Ipad Interface / Mixer / Midi 2022?

Hey guys,
I m struggling to find the best way to record into Ipad’s Aum.
What I am looking for?

  • Audio over usb (audio interface) to use with laptop / ipad
  • 5-6 audio inputs
  • Multitrack recording
  • midi in/out
  • Being able to record loops (to sample my modular)
  • Something not huge

The best match for me is 1010 Bluebox BUT its not an audio interface which is pitty.
TX-6 tick all boxes apart not having regular midi out.
Tascam Model 12 looks like a great option but it’s too big for my setup…

I was thinking to buy blackbox + small passive mixer to put all inputs and then output of blackbox to external audio of Syntakt and use Overbridge but then i would need to jump on mute / unmute all the time.

Kmi Kmix ?

Not huge - rules out the Zoom or Tascam style digital mixers.

5-6 inputs - this leaves a standard audio interface. Search on sweetwater or other music site that allows you to filter by number of inputs and within your price range. You’ll get a few choices.

Something like the Clarett 4Pre meets the needs.

If you have a bit more cash something like the Audiofuse Studio works well too.

I’ve not personally tried it, but after a fair bit of research I was looking at the Steinberg UR44C to pair with my 11 inch ipad pro. Was planning to sit the ipad on top as it has a really similar footprint to that ipad.

As I said, never actually tried it in the end (I have other interfaces and just rarely feel like recording straight into ipad) but pretty sure it ticks all the iOS compatibility boxes.

+1 for K-Mix

obviously it’s the Kmix. It’s a great Interface for the IPad and AUM.
