## What is TouchMix?

TouchMix-8/16 Control is an app for iPad, iPad mini, iPhone and iPod touch that provides wireless control of QSC TouchMix-8 and TouchMix-16 digital sound reinforcement mixers. Visit http://www.qsc.com  for more information. The app is not intended to perform any audio mixing or processing tasks on its own.

When run on the iPad and iPad mini, the TouchMix Control app closely follows the operational paradigm of the mixers. The iPad and the mixer GUI operate independently so it is possible for the iPad to act as an additional user interface that can display and control a set of functions completely different from those being controlled by the mixer’s screen and hardware. An alternate operation mode – Follow Mixer – is also available. With Follow Mixer engaged, the iPad follows the fader selection on the mixer. Touch a fader on the mixer and the iPad will display that channel’s Overview, EQ, Compressor, Sends or Gate screen. Touch a parameter on the iPad and the mixer’s rotary control will adjust it – or just drag on the iPad screen. When used without an actual TouchMix, the app acts as a demonstration of the mixer GUI and functionality but does not control audio in any way.

On the iPhone, the TouchMix Control app functions as a personal stage monitor mix control with the option to also remotely operate the mixer’s record and playback features as well as programmable user buttons. To prevent inadvertent adjustment of controls, the mixer operator may allow or restrict access to selected functions on a per-device basis.

### 2/5 — Great….when it works….

*2025-08-10, version 3.0.34*

I really love my Touchmix 16, and it’s so amazing when I can connect my iPad to control the levels from around the room. But I have find that there are multiple situations where the iPad or people‘s iPhones do not connect to the mixer… This happens so frequently that the band members have given up trying to control their own mixes from their own iPhones (which was one of the reasons that we bought this mixer). The iPad connects about 85% of the time. I just used it as a gig with a new iPad and it would not connect at all. This almost ruined a gig for me. I would say the Touchmix is amazing, and if this app worked even 95% of the time, it would be great, but it doesn’t due to connection issues with iPads and iPhones. Really frustrating.

### 3/5 — Needs L3 connectivity

*2025-03-09, version 3.0.34*

We need to be able to reach mixers over layer 3 by entering a hostname or IP. Would help a lot in large campus area networks. Also make iPhone app more useful.

### 4/5 — Split View

*2025-02-14, version 3.0.34*

Guten Tag, bin sehr zufrieden mit der App, hätte nur einen Verbesserungsvorschlag. Leider ist es nicht möglich die App im Split View auf dem Ipad zu benutzen. Das würde es ermöglichen Licht und Ton App gleichzeitig offen zu haben. Vielleicht ist das ja möglich umzusetzen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen

### 3/5 — Problème connexion

*2024-11-18, version 3.0.34*

Je détecte bien ma console TouchMix 8 dans l’application, mais quand j’appuie pour la sélectionner rien ne se passe.
J’ai déjà réussi à me connecter avec une précédente version peut être qu’une mise à jour m’a bloqué.
Avez vous une idée pour que cela fonctionne à nouveaux ? 
Il n’y a aucun menu paramètre dans l’application 
Merci

### 1/5 — Ipad mini 4, ios 12

*2024-09-13, version 3.0.34*

L’appli fonctionne t ´elle avec cette version ?
Merci

### 5/5 — Great mixer, great software but why no Bluetooth?

*2024-08-01, version 3.0.34*

I love the mixer- and I love that we can connect the software to phone and iPad- great to have this technology- but it lags behind as there is no Bluetooth connection for iPad to play songs directly to the mixer- we have to buy an additional device to get it to connect or have it wired up. Not a problem with the software per se but a problem with the mixer. However all this wireless connectivity yet no blue tooth. 😞

### 1/5 — Unprofessional staff, zero knowledge, extremely poor customer service. Avoid at any cost.

*2024-06-28, version 3.0.34*

QSC TouchMix-16. Ever since IOS update QSC remote control on the iPhone has issues. The main issue is that the mute buttons are greyed out and can’t be accessed. Selecting everything still has them greyed out. If I am not connected to the TouchMix WiFi the buttons  work perfectly. I had a call back from QSC and the operator obviously had no idea about this problem. He claimed that the mute buttons were disabled because I might make a mistake because the iPhone is too small, what rubbish. I told him that if that was the case the mute button would light up in red showing that it was muted, furthermore it is impossible to slide the fader down and mute the channel at the same time. I have no idea where they get these technical people from. Since IOS 15 the mute buttons have been greyed out.
Very unprofessional team, zero knowledge of their own product. 
I would be embarrassed to hire someone like that.

### 2/5 — Verbindung mit ipad instabil

*2024-06-06, version 3.0.34*

Nach der erfolgreichen Erstverbindung (Touchmix 16 über wired Verbindung mit WLAN Routervverbunden) meines iPad mit dem Touchmix 16, ging bei der folgenden Session nichts mehr. Eine Verbindung konnte nicht hergestellt werden, obwohl der TM16 am iPad „sichtbar“ war. Das Köschen des Nutzers zwecks Neuverbindung brachte nichts, ebenso wenig wie der Neustart beider Geräte. So macht das wenig Sinn und eine stabilere Verbindung wäre nötig, um den TM remote zu bedienen. Das Gleiche (Instabilität, Verbindungs-Infarkt) gilt für die on-board WLAN verbingung durch den WLAN Dongle. So nicht nutzbar. Sorry. Bitte nachbessern!!!!!

### 1/5 — Time’s a-wasting

*2024-05-17, version 3.0.34*

If I can’t control this mixer with my iPad, why would I use this? I wouldn’t. That is the whole point of this thing. Fixing this should be a priority for QSC. They don’t want us to be out here looking for a replacement for this mixer, do they?

### 1/5 — Falla - Urgente corregir

*2024-03-31, version 3.0.26*

No permite activar la función de RTA en el EQ (no hay botón de aceptar) de igual forma para desactivar la función Link para canales o auxiliares. La versión anterior funcionaba correctamente. 

Al cambia de ventana o aplicación se pierde la conexión con la mezcladora, requiere cerrar y volver a abrir para que se pueda conectar.
