Your question:
I want to use my existing MP3 collection to DJ and unfortunately I don’t have enough memory to store all of it in my ipad. I try to use USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter to connect the ipad to Reloop Mixon 8 Pro so that I can use Reloop Mixon 8 Pro and play the tracks from my external drive. but when I plug in Reloop Mixon 8 Pro to C type adapter it does not read the Reloop Mixon 8 Pro. Any recommended adapter which can support the above or it is not possible to achieve what I’m looking to do.
TIA

I use https://amzn.eu/d/071PCGPa with my rev 5, which means I can charge my iPad and also add additional usb stick or external drive if I need too. This adapter has a pass through which means it can be plugged into mains. Really good, I recommend.

Hi @DJHarshana1978, I use the UGREEN Revodok 7 in 1 USB C Hub. Make sure you select a hub that has pass through USB-C Power Delivery (PD) and connect your original genuine iPad charger and cable to the hub.
