Great advice for us Samsung Android users. Had the iRig2 and started live streaming my dj sets on twitch. Wasn't satisfied with the audio so purchased irigstream. Connected everything and went live. Audio was much better for 20 seconds until it pitched down and slowed down the remaining 2 hours of my set. Restarted phone afterwards and now my phone won't work with irigstream at all. About to send it back and try alternative methods.

@mattythechefdc 4 месяца назад

Sorry to hear that. Its not so much the iRig but the software and bandwidth of the streaming platforms. For all that it's worth, try buying a super cheap used iPhone just for streaming and try it. The developers for these platforms seem to favor iPhones over Android but I feel like that should change soon seeing as how Apple stock has dropped for the first time is a years. No innovation

@SexyWellness 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for this info, altho I have iOS and just bought roland go mixer pro then I read about the better sound of iRig and thinking of buying it instead for that reason - I'm wondering if your sound issues with IGram TTok etc come from the 24 bit high res sound quality, and the platform not able to handle the high res? just a thought

@mattythechefdc 6 месяцев назад

@sexywellness My pleasure. How are you liking the Roland mixer pro so far? That is a great point about the 24-bit high-res. I'd have to look into that because I'm like, "Where in the chain would I be able to down grade the resolution? I was thinking about getting an older iPhone just to use it for Tiktok. IG seamed OK with android phones (I have the Galaxy S22 currently and a Note 9 before that) except for if I typed so words during a current stream.

No Problem. I gotchu. Check out 10:50 timestamp on the video if you haven't already. It should explain the answer to the question you needed. PS, iPhones seems to be better integrated with the apps but as of late the apps, especially TikTok, may have updated their system. Just a heads up.

Np @yodi84. The iRig Stream spreci doesn't need batteries but the iRig Stream Pro does take 2 AA batteries. That is a plus for the iRig Stream unless you need iRig Stream Pro's mix input. If you have an interface you don't need the Pro, imo. You've got this! I want to share what issues I ran into so you don't. The links in the description have all the tools mentioned in to video if you needed them.

The answer is yes, How are you planning to record, via your phone ro computer? Iphones can use the Photos feature. I have an android so I use a the free program Android Transfer File. Or you could just save the vids to your google drive on the phone, open up google drive on the computer and upload them to your computer that way. Does that help?

@dreameastllc3250 9 месяцев назад

Great Video! I got the iRig stream and I need to create Instagram Reels in Stereo via the Instagram app on an iPhone but after trying many times with different cords etc. I am only getting a mono signal recorded to the reel with the iRig Stream. The same this happens when doing a remix on instagram in the app, recorded in mono. Are you or anybody else have the same problem.

@djbrainson 9 месяцев назад

That's Instagram fault. It only supports mono at this time

@DJMonee727 9 месяцев назад

IG only does mono. Period.

@mattythechefdc 7 месяцев назад

My pleasure @dreameastllc3250. I've had mono issues. But also make sure you have the stereo TRS 1/8in cable and if you need an adapter, for the interface jack as I mentioned, make sure that is TRS too. Many times just one of those connections can be the problem or it's just the apps fault. Have you been getting great use for the iRig Stream so far?

@MiaHessMusic 8 месяцев назад

I'm tinking about gietting this to run off my Yamaha 10 channel mixer while I"m gigging and then I'll bring the footage into editing software. Do you think this would be helpful?? I'm not going to do Instagram or TikTok. NOt my thing. Just YT. Also, and this is way outside the box.....if I want to run the audio to a DSLR camera, do you think that's possible???

@mattythechefdc 7 месяцев назад

Hey Mia. Great question. You definitely can run it through your Mixers probably sin RCA ports on the mixer or TRS ports. Just set up your phone, test it all first and i would recommend using your native phone camera or Open Camera app. As far as the DSLR idea, I dont know how youd be able to route audio to the camera with the iRig ports given. The iRig has a lighting, USB-C and USB-A port.

@mattythechefdc 7 месяцев назад

So basically to get sound from your mixer to to your DSLR, just router a balanced signal from the mix to your camera's Mic/Audio input. Use a Splite TRS 1/4in jacks to single TRS 1/8in to your camera. Watch out for the Levels going from the mixer to the camera. I found a video for you explaining the process. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SzdE1NmLihQ.htmlsi=43BhV9vhChowjeTi

@wearitbaseball 10 месяцев назад

what do I need if I want to come out of my computer after mixing my keyboard and microphone in Logic.....then getting that mix into my phone for videos?

@mattythechefdc 7 месяцев назад

The iRig Stream should be able to to that, friend. In The video I tell you about the dual RCA inputs to single stereo 1/8in TRS cable (often called aux input). Plug the Left and Right RCA into the iRig and the 1/8in side into your computer aux port or into a headphone jack on an interface. All the pieces you need are in the description.

@AP530 9 месяцев назад

I just bought Irig Stream and I have Android Galaxy a03s. I can't get it to work with the cables in the box. DO I need to buy the $30 special cable for Android from ik multimedia or this particular phone isn't even compatible with irig stream? I also have a windows laptop so I might just stream on Instagram thru that or just go buy refurbished iPhone 7 for ig livestreams using irig stream. I'm not sure what to do any opinions or thoughts from your end on this? Thanks

@yawrocartofsound 7 месяцев назад

Your probably already sorted now but yeah stuff the special cable cut to the chase and buy that I-phone that's my advice to anyone. :)

@mattythechefdc 7 месяцев назад

First off I glad you are getting active with your audio and visual content to congrats. Secondly, iRig has known not to play nice with Android phones. If you have the resources, grab the iPhone and use it with iRig. For some reason, most apps test put bugs on iPhones before Androids (i'm and android user, btw ; ) ). What exactly is happening when you try to Stream with the iRig? Which cables are you using?

@sevenonemusic1369 8 месяцев назад

I'm trying to live stream on an app where viewers can talk back to me. Can I hear audio coming out of the phone and my mixer together thru the headphone jack on the irig?

@mattythechefdc 7 месяцев назад

Hey @sevenonemusic, I'm not totally clear as to the question, but hopefully this gives some insight: So the sounds come out from your audio source (mixer or interface or whatever you'd like to plug into the RCA inputs on the iRig) then goes to your phone. The headphone input allows you to hear whats coming out of you audio source without lag. To be fair, some phones and app don't play nice with the iRig stream so be aware. Also, did you see the part I added about Live streaming in this video?

@sevenonemusic1369 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, the tricky part is the app I live stream on, viewers can join and actually talk to me. I was wondering if this setup would allow me to hear my viewers and my mix together

Try clearing your apps cache then when you go live, go live then plug in the USB-C. Beware of typing/responding to comments after the iRig is plugged in as this has caused issues for me once i've gotten the iRig to work streaming live. It is a problem with apps, not really the phone imo. If you can find a little iPhone to record on, that is also a great option. iPhones, to me, are over hyped but highly used so apps work out bugs on them first.
