SQ MIX PADS it’s way better

I used to use the SQ7 and now we change it for the Avantis. This app need lots of improvements.

Great App that needs some refining

30 years ago when our church was built, they had the wonderful idea to place the mixing / control station inside an enclosed booth. This App allows us to mix in the middle of the sanctuary at the optimal position.

The app is responsive and allows you to access 98% of all controls. Some knobs are fidgety and do not show values, mainly in plugins. We really need to see number values at ALL times. For example, the Optronik compressor’s threshold goes up and down but do not show the number values to make a precision adjustment. Please add the numeric values.

Overall, this is a stable app with tons of control.

Thank you A & H!

Could be better

Controls are fidgety making adjustments difficult at times. Disconnects from the console WiFi when iPad screen goes to sleep. I would like a separate page with longer throws on the faders. All this makes for limited usability.

Please allow more control over the console

Our old mixer was the Midas m32 and we could control every aspect of the console on the ipad. It even had RTA in the back round. I get this console has on been out for a year and their working on it. My one request would be allow more control and please please add the rta option in the back round. Keep up the good work guys

Terrible

App is terrible compared to the SQ MixPad app.

Good App—Needs Improvement

We use the app extensively at my church. Fantastic app that saves a ton of time getting monitor mixes dialed in before a performance. As another reviewer said, one thing holding me back from giving more stars is that the app logs you out each time you switch to another app, making multi-tasking very difficult. Changing this would be my biggest request. The other feature that may need a firmware update to do is it would be nice to give a user control over Auxes only and not all mixes. This way no user other than the one at the actual console can accidentally grab a fader they are not supposed to.

Great app otherwise and the feature set is promising. Just some tweaks before I’m ready to give more stars.

Needs to be Faster/Versatile

Some suggestions:
App logs out every time the user leaves the app. Logging back in is too slow for functional multitasking. Either include FaceID, or in reality, there should be a timed logout of over an hour.

At the mic preamp UI, an indication as to what source the console channel is getting it’s signal from, whether SLink, Local Sockets, or other, would be really helpful. - I understand that many apps are not given the ability the change the source, but seeing that data would still be beneficial.

Instead of a double tap to MIX mix sends, a long-press. This would eliminate accidental double taps elsewhere on the screen, thus eliminating accidental mix adjustments for inappropriate outputs.

DEEP plugins UI’s would also be a great upgrade, perhaps eventual.

Workflow is thoughtful. There’s a lot of capability without being too overwhelming. The interface responds quickly.
