I know that this request won’t serve the entire community, but I am curious if there are other parties who would benefit from a GLD remote app that resembles the desktop editor GUI. Periodically, I find that I want to dive deeper into the menus while working on stage. With the current GLD remote, the GUI is user friendly (mostly) and accomplishes 80% of what I need. However, in some situations, I could really benefit from having access to more features on the iPad.
I have found myself in venues where the trip between FOH and the stage (especially when working with theater) is substantial. I have to prioritize and schedule trips based on the tasks I know I can accomplish with features on the iPad. If I need to relabel channel strips, re-assign i/o, change scene settings, etc., I have to make those changes when I return to FOH. It’s definitely not a deal breaker…but when you are working onstage with the iPad, it can be enticing to think about the potential convenience.
I have considered setting up my laptop with the editor running and then screen-sharing with our iPad. I haven’t tried this yet, so maybe someone with experience can evaluate how effective this actually is in the field. If I’m missing a step here or overlooked app features, let me know.
