Can i record from USB while listening via jack on headphones? I want to record my guitar with Garageband but to also hear what i record on headphones. So i am using a USB mixer and today have purchased a USB hub, I have connected the mixer and the headphones to the hub but i either hear the sound or i can record but not both in the same time. Is this a limitation of the ipad or of the hub? What adaptor or hub should i purchase? Thanks

USB microphone and headphones with iPad pro Hello ! I have an iPad Pro (2018) that I want to connect to my audio recording setup: a usb microphone (I use an USB-C cable) and headphones with a mini jack connector. Alone, the microphone works perfectly with my iPad, but it doesn’t allow me to connect my headphones simultaneously. I tried two adapters, the latest from Belkin https://www.belkin.com/3.5-mm-audio-charge-rockstar/P-F8J212.html The microphone works well but my iPad doesn’t recognize the microphone. What can I do to listen to the songs I’m recording?

Add External Audio to iPhone Video Recordings Is there a way to do this: I want to use my iPhone's camera to record videos at a live music event but instead of the audio coming from the room, I want to connect the output from the mixing desk to my phone so that the audio comes directly from the equipment (rather than the general sound of just being in the room) so it's best quality. Is it possible to do this? The mixing desk has stereo RCA outputs and my iPhone has the USB-C connector. I can find a splitter cable with stereo RCAs on one end and a USB-C on the other but will this actually work? I seems that this type of cable is used to take the iPhone's audio output and send it to external speakers (rather than an audio input from an external device). Any help is much appreciated!

Only if you mix them to one stereo track:

I don't think you can record multiple tracks.
