USB instruments on ipad GarageBand?

What tool do I need in order to plug in USB microphones and drums into the ipad. I got a generic camera connection kit but it doesn't seem to work. Someone point me in the right direction please. Thanks?

The iPad Camera Connection Kit has an adapter for male USB plugs, see for example http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/712021-REG/Apple_MC531ZM_A_iPad_Camera_Con nection_Kit.html
But for best audio quality you may want to connect a microphone to an audio interface, for example the iRig.

Does anyone know yet if the new iPad will support a USB microphone plugged into Garageband via iPad's USB Camera Adapter?

Hi,
I've ordered a new iPad 64Gb which will arrive early April. My hobby is making music, so does anyone know yet if the new iPad (3rd generation) will support a USB microphone plugged into Garageband via iPad's USB Camera Adapter? I am hoping to use such a portable setup to record live performances of voice & acoustic instrument.
Thank you,
John.

When in doubt, try it out. I bought the Apple camera connection kit & used it to connect my Blue Snowball usb mic to my new iPad 3rd generation. It works just fine. I made some test recordings in GarageBand on my iPad 3 using my Snowball mic. They sound great.

I am buying an audio interface with Firewire output, would I feed this into Firewire,USB or Thunderbolt for Garageband?

I don't have a H4 but do have a H2. Did you set the H4 as a audio interface, after you plug it in choose interface in the H4 screen?
Did you choose the H4 input channel in the track info?

Is there a USB Instrument driver developer tool for CVI

Is there a USB instrument driver developer tool/guide for CVI?

Hi! ASIC LabRat,
I agree with your comment. IVI drivers take too much overhead and the executing speed can be very slow compared to the drivers developed using VISA platform. The previous link sent by the NI engineer was very old (2001) and doesn't really help you at all.
Please take a look at this one instead: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4713.

I just got my MIDI to USB cable, fired up Garageband. I clicked the basic lessons, tried Play. But the lesson guy is playing. I'm the one who needs the practice.

G35Guy:
Well, if that's the case, you must have a different finish on yours than I have on mine. Either that or you are extrordinarily careful when using it. Mine literally scratches when using a microfibre cloth. I would really like to know whether yours is somehow different. It would really piss me of if some people got a good quality exterior that doesn't scratch and some of us got the opposite. Did you try holding your player under a light to see if there is anything. You may just be looking at it in bad lighting. I find it hard to believe, unless your unit has a different type of plastic cover, that it hasn't received any type of scratches. Can you take a picture of it's It probably seems as though I don't believe you. That's not the case. Its just that I was so careful not to scratch it last night and it got scratched anyway. I have read of similar experiences by others who have the Vision:M as well.
I wish I could return mine and get a different color, it really upsets me that a $300 item that is meant to be hand held and used heavily scratches this easily!! If anyone from creative is reading this, I would like to know what you plan to do about it! I didn't pay all of that money to have this player look like Sh*t when I am only using it the way it was intended and am being very careful at that!

How to use usb files on ipad mini

how to use usb files on ipad mini

If you're trying to read files off a USB drive onto an iPad, it really doesn't work. The iPad can read specifically named photo and video files off SOME USB drives, but cannot read documents or music or other kinds of files. And there is zero support to write info from the ipad onto any USB device

How can I view the files I have in an USB in an IPad mini

I have an IPad mini and I would like to view some files I have in an USB memory in my apple device, I can connect the USB to the IPad mini but I cannot see the files.
Thank you!

You can only use the kit to copy photos and videos to the iPad's Photos app, it won't work with other file types. If they are photos and/or videos then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of it with the photos underneath it, and the photo/video filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them

Why does emailing a song from iPad Garageband distort the music?

When using Garageband for iPad (which is amazing by the way), when I export to iTunes, the sound is perfect. When I use the email export function, I find that there are almost always often distortions, artifacts, or ommissions.
My process is usually to make the song, make a screenshot, switch to photoshop, rotate the screenshot, go to Photos, copy the screenshot, return to Garageband, export to email, wait for the encoding to take place, paste the photo beneath the song in the email, then send the email (usually to posterous).
If I export through my mac in iTunes it seems to work flawlessly.

I've found that the AAC file exported through iTunes or through email are exactly the same... however... I've noticed this: Sometimes when I first boot up iPad garageband and start playing a song, I get distortion, dropped notes or ends of notes. If I stop the song, rewind and play again, it sounds fine. Just recently I booted up garageband and WITHOUT opening or playing the song, I exported the AAC (.m4a) file to iTunes and also emailed it to myself. Both versions had chopped notes, stuttering, etc. throughout the whole song!!! On a hunch, I went back to garageband, opened the song and played it. Sure enough, at the beginning it played like sh*t. When I touched the 'go to beginning' button and played again, it played fine. I then closed the song and exported as the above procedure. Both files played fine!
Maybe it's my earbuds but the imported songs sound duller than when listening to the originals on the iPad.

Trying to Hookup Yamaha THR10 USB guitar amp to Garageband.

Hi !! I'm trying to hook-up a Yamaha THR10 Usb guitar amp to Garageband.
The only way to get sound, unless recording, is to put the "Input" as Electric Guitar.
I'd rather not use this as the signal then goes through a simulated Mac amp.
If I use a "Real Intstument" Input I can only hear the sound after recording not during recording.
Thank You for your help !!!

Using 2 or more USB instruments with Logic Pro

I recently purchased a Korg M3 (which is great). I'm considering adding a Motif XS rack.. My question, are any Logic Users out there using Logic Pro with two or more USB instruments connected?
Are there any issues with that (other than assigning to different MIDI channels)? Does USB bog down when there is too much data?

I'm only using these three lines of code. If they don't work, neither will any more lines.
I discovered the issue thought. If I read two different fields from the same user-defined table then it works. If I read from two different user-defined tables I get the error. Apparently B1 can't handle parameters being set from two different ud tables.
This works:
DECLARE @S2 nvarchar(30), @S3 nvarchar(30)
SELECT @S2 = (SELECT T0.U_Country FROM [dbo].[@COUNTRIES] T0 WHERE T0.U_Country = '[%2]')
SELECT @S3 = (SELECT T0.U_CCode FROM [dbo].[@COUNTRIES] T0 WHERE T0.U_CCode = '[%3]')
While this does not:
DECLARE @S2 nvarchar(30), @S3 nvarchar(30)
SELECT @S2 = (SELECT T0.U_Country FROM [dbo].[@COUNTRIES] T0 WHERE T0.U_Country = '[%2]')
SELECT @S3 = (SELECT T0.U_AdCode FROM [dbo].[@BPGROUPS] T0 WHERE T0.U_AdCode = '[%3]')

My M-Audio Fast Track stops working when switching instruments/tasks in Garageband.

I bought an M-Audio Fast Track along with a few imacs for my students to use in my classroom. I have it installed and it works sometimes. I seem to have to have a fresh restart of osx and garageband, then it picks up the guitar and its usable with all the effects and cool stuff in garageband. If I switch something, like add another instrument guitar track, or switch to another task like browse for a bit then come back it stops working. I cannot get it to work again without restarting osx. It does not pickup the fast track if I restart garage band or replug in the usb.
I bought this through apple, so I figured it was supported and would work great for my stuents. I have found support has changed for this device.
Any tips before I look into returning it?
Sean

I think that definitely helped. When I switch sound devices I can get both the midi and m-audio to record at the same time without rebooting.
If your familiar with the m-audio box I still cannot get sound out of the headphone jack part of the box. Ive chosen that as the output in both audio settings in osx and the output in garageband. I can hit the monitor button on the box and hear a clean guitar, but no output as far as garageband effects go.

Saving iPad Garageband audio to a thumb drive

Hi All,
I am trying to help a friend - he wants to record audio using an iPad & a remote microphone using Garagaband.
How can he save the files remotely? Can he use the Camera Connection kit and a thumbdrive to save the files? Can he plug in a USB hard drive and save the files on there? Sorry, I don't have the Camera Connection kit myself, so I can't try it...
- Thanx
- Jon

not sure about a thumb drive but garageband allows you to email the files pretty easily.
