Hi,

Just downloaded jump desktop but I’m having a few issues with set up and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I can get it to work with my home internet set up but when I try to use it with my iLive set up I just can’t get it connect.

My set up is an iDR-32 on the default IP address.
I have a perminatly connected Dell laptop which is hard wired to the iDR and has IP address 192.168.1.10
The Netgear router is also plugged directly into the iDR with IP address 192.168.1.254 with DHCP set to 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200
Any device I want to connect i.e. 2nd laptop and iPad2 connects to the iDR via the router with no issues.

I’m trying to get jump desktop to connect to my hard wired laptop 192.168.1.10 but I just can’t get it to connect. I don’t think it has anything to do with IP address conflicts as I can connect using splash top without any problems but splash top is not suitable when swapping to and from MixPad and hence would like to get jump desktop working.

It seems having to have a Gmail account maybe causing an issue as I can connect at home with Internet connect connection but obviously the iLive set up does not have Internet.

Any help would be much apprieciated…

Edit – Managed to get it working now, not sure what I did though!

Cheers,

Gary.

Thanks Richard & Leon, I’m liking the answers so far. The Dante idea is some thing I can try in the future but I like the speaker matrix idea and think I will have a go with this set up at home. The only downside I see to this is you can’t keep panning in a circle continuously, it would only go from for example from rear left through front left then front right and then to rear right and back again unless I’m missing something?

Cheers,

Gary.

Oh dear… worms in a can, can opener at the ready!

I’m no computer expert but I would have thought that like any computer system the less you have runing the faster and smoother it appears to run. Just look at how anti-virus software can affect your computers speed. I’m sure the iLive is designed to run all availible buses without a hickup and my computer is overspec’d for anti-virus software requirements but they both seem to run smoother with less going on???

Thankyou for the answer Sam.

Most of the gigs I engineer for are bands with the same setup every time so the emergency / spare buses is not to much of an issue but I agree with you Richard that having some spares at festival / battle of the bands / unfamiliar band type gigs is a must…

Cheers,

Gary.

FWIW…Jump Desktop goes directly to background when you switch to another app such as MixPad. I can jump between them as fast as I can exit one and get the next tapped. Switching to another computer is two taps to disconnect and one to connect to next computer. It takes 2 to 3 seconds to open the connection.

Really? Sounds great… Might have to give it a try. I wish some of these more costly apps were available in a full trial version and expire after a 12 hours or the like. I’m sure they’d sell more in the long term.

I was wondering the same, I remember updating iTunes about 3 years ago and not being able to get it to work for about 2 months…. Something to do with bonjour in the end but very frustrating so I think I will leave the ipad2 on the current version for a bit!

Cheers,

Gary.

I’ve got splashtop on my ipad2 and like Adam says you have to have the program on the PC you want to control which is no problem really. It is a great app but with one flaw in my opinion which is if you have MixPad and splashtop both running, when you switch between the two MixPad displays as the screen you left it as which is nice (no reconnecting) whereas splashtop reverts back to the ‘choose the device you want to connect to screen’ which is annoying when you want to just flip between the two for either mixing of tapping tempo and scenes etc…

Been thinking about buying another iPad and making a case that holds them back to back, MixPad running on one and MixPad and splashtop both running on the other, just flip it over depending on what you need!

Really hope the splashtop developers will sort out the ‘flaw’ soon…

Cheers,

Gary.

Another MixPad request, I wish the mute button was excluded from being coloured when a channel is selected, occasionally at a glance I sometimes I think the channel is muted when it is not (probably doesn’t help me being red/green colour blind!).

With reference to Graham’s post the connection status suggestion is a great one, the other day this happened to me with a dropped connection and not realising it until nothing actually was changing.

At present in the utility > style tab you have colour options for background, border, disabled and text. Can another be added for lost connection so when wifi drops out the background changes to a chosen colour and when it reconnects reverts back to your normal chosen colour / appearence and if you don’t want this just set the ‘background’ and ‘lost wifi background’ the same settings. This would definately be quite obvious MixPad wasn’t connected and in my opinion the more obvious it is the better…

Also can the CH. (channel) and MIX buttons be one button with the default setting being CH. and you press it to enter MIX layout and the button turns red like the mute button to let you know your in the MIX dislay (even though this is pretty obvious) and you press it again to go back to CH. display. In other words one press toggles the view.

One less button would give enough room to have an extra tab for a SCene and sOFT key tab (SCOFT) and on this tab have the 8 soft keys as in the surface and the surface scene keys.

This may well also give enough room to have the “Custom 2” tab also available on the lower part of the screen rather than just upper part of the screen which would give a lot more flexibility of the MixPad in my opinion.

Also thumbs up to Stix’s idea also…

Cheers,

Gary.

With the iDR-32 and the iLive system allowing upto 64 channels you can have two channel strips assigned to one input on the mixrack. I’ve used 1-32 for FoH and then 33-64 for Monitoring then the only thing shared is the pre-amp. On each PC set up custom layers with channels 1-32 and mains, FX etc for FoH and on the other PC set up custom layers with 33-64 with aux’s etc… Seems to work quite nicely.

Yes… Suggested this with Editor about 2 years ago.

Just thought the Presonus feature was quite nice that’s all.

I’ve been checking out other mixers iPad apps and even though I think A&H’s is way better than the rest the Presonus Studiolive does have one interesting feature. The graphic EQ can be put into a draw mode and as you drag your finger from one fader to the next the sliders jump to where you finger is, sorta like running your hand along a traditional outboard GEQ. I quite like this, the app is free so give it a ago. What’s the chance of getting this implemented on the MixPad app A&H?

Cheers,

Gary.

Same here with the iPad2, seems to run fine with other apps still running. Would really like to see soft keys introduced and have the custom layers hold more than 16 channel strips (24 would be ideal for me) or maybe an iPhone / iPod app that just has 8 soft keys…

Cheers,

Gary.

Hi,

It would be nice on the MixPad app custom layers to be able to hold more than 16 channel strips.

Cheers,

Hmmm… Interesting. £10 seems a large increase considering the value of the product. Oh well, gotta have it anyway as MixPad is is predominately what I purchased the iPad for.
