I would love to see a simple transport app for I phone. I use windows 7x64 because of my sound card. so touch screens are not an option. This would allow one to be AFK and at an instrument to hit the record button easily.
I bet many are in the same boat for a variety of specifics.
My guess is they have programming staff for windows only. This would be a bell or whistle for passing hardware rather than reel sonic development.......nevermind. Or is it?
to comment on some other posts, Sonar is not very well supported by others for three reasons. #1 they are more advanced than the current standards for MIDI implementation, causing others headaches. #2, lack of stability. The sale and bugs over the last few years make Sonar viewed as unprofessional. #3 There is no "full fledged" solution to get knobs in front of a user like a 48 track mixer that integrates well with sonar and integrates with dedicated digital hardware mixing. the MCU lacks EQ, the V700 lacks channels, the Nucleus is hard to integrate and expensive. They are targeting the long run where everything is touch screen. The problem with that is: As soon as you have to read anything, the non-creative part of the brain has to be engaged. Buttons and sliders will never go away for the high end of things.
Edit after a few other posts. I should really ask, who has a good experience with a touch screen for the money, and what monitor/software did you use within windows 7? I have a V700, and control-1, so I will have the basics working fast, EQ, faders, transports. The larger banks of faders, and re-assignment of sends would be nice on a touch screen. Graphic editing of some EQ's and Compressor would be kinda nice too.
