[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 137823, member: 211"] Re: Actually MIXING on a tablet/ipad There are advantages to iPad mixing, for sure. The small footprint is great. Being able to use multiple iPads to emulate a larger console is pretty sweet. However, there are a couple of major disadvantages. 1. Relying on WIFI is a dangerous situation. WIFi is easily disrupted. I had a scenario with an iPad 2. Everything was set and working great, then someone turned on some wireless headphones. Well, the headphones took out WIFI nearly completely making the iPad all but useless. Luckily, I had a newer iPad available that could use 5GHz WIFI and the show could go on. 2. The iPad does not offer tactical feedback. You need to be able to look at the iPad to know what you're doing. Yeah, once your fingers are in place, you can sort of manipulate it, but if your finger slides to the wrong spot on the pad, you could make unexpected changes. With a physical console, it's pretty easy to feel your way around and get to stuff quickly if necessary. [/QUOTE]
