I am looking for an affordable, and fast solution to record from the rm32ai.

We are using an rm32ai on stage and then controlling audio with a lenovo touchscreen. I know that one option is just to record with a firewire cable into a computer on stage, but I don't have a computer sitting around to use. I do have a couple iPads sitting around though. I'm wondering if I could use something like this: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail ... 7GEALw_wcB

And just recording straight to garage band or capture on the iPad. Anyone tried this?

There is "Capture for iPad" (http://www.presonus.com/products/Capture-for-iPad), which is available in two versions (two tracks and 32 tracks). But you will need an appropriate interface for recording. It says "Capture for iPad works with any iPad-compatible audio interface". PreSonus offers several audio interfaces, just due to its construction a RM rack mixer can NOT be an audio interface for an iPad. The RM mixers use FireWire for recording.

Another approach is to use a so-called "Docking Station" like Alesis iO Dock I or II, Behringer iStudio IS202 or Focusrite iTrack Dock. Simply send 2 audio signals from your RM (main, aux, solo...) to the dock's inputs, the docking station will then feed the iPad with audio. There are several programs available for recording. Garage Band is one of them.

Another "fast" way to record a stereo signal is to use the S/PDIF output located on the option card. You can route any bus of the RM mixer to this output. Of course you will need a recorder with a S/PDIF input...

Or simply get a mobile 2 track digital recorder... ;-)

Or you could buy a Dante card and connect your RM directly to your Lenovo** and record all 32 tracks direct to Studio1, and insert your favourite plugins live into the RM channels as a free bonus...


** I'm assuming your Lenovo has ethernet connection and not WiFi only.
