## What is CL StageMix?

StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that provides remote control of Yamaha CL digital mixing console functions via a simple, intuitive graphical interface from anywhere within wireless range. The software has been specifically designed to allow engineers to adjust monitor mixes from the performers’ positions on stage, directly controlling mix parameters via the iPad rather than having to rely on verbal directions to a second engineer. The result is better mixes in less time; a huge advantage during high-pressure pre-show setup. Although StageMix is focused on the requirements for adjusting monitor mixes on stage, its range of features is continually expanding, allowing it to be used for a wider variety of remote control functions.

### 1/5 — Basically useless

*2025-11-18, version 8.5.6*

Fails to connect randomly 
Fails to maintain connection randomly
Cannot be trusted to work.

### 5/5 — ios 17

*2023-11-18, version 8.5.3*

Not working properly on ios 17

### 3/5 — Premium Effects Are Lost

*2023-11-02, version 8.5.3*

Great app, but there is no way to edit premium effects which is a huge deal when FOH is not in optimal position and need to soundcheck with an iPad.

### 3/5 — Unimpressive

*2018-09-30, version 7.0.3*

Way too much button pressing to get anything done quickly. And, time is of the essence when mixing monitors.  For example, I cannot change the mix I’m working on without two button presses.  Why is there not just a row of buttons for all the mixes.  Even Behringer gets it right.

In addition, there are too many things this app will not do, which forces a return to the console to make changes and then back up to the stage. It is a lot of unnecessary work.

### 1/5 — EXTREMELY unreliable

*2018-06-24, version 7.0.2*

I've been using this app since day 1 with different firmware & different iPad models in different WiFi environment with same poor results. Disconnects every 5 to 10 minutes & takes long time to reconnect. Yamaha is unable to deliver a reliable product yet the cost is extremely high compared to other digital consoles that I have.

### 3/5 — Custom layer

*2018-03-05, version 7.0.2*

Have been using the app since the M7CL, new version has the custom layer but every time I shut down the app the custom layers are reset. Have done this on 2 different consoles an 4 different IPads. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

### 1/5 — Current version seems buggy

*2015-09-03, version 5.1.0*

This version crashes every time I try to synch with my console. Seems buggy. Waiting for the next upgrade.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2013-09-18, version 4.0.1*

This app is great in so many ways! It would be great to add a control page for the USB drive to remotely control playback from this when needed...

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2013-06-11, version 3.2.2*

Makes operating two boards at once very easy! Thanks Yamaha!

### 3/5 — For the Love of God 5D

*2012-06-13, version 3.0.3*

I rather like this app.  I've had great success with the M7 and the LS9 app as well.  But please, for the love of everything that is holy, come up with a PM5D app, it could be invaluable. Mixing monitors wirelessly with Studio Manager is a pain.  There is too much lag time with a VNC.  Yamaha, please.
