Live-Recording with iPad?

[severe]

Perhaps anyone can help me. I’m not a professional in recording… I’m working with a QU32 console. Is it possible to record up to 24 tracks (live concert) with my iPad? E.g. using Cubasis? And: can I connect my iPad directly with the QU32 – or do I need more Hardware?

You need an Apple Camera Kit and to connect it to the mixer’s USB B port. And one of the DAW apps of course.

Thank you for your quick response! Do you have a favourite DAW for iPad (not too expensive…)? Is there a version that can either work with 32 tracks?

Not personally, I always turn to a laptop/desktop for DAW stuff, or make do with the 18 channels of the Qu-drive for “unexpected” recording requests.

I can’t find the actual announcement now, but it said:

We have recently completed a series of tests with the Qu USB interface, recording to / playing from iOS devices via the Apple ‘Lightning to USB Camera adapter’, and we are pleased to confirm that the latest generation of iPad Air and iPad Mini can successfully record and stream up to 32 tracks!

You can now use Qu mixers with a number of DAW apps including Auria, Steinberg Cubasis, GarageBand, FL Studio HD and Presonus Capture.”

Thank you – I will try it 😉 !

Make sure you get the camera kit with the ability to charge the ipad at the same time.
Or your iPad battery will drain.
I bought and tried the Auria App.
Good luck.
