Hey, this question is primarily for a Windows DAW. I've been trying to figure out how this could work, could you tell why the following wouldn't work?
1. Lightning to 3.5" and USB connector

2. 1/8" to dual 1/4" (to audio interface)

3. USB to 5-pin MIDI (to audio interface)

I think it is often via wifi. TouchOSC has a separate windows/mac installer for a program on the desktop. I guess that talks to the app via wifi for midi transfer to your daw.

They could be part of a solution depending on what you're trying to do.
#1 is a knockoff of the Apple Camera Connection Kit (commonly referred to as CCK). It might work just fine, but there are a lot of horror stories about using knockoffs. Here's an official Apple CCK - https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Lightning- ... B01F7KJDIM
You can use it to connect a class compliant USB audio interface (class complaint = no drivers required).
The problem with #2 is a headphone jack is not a line level output.
With #3, you would need some kind of software solution for iOS to route the MIDI.
For MIDI, you can use a standard Lightning to USB cable with an app like midimux - https://apps.apple.com/app/id963133945. As mentioned above, there's also MIDI over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, but latency and setup can be headache.
The easiest and least expensive solution is to record your audio/MIDI on your iPhone and transfer the files to your PC.

> a headphone jack is not a line level output.
True in theory; in practice it's close enough. You can record the audio coming out of a headphone jack, the voltage is similar to regular line. Be careful though: do watch the volume.
The reverse won't work: a line level output does not have sufficient power to drive headphones.

We are the KVR collective. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
