Suggest you save “burford basic” to a couple of other shows, like “burford basic2” and “burford basic3”. To have a backup when the first file gets corrupted.

I too, had this error; and found that it was somehow in my show. When I changed to a different show, no error. Reload my show, the error appears. I had to start over and re-write my show. (I now save my show under a different name every week, just in case it happens again, so I don’t lose so much.)

For those struggling with getting Custom Control apps working, here are a few helpful tips. Allen & Heath has a couple of videos, about an hour long each; that will teach you to design an app. But very little info that I could find on how to get it uploaded to the console and use it.

The keyring should contain the password(s) to the consoles you hope to connect to and control with the app. Not the passwords for the users of the app(s) you have set in the apps you have written.

1. Login to Custom Control Editor as Admin in order to upload your app (password is either nothing, or the password you set on the console). I have no idea if and where you can look on the console to see what apps have been uploaded, or delete old apps, but you can download an app back to your computer, in order to insure that it actually is on the console.
2. If the app you wrote has a user and user password set; add that user and password to the console in the consoles user list. I suggest removing all user permissions for that user, as they can use those credentials to login at the console, and do far more than what the app lets them do.
3. If you try to connect on the app, and it immediately gives you a connection failure message, it is not seeing the console. If you try to connect and it tries for a few seconds, and then gives you the connection failure message, it saw the console but had a user permissions error, or a wifi network fault. If you try to connect and it immediately says it is downloading info from the console, celebrate.

I had a bad wifi access point that caused me trouble. I was using the Admin user name and password I had set in Custom Control but not the password I had set for Admin on the console (capitalization difference). I also had written two apps, and given each a user name and password in Custom Control, but not added those users to the user list on the console. So I hope this info helps anyone having trouble like I was.

Thanks, Martin and Nicola. With your help, I got it working.

To get around this, I didn’t program a talkback mic on my Avantis, but I named a group Talk. It consists of the mic our music director uses to queue the band, and my mic back in the booth.

My need for a monitor app is this, I have musicians with ME-1s. My singers have IEMs that I feed by Aux feeds. There are 8 singers. I would like for them to have control of what they hear, but not control of my entire board. So MixPad is not an option. If I used OneMix, I would need to buy 8 IPADs. Perhaps if MixPad had setup options where I could control what the singers accessed, and limit it to only those 8 aux feeds… The singers could share an IPAD, select their mix, adjust it, but not have access to anything else.
