iPhone usb-c aux/line

What is the best way to sample from a iphone with USB-c?

Hey

You probably need a little audio interface or something which can turn your USB data into analog audio. If your only output from the phone is USB-C, then an interface is probably going to be the only way to do it, as an OT doesn’t offer audio over USB and is not an audio interface in and of itself.

If you don’t already have an interface and you just want something small and basic (and inexpensive) you might check out the Rode AI micro, as it would be optimal for use with a phone.

Anyways, good luck.

I am interested in this one :
(XLR/1/4 Line in, 1/4 balanced line out, midi in / out, mics in with 48v, headphones out)

If you have a USB-C iPhone then just plug it into anything you like via USB-C. It should work just like a computer.

What is a computer ?
Octatrack topic ! :wink:
I think @red_tag would want an USB C to line audio interface in order to record it With Octatrack.

Cheapest would be headphones adapter.
But having line in / out allows to put iOS apps in an OT fx loop. :slight_smile:

That one should work, but a dirt cheap Behringer UCA-202 with an USB-A to C adapter would also work for about 1/10 of the money.

Sampling from and iPhone, just use a headphone adapter? If you need cheap line in get a Sabrent usb sound card, tiny and cheap

IOS, audio and midi class compliant ?

Works fine on my old iPad with the camera connection adapter so it’s class compliant. There’s no MIDI port on it, but you don’t really need MIDI for sampling.

Definitely a plus for sync, play iPhone with midi tracks > sample loops, chromatic sample chains, scales, one shots…

Definitely a plus for sync,

Could be handy for looping, but not strictly necessary for recording simple one-shots.
Audio interfaces with extra MIDI ports start around 100 euro’s, so that’s a step up.

I’m using an old Roland duo capture (the pre Rubix one). Very cheap on eBay and rock solid midi plus great audio quality.

Not only : send 64 midi notes and record 64 one shots on the fly to make a sample chain…
Or just send one midi note to record one shots without editing once you set right microtiming offset.

Midi is required for me if I choose an audio interface. Otherwise I’d use headphones out / adapter.

Required for you by preference, but certainly not the only answer to the question what hardware is required for sampling on an iPad.
You don’t recommend a Steinway grand if someone just wants to play a little piano.

Ya, but people buy cirklons for just a little sequencing just to show off…… :upside_down_face:
