thanks! :) I'm going to check out the Android app as well - that seems very intriguing.

You bet James. I'd look into the Android too, find the tool that works best for you and you'll be on your way.

It doesn't hold a candle to V-Control IMHO, but I've tried it too and it's definitely your best option on Android!

Mike,
 
Don't know much about the remote desktop feature on windows tablets but this sounds really interesting! I would love to have remote control over X3 in the ISO booth but so far my attempts at getting TouchDaw to work on my older android phone have been dismal.
 
Does remote desktop work the same way ( through a router devoted to the DAW, bluetooth from the tablet? ect ) And when you use it, can you see the Sonar x3 screen set that is active?? And how is the latency?
 
Ive envied other studios that have the Ipad/V Control setup. You set it up and boom, it just works and the V-window looks just like the Sonar Screen that's in focus.

Yes, check out the TouchDAW app on Android.

+1 I use that with much success.

Plus 1 on the Surface RT.... remote desktop comes built in.  You get your actual DAW screens running on the RT and can walk around the studio and totally control your DAW.
 
This comes in handy when you are the engineer and musician at the same time.  No more walking back and forth to the desktop machine with a guitar wrapped around your neck. :-)

Remote Desktop Connection is built into Windows. In your Win 8 machine just type in Remote Desktop Connection then enter the name of your DAW (Control Panel : System : Computer Name). You may get a warning about Security Certificates being skewed, just accept that and you should be in. I connect my Surface to a router via WiFi and my DAW is connected to the router by wire. Haven't experienced any latency issues. 
 
I'm currently using it almost exactly as you describe...a remote transport for when I want to record outside of my project studio room...I'm lucky my home has incredible acoustics.
 
Hope that helps. Let me know if you need more info.

I tried using jumi desktop on x2 with iphone 4, it works.

Nice, thanks for all the answers!
 
I actually have TouchDAW, just never thought one could use that to control Sonar...

Is TouchDAW the best Android App out there?

For those who are having trouble setting up TouchDAW, here is the video that got me going: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcCoa7JLddI
