I use to think Ipad controllers were the bee's knees. Now I think they another level of complexity, which are pretty useless. Esp when we have various touchscreen options. Perhaps as a remote to hit record and if you were setting up a live show and wanted to hear the mix from the back of the theatre.

Interesting for sure! Those of us who work alone a lot find the convenience of wireless remote to be essential to a good work flow. I'm currently using v-control for view and an old Peavey Studiomix for full transpire control. Not fully wireless, but it allows me to do bardic transport operation from the playing room/ ISO booth...
I'd love to have a more complete and wireless solution!

I would use the crap out of this for my voice over work when I'm stuck in an isolation chamber and working alone. I just hope that it will also be on Windows and Android tablets. I've been looking to get a Surface Pro lately and would be kind of irked if it was only on iPads... which is kind of ironic when you consider that Sonar isn't Mac compatible (though yes, iPads are the popular tablet or something).
EDIT: From the looks of it, this isn't an official app, just someone who makes their own GUIs.

Sonar might not be MAC compatible, but iOS is very music compatible. I originally had a Nexus 7, a nice tablet but the music app support (both in the OS and from developers) is very poor. A lot of music applications are only available on iOS because of this. I changed to an iPad mini and haven't looked back, most of the music related apps I use on it are free too.

dont need anything from the i-company. there has been already an universal tablet controller for Android; TouchDAW. its readily avail from Android Play Store. 2 versions; 1 is free to try the other is paid. For $5; highly doubt there is much to gripe about. All the functions work with Sonar including the jog-dial, transport, keyboard, X-Y pads, big time etc... had this since X1 and there are many others who use this too... http://www.humatic.de/htools/touchdaw/

Yeh. I can vouch for TouchDAW too, but I find the complexity of getting it working sometimes a bit much. I've gone back to just using my cordless keyboard which comes into the isolation booth with me when working alone, which is great for everything accept checking levels etc. Thinking of putting another monitor on the wall in the booth so I can see what I'm doing.

(Attempt #27 to post) I used TouchDAW on the Nexus, but in my opinion the MIDI set-up is non-trivial (iOS comes with built-in network MIDI drivers, Android does not). Tobias Erichsen's software helps enormously...and is free. As does installing Apple's Bonjour service under Windows (yup, you need something from "the i-company" to get Android and Windows working together á la network MIDI...unless you like the pain of not having zero-config service detection). FWIW, this page describes the set-up process very well: http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/rtpmidi/rtpmidi-tutorial.html In addition to setting up TouchDAW, I also used the free 64-bit virtual MIDI cable drivers (also available from Erichsen's pages) to plumb in MIDI Doodle to convert the X-Y MIDI information generated by TouchDAW to polar coordinates suitable for sending on to Omnisphere's Orb controller (works pretty well as a substitute for Omni TR).

I tried one of the iPad controllers that are available. I just tried the free version, I didn't buy the full version. However, it did not have full Sonar functionality and the PC had to be "on line" (at least on line with the wireless router) to function. I keep my PC off line when recording (I disable the NIC).
Unless the Cakewalk product is a Bluetooth connection, it will face the same issue of requiring the PC to be on line. But if it is Bluetooth that will require installing a Bluetooth adapter, for many PC's.
I would like another wireless option as my Frontier Tranzport is flakey (sometimes stops working and requires a PC reboot to get it back operating). Whether this is a hardware problem or Win 7 compatibility issue, I haven't been able to determine. I have installed the Transport in the native Win 7 mode and a Vista compatibility mode and it didn't make any difference, but then Windows 7 is basically just "Vista improved". The Tranzport is a discontinued product.

I've been using TouchOSC Android for some of my plugins and it works pretty well on my phone. The thing I don't like is that the interface is pretty rudimentary. Something like what OP posted would be a lot nicer to work with because the interface looks professional and clean.
