XR18 to IPad to Cubasis help needed

[mikegatward]

Apologies if this is the wrong forum for the topic but here goes.

 

I’m tasked with recording band gigs after our guitarist left the band. He was successful in recording from the XR18 to his laptop so I know the routing is all set up on the XR18

 

i’ll be using an iPad Pro and I downloaded Cubasis 3 and attempted to set everything up but I can’t get Cubasis to see the XR18. I suspect it’s the cabling and I’ve used an adapter I picked up on eBay. Maybe I need something else.

 

is there someone out there who can help me ? - someone that has the same set up

 

Thanks in advance

Apple stuff is pretty good at seeing audio sources but if you’re not using an (overpriced) Apple cable then there’s a good chance it just won’t play.

Is there a separate driver you need to download from Behringer? I seem to recall a specific driver is required.

I assumed an iPad would have Core Audio already and wouldn’t need a specific driver.

You could be right. There's only Windows drivers on the website.

You shouldn't need a driver, you just have to connect to the iPad by USB and then core audio should see it. I don't know about cubasis but I assume it should see it if it is available. What sort of interface are you using?

USB to usb c, into the dodgy eBay adapter, into a lightning to usb c adapter then a lightning to usb c adapter

 

if I then power the dodgy eBay adapter with a lightning charger, the iPad seems to recognise it but it’s doesn’t charge it.

 

i suspect the cable set up is wrong so a link to what I need to buy would be massively appreciated 😊

I had the same issue with my Studiologic SL88 GT MK2 MIDI controller keyboard connected to an iPad, it only worked with the official Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter...

There is the same adapter for Lightning should you need this version.

Thanks for this - I can see they also sell on eBay for £20 to £25

If it's a real Apple product, go on, otherwise buy the real deal or you'll lose your money. 😉
