I use my iPad to remote control my mixer for FOH, it's a Presonus SL24 and comes with its own dedicated remote program.  Just set the mixer at side of stage, no need for long multi-cores, and take the iPad to where ever you want to mix from.

It's great for setting foldback monitor levels, no more fighting with the primadonna vocalist. Just get up on stage with the iPad and listen yourself to how excellent your monitor mixes really are...

Talking of monitors,  there is a companion remote that runs on iPhones and iPods which allows every band member to set the level and mix of their own monitor,  within limits that you allow from FOH.


I love my iToys
