I use the arrow keys the most when mixing after the show is set up
The new touch view works ok on my Asus tablet but I still use the keys
I just mixed a show on a Soundcraft Expression using an Ipad since the mixer was at the stage and I just could not be as smooth as I want to be and the wifi dropped out twice at least unlike SAC it reconnected easy. I also work in a venue where the system is ONLY controlled with an Ipad (LS9 hidden in an office) it sucks to be quite frank.
Oh well to each his own![]()
Moving from Large Soundcraft analogue to a keyboard and mouse (and a 8ch pack) was enough of a slow down just can't move down to an I something
Had to mix a show on a Mackie the other night and don't want to go back to analogue again either I missed the good eq and and only had 2 comp chs the band really needed more help than that and don't even get me started on the built in effects![]()

It's good for tweaks and monitor mixes. On outdoor shows, I keep something to walk out from under the tent. Always to walk up on stage and tweak... but to mix a whole show? it's a bit cumbersome. Various ones work better than others. The X32 Mixing Station app (not designed by Behringer) is quite usable on android tabs to mix a whole show... did that the other night. Allen & Heath's apps are pretty good too. The soundcraft app is a bit cumbersome and the LS9 app is, ahem... not great.
