I'm running on the cheapest (lowest memory, non-4G) new iPad. AC-7 Core is available for the iPhone as AC-7 Core Mini. V-Control is not available for the iPhone. ps Neyrinck says that a retina display version of V-Control Pro should be available in May. I hadn't noticed any deficiency on my new iPad related to the display, though.

Thank you sir.
That will hold me till I get the extra $600 for an iPad.

I still have to explain to the little lady why I needed another mic & mic pre combo this week.

She didn't buy the old "it's the guitar players gear but he get's it delivered here because this is where we record" bit.  
That worked for the guitar amp and stand but I suspect that she now knows that's BS too.

 Yes Undo and Rewind to start would be so useful. Is there likely to be this type of functionality in the future - I realise you can do this with v-window.

The only experimenting I did changing defaults in V-Control Pro is to reprogram F8 in the EDIT screen to Rewind to Start. Works great. Update about the retina display upcoming patch: Neyrinck says this will improve the appearance of the sliders. Again, I don't see how this is any problem now. Neyrinck also said the earlier iPad versions (1 & 2) run V-Control just fine.

maybe someone here can help me ....



I got the v window to work and it recognizes my computer. I could see sonar and work with  sonar in the v window view on the IPAD which is awesome.      

But the faders don't work  or anything in V-control    

It's weird. Why can it see sonar in the v window and I can use it that way ..... But not the faders or anything else.  

I've been trouble shooting this for a few weeks now.  

The v control is reconized and checked in midi devices in and outs.

In SONAR, not only do the V-control choices have to be recognized in MIDI Devices, but then you must go to Control Surface, choose Mackie-Control 1, and select V-Control under the In and Out. Did you do this? Did you check, is the Bonjour service running?

I realize you need a Network or wifi to get these apps to work, Is there a way to set these apps up without connecting my daw to the internet.

 
The computer must be on the network, but doesn't necessarily have to be on the Internet.  You should be able to use your router to disallow Internet access for your DAW while still leaving it on the network.

I wouldn't worry about connecting to the internet, I have my main DAW connected to the internet all the time even when I am recordging, it's all myth's and fairies about some great big nasty virus is going to eat your computer. Just don't accept that offer of marriage from that russian saying she is a princess.

 
Welllll, that depends.  A properly protected computer isn't at much risk from a random attack (firewall, virus protection, etc.)  But there are still good reasons for disconnecting from the Internet.  Some background services routinely reach out to the Internet, which can sometimes spike the processor or disk access.  Plus, all that anti-virus crap is horrible about interrupting the system...so you'll want to disable it, and that means you probably want to disable the Internet, as well, at least while you're working. 
 
I admit I leave the Internet on sometimes, too, but there have been times I've regretted it (catching a spike right in the middle of recording the perfect take, for example).  So, I prefer to minimize the risk whenever possible.  Naturally, YMMV.
