«  Not so with iPad .. »

This is the first time I leave a notice because usually I buy good quality gear and I'm never surprised.

I bought this as an alternative interface for audio and MIDI ipad after trying different camera connection kit (Apple and other brands) coupled to small soundcard and MIDI interface. It never worked because all the camera connection kit are not designed to support all USB devices. I want to clarify that the official Apple does not.

All in all I tried three different small USB adapter ...

Finding made I decided to invest more in my way to an interface that can be plugged directly into the doc ipad.
After I realized that being the IO dock was not really an audio interface I discovered this little tascam. I say cool to less than 100 € on Thomann for € 160 in France is great. I must say that the product I bought was a stock-B in perfect condition sold by Thomann after test.

The interface on this is plastic but it is not what interests me. Until the connection is there!

The problem is that the interface is logged out alone and it is sometimes impossible to reconnect for several minutes! This problem might be due to a defect of this particular interface.

The really stuck where it is that when the card still connected to the ipad, and it could last for hours, the sound began to crack. As when the buffer size is too low on a computer with a sound card low end. Once IU2 creaked, the only way was to disconnect the ipad and restart.

Short gear unusable returned after a few days ...

Now I use a USB hub card reader for iPad powered USB hub. So you can really connect any USB is class compliant gear.

Good idea but not so! (At least that I had really had a particular problem, but I do not think so)
