Please note that it is important that you can control the mixer from the laptop first because you will eventually be controlling the laptop from your tablet.
You now have access to your console from your iPad! Walk about and control your mixer from where ever you wish! :-)
There are several apps on the app store that say that they can control various mixers remotely, however after reading the reviews and websites, I can not say that these apps have as much functionality as the native app made for your mixer.
Also there is a version of splashtop remote for your phone, however it is VERY small and difficult to manage. If I had a larger screen like some of the Android phones I've seen it might be worth checking into.
Also Available are Native apps that will control your mixer without the need for a remote connection. They are mostly high end boards that I don't think high school and drum corps would have the scratch to afford and or wish to take outside but if you are one of those groups. Then here are some apps that might be of use to you.
Wow, thanks for the detailed right up, Robbie! I've been using Splashtop for a while now and can definitely say that's THE way to go now as far as remote access goes, having tried quite a few different apps.
