he should then be able to plug an interface in with 4 inputs. Behringer will probably be the cheapest
I use the auria pro app... it’s superb. I can record 22 different channels from our live desk to it, then mix and master on the sofa.
incredible advances,
Are you using the in-built iPad microphone for getting ideas down or do you have it connected to an interface & use those inputs for guitar?
The inbuilt mics are fine for domestic sound level recordings, but if you take it to a practice studio and play with the band, you'll get lots of brick walling and distortion with the inbuilt mics. The MV88 sorted that out for me. That's fine.
So, that's my ad hoc recordings sorted out. But yes, I do have an audio interface. I have owned a Presonus AudioBox iTwo for several years and it's been good for me - into the iPad and into a Mac. It has the ability to use instrument level signals in the combi sockets. I've just bought an Audient Sono and I'm starting to play with that. The initial driver was Andertons were selling them off cheaply and there's a valve-based signal path for guitars that also includes running a cut down edition of Two Notes Wall of Sound. I bought I'd take a punt. It does seem to sound better and also makes it easy to get a raw guitar track for re-amping or using plugins at a later date. The mic preamps seem nicer than the Presonus ones, too. More natural. That doesn't plug straight into the iPad - you need to use the Apple camera/USB kit. I've also used my Gigboard audio interface into the iPad with the USB adapter as well. Works fine, so a Helix user would be OK too, I'm sure.
There's only one feature that Logic has which I'd like to see in GB for iPadOS. GB has one time signature and tempo per project. Logic lets you mix it up. For audio-only, that's not a problem, you just play what you want as a guide and take it from there. If you want to use software instruments or a drummer track, it's not really doable. I've ended up doing several projects (one per time sig) for one song and then stitching together the WAV files at the end.
I also have a Presonus AudioBox iTwo and it’s permanently setup with my Studio Monitors & laptop. I don’t want to disconnect everything for just an hour or so of playing on the iPad, then connect everything back together again so I can play through the studio monitors.
