Recording via garage band!?!?
« on: February 29, 2016, 12:57:20 AM »
Hey guys,

New to electric kits, but really love my Alesis dm10... I really want to be able to record directly into my garage band on my iPad via audio record... I have an attachment that goes quater inch main out directly into 1/8 inch into my iPad audio jack... I thought it would work just fine but no joy!? Any suggestion on working with that would be great, or any other ways of recording directly in to garage band!?

Ps.... Heard about the irig.... Any ideas ???

I'm pretty sure that 1/8" jack on the iPad is for headphones / audio out only. You'd have to use midi if that works on an iPad input.. I'd assume you'll need a usb coupler that goes to the wide connector on the iPad.. not even sure it's possible though.

No, it can be used as a mic input too, if you have the correct 4-contact-plug cable: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5302235?tstart=0

But this is a more like a cheap mic solution and not a pro audio connection via lightning/USB. Quality is poor.

A very sophisticated audio recording solution (i use it) would be this:
