[QUOTE="Steve Milner, post: 23247, member: 9"] Re: Knob turning on iPad? Adam: Can you connect both it and SM to the console at the same time? If not, this would be a total non-starter for me, for anything other then personal rig use. It is pretty typical for me to show up to a walk-on type gig to find that the provider has a computer running SM & itunes etc. already attached to the console. Also, what happens if I need to load a show from my computer for some reason... do I have to drop this off the network and fire up SM from scratch? I think (for me), that it's all about being comfortable with the tools that are out in the wild... something third party that makes life easier is really cool for sure... but are you not doing yourself a disservice by becoming accustomed to some esoteric tool that may or may not even be practical to setup quickly? I personally want to be as quick and proficient with the standard set of tools as I can be, and using them constantly helps achieve that. I am just as quick with the trackball mouse that is mounted near the UDK's on my console as I am with the actual EQ knobs on the surface, I use them interchangeably, and often find myself grabbing the mouse first as it can be faster to do (batch) changes in the software. I also believe that in true "combat audio" situations...all of this goes out the window. Tablet control and anything other then mission critical tools go to the very bottom of the priority list. Like I said before, this kind of development is going to serve everyone better in years to come... Congrats on a really cool forward thinking product... there is always the possibility that a 3rd Party App could gain some real traction and become the de-facto standard going forward. I'll be excited to follow along with the updates you make! [/QUOTE]
