope it works for you.

Emagic emi 26 audio interface not working

I want to turn my old dell inspiron 8100 PIII 1.2 Ghz / 512 MB RAM into my sound center, attached to active loudspeakers and a huge USB external harddrive.
Running arch linux and recently did pacman -Suy.
The internal sound card is broken, I only get distorted sounds (in windows as well).
I want to use my a bit dated emagic emi 26 usb audio interface.
The linux installations has (the exact paths are maybe different, writing from another machine now):
/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/emi26.ko
/lib/firmware/emi26
So it seems the interface is supported.
However, when I plug it in, nothing happens. Some LEDs light up on the interface,
but /proc/asound/cards only shows my Maestro3 sound card, also alsamixer
doesn't see the device.
If I enter "lsusb", the terminal hangs, no Ctrl-C helps! I can't even kill -9 it as root!
I have snd_usb_audio and emi26 in my MODULES in rc.conf, while having
!audio and !usb_midi there too.
lsmod shows that emi26 is loaded, as well as snd_usb_audio.
Does anybody have an idea on how to go about this?
I guess there must be some problem with the driver...
Thanks for any help

Hello,
"and now I cannot get sound out of my interface, even after trying to unistall that program and reinstall my interface driver"
Try using AppZapper: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/appzapper.html
This way you make sure you have UNinstalled all the associated files.

My iPad Air 2 is no longer recognizing my audio interface when I connect.

Basically I am using the camera connection kit to connect to my korg kronos keyboard, which has an audio interface. The couple times that I did this before, it worked. Sound from the iPad was routed to my monitor via the Kronos interface. I don't know what happened but I didn't use it for a week and ever since then when I connect the sound only comes through my iPad. I used to be able to use the Kronos As midi device to control my music apps but even that functionality doesn't work anymore.
ive tried doing a hard reset several times and in several combinations with the Kronos...such as powering both on at the same time but no luck.
the kronos works perfectly when I connect it to my laptop, so I'm convinced it's an issue with the iPad. When I plug the iPad to my computer it is recognized...so it can't be the connection port that is faulty.
THe kronos is the only class compliant device I have to test it on and have been unlucky so far.
ANy help?

Try doing a hard reset on the iPad. You can also check if your iPad needs to be updated too.
To update go to Settings - General - Software Update
To do a hard reset, i would suggest you do a back up first, either on iCloud or via iTunes.
First try shutting down the device off and on, if that does not help, then you can go ahead and do the hard reset.
Hard Resetting your device.
On your iPad, press and hold both the SLEEP/WAKE button and the HOME button for about ten (10) seconds. After ten seconds you should see the Apple logo showing up, you can then release your fingers from those buttons. Wait for your iPad to turn up completely, then try connecting your projector again to see if it works. I hope it does. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Windows 7 no longer recognizes or allows ASIO drivers for my usb audio interfaces

Hello All, last year I purchased a new version of Propellerheads Reason and the Balance digital audio interface that came with the bundle.
Everything was fine it all worked well, especially when I added asio4all drivers. (The Balance comes with its own asio driver).
Super low latency on my keyboard and midi guitar. I was using my midi guitar and set up at jams for several months last year and it was great!
One day I was getting ready for the jam session and I noticed that the latency on my midi guitar became so bad that I could not play in time with the other musicians.
I checked out the preference/audio page in Reason and saw that my asio drivers were missing! I immediately went and down loaded asio4all again and installed it. It would show up in any of my music software. I have tried removing and re-installing
the stock ASIO driver that came with Balance and no luck.
I suspect that shortly before this huge problem ( my music software is basically useless without asio drivers) I allowed a windows update to my system.
I think that somehow during one of these "updates" something changed and windows 7 no longer allows asio drivers on my computer. This really sucks!
Is there some way to get rid of the offending "update" that ruined my music system?
Thanks in advance!
Don

Thank you for your response FangZhou Chen, unfortunately this problem started last fast, possible early November so I can't do a restore that far back.
my best,
Don

Error message: "the previously selected audio interface is not available"

HELP?!?!?!?!?
I'm stuck, and I can't go forward. Here's my issue:
I've bought a Focusrite Saffire LE, a simple firewire audio interface, for use with my Logic Express 7 (with all the latest updates). I run the setup assistant and select my saffire as the audio interface to use, and then when logic runs I get the message "the previously selected audio interface is not available" and it defaults to my Macbook Pro's internal microphone and speakers.
Just for sanity I've tested the audio interface with garageband and it's fine. My other audio apps aso run fine using the saffire as the audio interface. The setup assistant for logic has no problem finding the saffire, so why does it get rejected as soon as logic starts?!?!?
Please - this is driving me crazy.

I asked Focusrite for some help, and they said it should work (which I knew) and made some suggestions. Here's their email:
"Saffire LE should work fine in Logic Express.
Try resetting your logic preferences. Go to Logic > preferences > initialise all except key commands.
Do you still have the same problem?
Do you have any other firewire devices attached?
Have you had any other interfaces installed in the past?"
All good suggestions, but so far no luck.
Has someone else got the same config as me? (15" Macbook Pro and focusrite saffire le)?

Iphone 4 as audio interface?
