That’s my biggest concern too – I’d be worried about them accidentally tapping out of their assigned mix (in the heat of playing and not concentrating on their control surface) and suddenly making exaggerated moves – not to mention that without having some way to kick them off the network you basically couldn’t do anything about it except yell at them over the talkback

Dante card (soon!)Just keep a tight reign on your guys. If the problem persists with one particular musician, threaten “NO MORE iPAD”
. This is working for me on a weekly basis. I’ve got 7 people on the MixPad app at one time. We have had our “OPPS” but not during a show, only at rehearsal. Just make sure that there custom layer is setup, and that they double tap their mix. If the channels aren’t highlighted blue, dont touch! I would agree that an app that’s focused on AUX mixing would be nice, but lets be real. All the R&D time on this app, plus the overhead, plus the still limited number of iLive users on the planet, it’s not worth AH time or money to create such an app. I think if they try to corner the Personal Mix Market, maybe. But that would probably associated with the iPad allowing not only for control, but for audio to pass through the headphone jack on the ipad. Thus allowing the ipad to be the “self-contained” personal mixer. [

Entertainment Arts Inc.In the other thread they asked for an API made public. That’s almost zero R&D for A&H.
The only thing people actually ask is for a security setting that would allow a login account only to access a particular mix. No major overhaul of the MixPad app, just have the system work with a particular mix button locked for that user account, and show the account used somewhere on the MixPad screen for troubleshooting.
Then create an account for each of your auxes, and the only moment when you have to “reign” you musicians is when they log-in (they have to choose the right account, that is if you don’t login for them), if they don’t, then threaten with installing passwords
Not all musicians like to be “reigned” by the PA guy, by the way…

Coming back to a point raised earlier: what should the Multicast address be in Editor?
I ran a show on the weekend with a touring engineer – both of us using iPads (me with MixPad & him with Tweak), and Editor running at FOH – and after 5 hours of no issues through soundcheck and pre-show I lost metering in Editor (although not in MixPad). It wasn’t a big problem for the engineer in question, but it was a high profile client and I don’t like that it happened at all
This was the first gig for the new Belkin router, I thought I had it all sorted and certainly didn’t have any other problems, but maybe I’ve got something set wrong with Multicast (as asked earlier: should the multicast address be within my DHCP address range?).iDR32 mixrack
