Thanks for the advice Barryjam. So far, I’ve made up a box with two momentary switches because its easy to do and I had the parts to hand. I’ve been using it with the soft latch setting on the Qu-SB to mute channel groups and also to stop and start recording, for which it works well. Momentary switches don’t have the loud click of latching switches which is good. The only disadvantage – and I’ll have to see if it bothers me – is that you can’t use LEDs on the box to tell you whether the switches are on or not (but a quick check on the iPad tells me this). Anyway, my initial experience is that the TRS switch on the Qu-SB is well worth making use of for a performing musician who wants a quick physical way to change a couple of settings without having to fumble for the iPad. Happy days!

I use an iPad mini (1st get) to drive a Qu-SB. Fast, responsive and unobtrusive. Screen is generally large enough – the only issue I have is my finger sometimes misses fader knobs which are quite small – I have to be precise.

In terms of the wireless access point (separate topic I know but others have commented), I find the Apple Airport Express (2nd gen) very reliable – never missed a beat. My Qu-SB is in a shallow 4U rack case and the Airport is velcro’d to the inside rear of the case, permanently connected by LAN cable to the mixer. Wifi signal is fine for 10m distance but I take it out if the signal dips.
