What's New in vMix Virtual Control Surface

4.2

June 2, 2021

-Updated the process of connection to vMix -Removed disconnection from the app. Previously, if the connection to vMix was "lost", the app would clear all the buttons and faders letting the user know that it may be disconnected. That has been removed as it is being redesigned. The buttons and faders will always appear on the app regardless of connection status.

Keep closing

Great product, I have a suggestion

Having all the inputs available is great, I have 57 inputs. On the VMix host I have the inputs categorized with the colored tabs so I can display only the set that I want to see. This functionality would be great on the iPad. I can implement the user button on the iPad to only display the subset that I want to display, but it only changes the host computers display. What I really want to do is restrict which inputs the iPad display (i really don’t want to change what the host computer displays). Although the categories on the host should control which one display. A couple of solution might be; 1. Just color the inputs on the iPad the same as the host (at least quicker to find them) 2. Add buttons that correspond to the tabs in VMix to restrict which inputs display.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately the information that vMix passes through their API doesn't include these input groupings, so there would be no way for our app to know what inputs are in what groups. Thanks for using the app!

Update is good but needs to stay connected

Update: i like a lot of new features with the newest update but I hate if I leave the app and go to another, you have to hit the connect button to reconnect. Then there’s a slight delay before being able to control anything. Very frustrating when trying to swap mics quickly. The old version did not make you reconnect each time.
I can control vMix from my church pew! I get to sit by my wife in church again. Thank you. Can you please add an update and add the default iPad clock and battery at the top of the page?

Useful app with responsive developer

Updating my review to 5 stars. I had an issue with the app crashing. I emailed their support email and Seth (the developer) called me directly to help troubleshoot. Turns out it was an issue with my configuration in VMix. If you’re having issues, retrace your steps through the tutorial.

The app is solid and provides a very responsive and intuitive digital control surface for VMix. I love the audio controls and routings options.

Thanks for the great review! Glad we could get your configuration figured out so we could get the app working.

Great App for vMix

I’ve been using this app for more than a year. Takes a lot of vMix complexity and puts it on a simple to use and intuitive graphic interface. The recent upgrade makes it even better than before. Thanks Seth.

Response from developer

Thanks for using the app and for the review! Glad it has been working well for you.
