[QUOTE="Rick Stansby, post: 18565, member: 312"] Re: iLive Owners/Users - full fledged iPad app is out The simple fact is Allen and Heath and Presonus released their iPad apps on almost exactly the same day. There are threads about each app on this forum. The studiolive thread is mostly about the actual app, and the functions it does and doesn't have. This thread is mostly about the cost of the app. There is no demo version, so we can't really ascertain the functional qualities of the iLive app. The only subject to discuss is the price. Based on the limitations of the Studiolive hardware (no flying faders, no recallable headamps) I believe the iLive app will be much better. However I don't know yet, because I can't talk to someone who has used the app. Am I the only person who downloads control software for a device before I touch the real hardware. What if a BE is traveling with just an iPad? He may want to peruse the features of your iLive in advance. The Tweak app doesn't show many of the features of the mixer so it is useless for this purpose. Also when people talk about lost sales of surfaces, I have to ask how much this $99 is going to offset the cost of $8,000-$15,000 surfaces. Finally if I owned an iLive, I would not hesitate to spend $99 on this app. I would like a demo first though. I didn't buy a tablet until I had actually used the studio manager software. So I'm going to change my original statement and say that control software should have some sort of demo available. This goes back to the days of the third party controllers for the original 01V and 02R (I can't even remember the names anymore virtualizer and some french program for the Mac.) These companies made 100% of their profit from sales of the software. They still offered demo versions so that people could ''try before they buy.'' [/QUOTE]
