Amazing video!!

What they don’t tell you is that if you are using an iPad and GarageBand the headphone socket won’t work immediately out the box if you are using headphones at the front, so the trick is to hold down the 48v button for five seconds, pull the power cable out, put the power cable back in so there is power, and once again pull the power out. This should enable the iPad and GarageBand to use the monitor function so you can use the headphone jack properly.

That's right. Scarlett is primarily designed for macOS and Windows PC and will initially be detected as a Mass Storage Device as it ships in 'Easy Start Mode' to make the process of creating an account and accessing the bundled content, as quick and easy as possible. Those who do not want to connect Scarlett to a computer first can manually remove the device from 'Easy Start Mode' using the phantom power button as described. This is covered in the User Guide, apologies if you had not been aware of this. John // Focusrite UK 🇬🇧

Hello Question! I just purchased a new 3rd Gen Scarlett 2i2, and I’ll mainly be using it along with a Rode NT1 microphone to record voice over audio to edit on my MacBook. Separately though, I’m going to be using my iPhone to film some videos for KZread, and I want to use the audio from my fancy mic and Scarlett 2i2 instead of the iPhone’s audio. Would I basically follow this same process? Thanks for the video!

I plugged my headphone into the Scarlett solo gen 3 and hear myself through the headphones just fine, but I can't hear the beat or any sound from my iPad (I connected it with a USB c cable from the iPad charger). The problem is I can't turn on the monitor in Garageband, why??? I'm very new about recording things, pls help.

Would you be able to use a mic connected to a Focusrite in a zoom call on an ipad?

BTW very good tutorial!!!

When I record in this manner, I get sound from the mic in channel 1, but nothing from my guitar in channel 2. The lines are showing up, showing it’s picking up sound, but nothing comes out. Help!

@focusritehelp Of i have this connected directly to the iPad and it’s on the magic keyboard which is charging also... will that be enough power? Or should I use the dongle method provided in the video?

Hello Can i have thé benefit of thé 4 différents audio streams from iPad apps thought thé 4 output of thé 4i4 ?

Amazing video! I was just about to buy a new interface for my iPad and decide to see if their was a way to use my Scarlett 2i2 with my iPad!! Happy I found this. I have a couple questions tho, 1. My iPad is a newer model but doesn’t have a usb c charger it’s the original one. I looked it up and found these cheap usb to regular iPad port. Would this still work or is data transferred different? 2. Alternatively my iPhone is usb c so I can always suck it up and do it on their 💁‍♂️. I’m a professional guitar loop creator and this lets me bring my work in the road, anywhere I go! Very excited if this works it’ll be a total game changer for me! Thank you for showing us how this process works! It’s really amazing how far technology has come and it’s only getting better, their has never been a better time to be a musician! Thank you again for the great video 🤌 - Alex

That may work, in theory, but please be aware, when it comes to iPad compatibility, only the USB-C iPad Pro is supported and this support is limited specifically to Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen and Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen, connecting as shown in the video. Whilst using other Scarlett audio interfaces with other iOS devices, such as Lightning iPads may be possible in theory, it isn't something that we're officially able to support. Results can vary, especially if using a third-party connection kit. Similarly, afraid none of our current products are designed or supported for use with iPhone.

I have a 5th gen iPad with a lightning cable and, today, I made it work. First, this isn't to disagree with the rep's statement below, and there was some work around, so clearly not a supported feature, yet possible. I got a small lightning to USB and lightning hub, but that wasn't enough power to make the Scarlett functionable. So I got a hub that allowed charging, yet it didn't allow lightning. However, if I combined these ... from iPad to small lightning hub ... with the lightning going to power, and the USB feed out going to main USB in the other USB hub. Then, the Scarlett is connected to a USB port on that second hub which support charging ... and it works and sends signal as desired. Good luck!

I have a 18i8 3rd model. When i take it out side to recording live band with my ipad, but it want to connect to computer to use Focusrite control app. This is so stupid. How can i bring all my computer and screen to recording live band? And if i have a computer near me, i don't need control app for anything either.

What is the process to record keyboard notes? Same as how you recorded the guitar?

Good tutorial. Learnt a lot. The only thing that I still wonder is how many track the 4i4 can deliver simultaneously to Garageband. I bought it for two, but need to record a trio. Is that possible?

@FocusriteHelp

Hi Audun, yes this is possible but the inputs 3-4 are designed for line-level inputs, so you may need to use a DI box to boost the signal if recording an instrument/mic. A line-level input such as most keys/synths should be fine into 3-4 though.

Does it work for iPhone camera video recording?

Nice tutorial. An app to change the settings on 4i4s and above would be really useful. Having to change these on a PC is a bit of a pain.

I just bought an IPad Pro that I connected directly to the Scarlett 2i2, when I play a video the sound cuts off just a few seconds later, the microphone works I can hear me talking. What could be the cause?

Sorry to hear that you're having problems. Do you have a Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen? Is the USB cable that you're connecting with very long? Cables over 2 metres can introduce connectivity issues.

Is the audio quality the same as if you were to record using a DAW and computer?

Hi Yeppy, while we cannot comment on any third-party applications and the quality of recordings/output from them, yes the quality will be the same from the Scarlett

can you use the interface with usb c to lighting to record on your iphone?

Yes you can, however, you do need a few adapters. Please refer to this article that explains the full connection process. You will need a USB hub that allows power delivery and a lightning-to-USB adapter. support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115005430409-Can-I-use-my-bus-powered-Scarlett-with-an-iPad-Lightning-port-

Wow thank You so much you guys are the best i got all my anwsers🥹🙏🏾✨ Thank you

Can the iPad Air handle the power draw of the Scarlett AND a condenser mic (XLR)? Or do you need the USB hub thingy? I was thinking of getting a Scarlett but wasn't sure of its power needs.

The bus-powered Scarletts will need a powered USB hub to draw power - it won't be able to draw power solely from your iPad. Here's more info: bit.ly/3a8YqoL Hope this helps!

@@FocusriteHelp I discovered indeed that the Apple - USB Type-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter works just fine. I plugged the power cord into the outlet, and it can sustain the Scarlett and a condenser mic just fine.

Thank you for doing this video but, as a newbie to Garage Band this didnt work for me at all. First of all, i wanted to record a non electric acoustic guitar using a Shure M57 mic while using another mic for vocals. I dont have an electric guitar. There is no selection process to choose this in the scroll display. I am closing down and ordering a printed guide. Thank You.

@@FocusriteHelp Thanks Guys. I may do that. My comment was not really related to a FocusRite problem except this product was supposed to allow download of Ableton Lite which has a simpler navigation process. However, the FocusRite Control software is a .dmg file which iPad Pro cannot handle? My comments were directed at the Video author and GarageBand particularly. The “guide” I have ordered is a printed step by step guide for GarageBand navigation for IOS and iPad Pro. Thank you for answering.

Do I need a Mac for the Clarett+ 2Pre or can I use it with the IPad only? (with GarageBand)

All Clarett USB and Clarett Devices are confirmed to work with USB-C iPads. You would just need a computer to initially connect the device to Focusrite Control and set the Sample rate of the device. This topic is explained in greater detail in the article below. support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360002662100-iOS-iPad-Pro-USB-C-Compatibility

hello, I recently bought the Scarlett 4i4 , and wanted to record directly the Video from my Iphone 11 without going through Garage Band and having to Export and put Video and Sound together. I bought too the Iphone USB-C cable + Lightning to ensure it works, sadly not. By the Focusrite Control App, it always said the connection failed or I should update altough it's already done. Is the 4i4 for iphone suitable ? or do you please have a Solution. Thank you !
