Unable to do 16 track recording on iPhone
Posted: April 14th, 5:14 am
Hey there! Been enjoying using Multitrack DAW on my M1 iPad Pro as a remote recording device I can plug into my band's rehearsal room setup and bring the files home to mix in Logic.
However, I got a USB->Lightning camera kit and tried using my iPhone 13 Mini yesterday to do the same thing. I was able to recognize the interface, load up 16 channels and arm them — but when I tried to actually record, the playhead did not move and no audio was recorded.
Setup is a 1st gen Scarlett 18i8 with a 2nd gen 18i20 connected via ADAT. I get all 16 channels working fine on Macs and iPads, but couldn't get it to record on the iPhone.
Is 16 channels just beyond what the device can handle?
