Dear bdunard:
I am have about 100 shows into a tour that is set up just about how you want your system to work. I have an IDR32 and only use a macbook to control the system using editor. I have really had mixed results using the iPad. It has limited system control. For example, if you save Scenes/Mixes for different songs you can’t change between them using the iPad, only editor. What I have found best is to use a macbook air, and run editor, just a light weight and you have 100% control and function. We use it both WIFI and Ethernet. WIFI is fine along as the you don’t have dropouts or interruptions on the WIFI due to distance or other WIFI conflicts. I would say 95% of the shows I am just using WIFI. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you want to chat on the phone. I am on a tour in South East Asia now but email me and I will be happy to give you a buzz….jeff at 5280media dot com
