MacShock Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hi, I've read in this forum that it is possible to connect the iPhone to the Helix via camera adapter using the USB in in the back of the helix in order to stream audio. So, here I am. Everything connected but the music comes out of the loudspeaker of the iPhone and not my headphone (connected to the Helix). What do I have do? Thanks for your input and help.

PierM Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 As soon as you connect your iPhone/iPad with the Camera adapter, you should be already good to go, since the USB1/2 are passing through the Helix signal, no matter your path settings. Just be sure your iOs device streaming icon is showing the Helix connection (look at the picture, on the bottom/right side). At this point you can also route the iPhone to all the USB channels 1/2 - 3/4 - 5/6 - 7/8, if you have a bus app like AUM or AudioBus 2. If you use those channels, from 3 to 8, you need to set those inputs in the Helix patch, as you do with any other input source. But again, USB 1/2 are working out of the box just linking the device through USB. Be aware that your only way to control the volume coming from your iOS device it's in the global settings, first page (USB 1/2 Trim), so just take care of your ears. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 For anyone else getting a CCK, I recommend the Apple USB 3 model https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0W2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-3-camera-adapter because it allows you to keep your iThing charged while you are using it. If you ever use your iThing at a gig, you can go for hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacShock Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Cool. Thank you. I will try this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Hey Markus!, Yes it should just work - I use my iPhone with Helix and it works great. Make sure you buy an official Apple USB-Lightning adaptor and not a cheap copy... the copies do not reliably work.. or perhaps not at all if you are unlucky. I second soundog that you should buy the new CCK3 that charges the iPhone too... I have an older CCK and it is really annoying when you run out of battery :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryaneaves Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 In a pinch the other day I inserted my earbuds from the iPhone and then put my studio headphones from the Helix on top. I was surprised at how well that worked and sounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexiDime Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 is there any possibility to do multitrack recording simultaneous on an iPad? I would really love to connect 2 guitars, a bass and vocals to the helix and record it without a lab-top but with my iPad pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
