Ensure you are using the most up-to-date version of your recording app (e.g. GarageBand) and have taken your Scarlett interface out of MSD mode. (More about MSD mode).

This article shows which products are compatible with any iPad Pro with a USB Type-C port. Please carefully read the support status and setup instructions for your specific product.

iTrack Range

• The iTrack Solo/One Pre interfaces are supported for use with the USB-C iPad Pro.
• The iTrack Dock interface is NOT supported
• To connect them, you will need the Apple USB-C to USB adaptor.

iTrack Solo:

• For this interface, you can disregard the Device Link cable and simply connect the USB B to A cable to the Apple USB-C to USB adaptor.
• The iPad Pro supplies enough power to bus power the iTrack Solo, no external power/powered USB hub is required.

iTrack One Pre:

• As there is no Lightning to USB adaptor, you will need to use a micro USB to USB A cable (not included but used with many phones/USB peripherals) and then connect this to the Apple USB-C to USB adaptor.
• The iPad Pro supplies enough power to bus power the iTrack Solo, no external power/powered USB hub is required.

iTrack Dock:

• This interface will NOT work with the iPad Pro, as it is only Lightning.
• Lightning to USB-C adaptor cables are not available from Apple, and we would advise against purchasing third-party cables as they are unlikely to work.
