I reported 2 times like iPad report bug and one time like ios11 tester but ..... Silence... Anybody knows an official and pubblic way to report this bug....

So at this moment I suggest don't buy iPad for semipro and pro audio production without a external sound card.

If you need portable set to use with headphone... Forget it don't work.

I bought iPad tree months later and I can't use it like tablet but only like desktop station .... So I think why I pad and no a cheaper Pc?

Sorry if I rude but I pay for Apple support(zero) .... Quality product(low) ... I understand probably it is a minor big but who are here buy iPad for music....

Someone help us... Tnx

Cognizant Apple team employees read ALL feedback from all of the various feedback form areas, but they do NOT ever reply/respond any individual feedback sent.

If this is a 10.5 inch iPad Pro issue, do you know of any 2nd gen 12.9 inch iPad Pro users having any issues?

If you can find that out, maybe sell you're 10.5 inch iPad and get a 12.9 inch screen version, instead!

If both models are having these audio latency issues, then it STILL could be a hardware or software issue, or both.

I'm just a user, like you.

I don't have all the answers.

Whaddya think about MY opinion?

To bring you up to speed, this is an issue with both second generation iPad Pro, the 10.5 and the 12.9.

Many have reported it, both here and on the Audiobus forum, and to Apple Feedback, but some have claimed not to be affected.

In the last couple of days a possible explanation for this has emerged. Audio apps appear to have the latency issue IF they have been given microphone access (the microphone is ON). If microphone access has been denied (the microphone is OFF) then early reports indicate that the latency does not develop. This needs further testing.

There has been speculation that this might be the same as the widely reported crackling bug with the iPhone 8 but rumours are that this has been fixed in 11.1 on the iPhone 8 but WillOz says that it is not fixed on the iPad Pro II.

[Apple obviously listens to the complaints of iPhone 8 users but it appears that the musician community may be (relatively) too small to worry them at the moment.]

Thanks a lot for the information Inikj, After reading your post I did a clean Install of iOS 11.0.1 then I reinstalled some of my music apps such as cubasis, Thor, a few Korg synths, and the gadget app too. I carefully denied the microphone access they asked for. Unfortunately this has changed nothing for me, I got the same terrible latency five minutes after I launched the apps, and the same distortion/glitches when I've tried to use inter app audio.

If Anybody has some news about this problem, please keep posting on this thread.

Thanks

I consistently get the latency and digital noise problem. iPad Pro 10.5 (purchased online in Canada on release day) and currently iOS 11.0.1. I had been waiting until the upgrade to iOS 11 before making the decision to return my new iPad. I purchased the iPad Pro solely for music production and have invested heavily in iOS music apps for my new iPad. My understanding is that the iPad Pro is for creative production so I am extremely disappointed that we have had no feedback from Apple yet regarding this issue.

Apple - if you need assistance in troubleshooting this or finding out more, please engage with the musicians and producers on the Audiobus forum who have been reporting this from the start. The thread is here: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/20114/new-ipad-pro-12-9-2017-problem-with-lat ency-and-digital-noise/p1

I tried to record the noise using the iOS 11 built in screen recording but interestingly it recorded the synth app audio but not the digital noise. However, this video by KlaatuNinja did capture it GarageBand Chilled Jam - Audio glitch at 10.09 watch your ears!! - YouTube

It is probably worth noting that this has been reported just playing an MP3 using iTunes as well. If that can be reproduced then it means just Apple app > Apple OS > Apple hardware in the chain. No third parties. I have not tested this however as I do not use iTunes for MP3 playback.

i can report the same problems on ipad pro 10.5 512gb, use of headphones in the ipad socket creates latency and hideous noise after a few minutes in any app that uses AU or iAA plug ins. have had it in Audioshare with just a file looping and one plug in, cubasis with just two au's in action etc etc. it doesn't seem to happen in self enclosed all-in-one apps like caustic or korg gadget... AND it doesn't seem to happen if i use my Guitarjack2 audio interface with lightning adapter and plug the headphones in there.. there is ABSOLUTELY a very widely reported problem with the new ipad pro's and any use of audio plug ins combined with monitoring via the on board headphones. We need confirmation that Apple have managed to grasp this fault and indication that it can be solved via firmware or software update. otherwise, like the other hundreds and hundreds ( thousands probably ) of people who have purchased these expensive items for portable music production, we will have to return them and wait for apple to produce a fault free model.

I have non of these issues at all on the previous 9.7inch ipad pro from a year and a half ago.

Apple, it's really your call on this.

I have massive issues with latency too. Matey who said he has had no issues isn’t helping our cause at all. 10.5 iPad Pro bought the other day specifically for music has been a total waste of time. SORT IT OUT APPLE 😡😡😡

You’re not addressing anybody from Apple here in these communities.

Other than Apple Support Community moderators who are Apple staffers, we are all users here, just like you.

If you JUST purchased this iPad and it's having issues and you are not happy with your new iPad purchase,

return it for a full refund and wait for all of the iOS 11 issues to get ironed out!

Apple has a 14 day return policy.

Good Luck to You!

Hi. Apple doesn't follow these user forums. You need to report it to Apple at this link: Feedback - iPad - Apple.

Just a reminder ... can anybody reporting a problem also report it as a bug (here: Feedback - iPad - Apple).

Thanks.

Hi Will0z. Are you using old-style wired headphones with the 3.5 mm plug?
