How are you connecting the iPad - from the headphone socket or the Apple dock connector ?

Experience with iPods (not iPads) has shown that the best way to connect one to another audio device (e.g. a mixer) is to use a cable with the Apple dock connector at one end and two RCA phono connectors at the other end. If you connect to the headphone jack then the output will often be very low.

Indeed, purchase a lead that is described as connecting to the 'line outs' on the apple dock. You'll get a stronger 'direct out' signal.

You could, if you wish purchase an audio interface designed to give you a stronger output signal, as well as also including other 'inpit' facilities.

You may have seen my other posts related to this.

I purchased a y cable.

The idea being, to put irig in iPad , then from the
headphone out socket of irig , put y cable to
The line in sockets of my line 6 toneport. Ux1 .

I will turn output of apps up as suggested above.

Will let you know later , but if you have any other ideas please let me know.

Thanx for replies so far,)

It sounds like using the headphone socket as the output is the main issue. The headphone socket is optimised to drive headphones which have a different impedance than the inputs on most other devices so there's a slight mismatch there.

Well, I connected the irig into the headphone socket as I'm supposed to do. From the headphone socket, the y cable
was connected to the line inputs of the line 6ux1 . Still the same, after turning volume of iPad and apps to max.
However, on the monitor input of the ux1, the sound is much better , but only from 1 speaker ,unless I only put jack

I also tried the above without irig.

Wonder if it's worth asking a genius at apple?
