I would like to play audio to Scaler through the iPad microphone. The microphone is activated for Scaler, he is waiting for input… but he doesn’t record anything.

Hi and welcome @NadeHarry Can you look through this thread firstly?

> Using scaler 2 on iPad Pro. I want to record acoustic guitar directly into scaler through the iPad microphone as demonstrated on one of the tutorials on YouTube. When I press the record button on scaler the “waiting for input” message just sits there - so scaler is not picking up anything from the iPad microphone - what am I doing wrong?

If that doesn’t which instance of Scaler are you using? Is it an instrument within Logic iPad? Audio FX?
