Multi Channel Audio Routing iOS 6

Multi Channel Audio Routig iOS 6

Multiple outputs on iPad. Multi-channel and multi-route audio is now possible with iOS 6 and up. This means that apps like Djay by Algoriddim can do independent stereo output to both the headphone jack, as well as via an HDMI or USB audio out adapter for the dock or lightning connector. That means Djs can pre-cue their music in djay on their headphone, before sending them out live over the other connection to their audience.

Musicians can now play their backing tracks on one set of stereo channels and have a click track routed to the headphone out puts for monitoring. You will have to sync the backing tracks with the click track but that is actually quite simple if you use the auto sync feature in Djay.
