lavaspin Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I'm trying to do something pretty simple: take video with ihpone, with the audio coming from Helix via the USB port, connected through an iphone camera connector adaptor. I thought I had this working a couple weeks ago. But now, there's no audio coming through when I try to record video. I was wondering if maybe there's a hidden volume function or virtual port that got turned off in the iphone. I have the output on the Helix set for multi. It might have got turned off on my iphone when I set up a line in for guitar and a separate line in for the aux. in. But both are set to multi, so I don't know why that would have caused a virtual port to shut off in iphone. Also, I do get audio to record in Garageband using USB. So, it has something to do with the ihpone video function. Thanks for any suggestions! I made a good faith effort to look for this on the site before starting this topic. Didn't see this particular issue. If I missed it, I apologize. I think it's actually an iphone issue but somebody might have figured it out here on the Helix forum.

HonestOpinion Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Maybe the link below might help. Looks like you have to start the iPhone camera app first and select video, and only then plug in your camera kit USB. Hmm, sounds klunky. Apparently there are some paid apps like FiLMic Pro that give you more control over audio options but I have not tried it so I have no idea if that would help. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/229346/how-do-i-record-video-on-ios-with-external-audio-interface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavaspin Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Ha! Opening camera app first before plugging in USB did the trick! I searched like crazy on the internet for that advice. However you found it, I really appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l_sap120394 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 @lavaspin Man, can you show me what kind of adapter is it? I would apreciate it! Tks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically it would be something like the device in the link below that uses the Lightning port on an iPhone or iPad to provide a USB port from the adaptor. The name "camera" kit/adaptor is a bit of a misnomer as the adaptor has multiple possible uses. https://www.amazon.com/Apple-MK0W2AM-Lightning-Camera-Adapter/dp/B01F7KJDIM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1528911365&sr=8-3&keywords=apple+camera+connection+kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just wondering if I will have problem using for example, a Behringer Uphoria UM2 as the sound card.... I mean, if I'll have problems with driver or anything related to compatibility.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a way to make it work but the UM2 does not seem to be one of the easiest cards to use with the iPhone/iPad. People have definitely gotten it working with their Macs and the link below claims to have gotten it working with Cubasis LE on an iPad. Maybe someone else on the forum has implemented it successfully and can shed more light on the subject. https://www.engadget.com/2017/03/10/the-best-usb-audio-interface/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
