Hi, I have had a very frustrating time attempting to connect and record a Roland TD4-KX2 drum kit to my iPad using a USB-midi cable (MConnect) and the Apple camera connection kit, using Garageband as the recording software. I have read of other people achieving this, but it doesn't work for me.
It DID actually connect once, and recorded but this appears to have been quite random, as it won't do it again.
I open Garageband, select a new instrument (I have tried the drum kits and a simple clean guitar amp), connect the cables via the camera connection kit, but...NOTHING.
If ANYONE has any advice that would help me to achieve this, I would be eternally grateful. I only have 5 days before my return period on the iPad runs out. I bought the iPad solely to record drums (as I was led to believe that this is quite straightforward). Perhaps there is an alternative software/app that someone could recommend?
Anyone?
