Im having a hard time figuring out how to use playback from ipad through the QC.
I have a usb B - Usb C cable, and run monitors through out TRS 3/4. But i can not for the love of god get audio through… What am i doing wrong?
I´ve also tried routing through the AUM app on IOS with no luck…
Do i have to buy new cables for my monitors and use out 1/2?
how are you routing the audio INPUT on the QC? Where is the signal from the iPad entering the grid? Have you changed the Input block to the corresponding USB input channel?
Ive tried using a path from usb input 5/6 and routing ipad trough output 3/4 where my monitors are connected through the AUM app
Or, do i need an actual inputblock on the grid?
I haven’t used it with an iPad, but I’d assume you need to set an Input Block just like you would with an instrument.
Not sure which one, it should probably match whatever USB output channels the pad sends audio from. You can try toggling thru the USB channel options on the Input block of the grid and see which one works.
You should literally be able to plug an iphone, ipad or anything core compliant and run audio sourced from the device to QC via USB audio. I do this for backing tracks and related and it usually just works by default. Do you hear audio when using headphones? If not, I would start there as the rest is just routing on the QC. Use the pull-down I/O screen to ensure you are seeing signal coming to the QC via USB audio etc.
What outputs are you using for monitoring? 1/2 or 3/4? I have a feeling that the qc cant route my audio through output 3/4… i may have to try with xlr output 1/2… i have a visual signal on the dropdown menu, so sound is going into the QC, just not out
You can use whichever output you want. I used to use OUT3/4 then migrated to using OUT1/2 and use 3/4 for other monitoring.
So what you are saying is that it should automatically play from ipad through QC to speakers without routing anything.
Im normally using spotify for rehearsal, and the idea is to just play my bands songs from there and jam over it with my preset. As far as i can read from the manual, this should not be a problem and there should not be a need for a input block on the grid or anything? My presets normally usese multi out.
Or am i thinking wrong, and i need to add a path or inputblock on the grid from USB in and out 3/4?
I have visual confirmation that USB in receives signal from the ipad, but im not getting sound out from the ipad.
Maybe i have to try to use garageband and define what output i want the sound from if that is an option in garageband?
Check your USB settings on the QC, you may need to adjust according to your setup. Try toggling through each routing option and see which works best for you. Unless you are playing with a backing track and or recording etc, preset routing wouldn’t matter in that case if you are just listening to audio via the QC. Worse case, email support@neuraldsp.com and they can walk you through what needs to change,
Hey. I have just raised this exact question!. Did you resolve it?
I have inputs into the QC (input meter on USB is showing a signal) but I get no sound from my FRFR speaker .
Thanks.
iPad works fine, try using the headphone out, when using an usb connection. That’s the easiest way.
Or the XLR outs. 3 and 4 give me just the guitar.
I found that the QC must be routing all pass through-sound through output 1&2 (xlr).
When practising i found that the easiest thing was running my speakers/PA, QC and ipad/phone through a cheap, small mixer. This way i can adjust everything through the mixer also 
This works perfectly when playing live also for in-ears or monitor mix, playing sets from a daw, midi etc… so a small mixer is worth its weight in gold if you ask me 
Hey. Thanks for the response. I think I am missing something. I thought I could connect ipad to QC with USB C to B lead. Then hit play on the iPad and the sound would come out of my Mono output 1 (my guitar output) into my FRFR speaker.
I am not after a separate lead out to a mixing desk or FoH. I want the music to come out of my guoitar FRFR speaker.
I know the ipad output is hitting the QC as I can see the input meter for the USB.
Do I meed to create a path on the QC…? If so. What input and what output?
Is your Frfr speaker connected throug ouput 1&2 or 3/4? Output 1 or 2 should (according to the manual) do the trick?
Hey. Thanks for replying. Output 1 (Mono).
Everything I see suggests it should just play,but it isn’t!
If I pull up the IO screen I can see USB input and the meter moving as the music plays, but all of the outputs are empty. No way to select an output on that screen.
Basics…should I need a separate path for this music?
To be honest im not sure, when googling some says it just works. Others dont.
If you have a open line on the grid you could try running usb 5 in/out like the manual suggests, but i have not tried this from my ipad
It works just fine for me. Maybe the out 1 is muted? Do you hear your guitar through the Frfr speaker. If it helps, I can make a video with all the settings.
I record often with my iPad Pro and the qc, because I love the reduced options of logic for Ipad. On my Mac I‘m always tempted to use some crazy effects or overdo it.
Hey. That would be awesome - thank you.
Output is set to “All outputs”, and I can hear my guitar signal perfectly.
It must be something simple that I have not grasped!
This is now resolved.
So if using an ipad for playback then there is no control over where it goes. By default the QC will output only to the XLR outs 1 and 2.
I bought an XLR cable and changed my Outputs from 3 to 1. I could then hear the iPad playback.
Knew it had to be something simple!
(Oddly, ipad volume controls had no affect on playback volume - could only alter playback volume in the IO control panel by changing the USB input values. Can live with that)
Thanks everyone for your help, and neural support. Cheers
