## What is VST Connect Performer?

VST Connect Performer for iPad offers absolute freedom when it comes to remote recording collaborations with producers and musicians. Connect your iPad to the Web, hook up your mic or instrument and allow any studio running Cubase and Nuendo with the VST Connect plug-in record your performance in real time, no matter where you are!
And it just gets better: with VST Connect Pro on the host machine VST Connect Performer for iPad excels in
audio quality as well as providing multi-channel and LAN support. And with onboard cue mix capability for talkback and monitoring, it’s just like in a typical recording studio environment, but that’s probably as representative as it’ll get: you could be anywhere besides the studio!

System requirements
 
VST Connect Performer for iPad requires VST Connect SE 4 or VST Connect Pro 4 as a counterpart.
 
VST Connect SE 4 is included in Cubase Pro 10.

For earlier Cubase versions, please go to the VST Connect website and download the appropriate update.

### 2/5 — Vorsicht!

*2023-12-11, version 4.0.40*

Auf einem iPad mit iPadOS 17 hat diese App praktisch keine Funktion! Es lässt sich nichts konfigurieren, die Fader des Mixers lassen sich nicht bewegen usw. Die App friert ein und kann nur noch beendet werden.

Auf einem iPad Pro von 2017 mit iPadOS 16 ist sie aber benutzbar. Man sollte aber beachten, dass sie im Vergleich zum VST Connect Performer für Windows und OSX sehr eingeschränkte Möglichkeiten hat.  Es können auf dem iPad nur Audiosignale übertragen werden, keine MIDI-Daten. Und die Einbindung von AuV3-Apps als Plugin ist anscheinend überhaupt nicht möglich.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy it

*2023-11-27*

Don’t buy it. It doesn’t work. At least for me, it has been a waste of time and money.

### 1/5 — Is this still supported by Steinberg?

*2022-12-14, version 4.0.40*

I downloaded today and on iOS 16 I just can seem to get anything other than the log in to the VST cloud working.
After loading, it freezes after a could of click.
Please let me know if this is still a product or I can ask Apple for a refund.
Regards.

### 1/5 — Shocking problems with delay on recording

*2020-08-01, version 4.0.40*

Not happy, total waste of money.
We found it impossible to use this in convention with the very latest version of the software.

It’s so hard to sync the recordings.
If it had some kind of time code built in it would be fine.
That way you could line up via a clock. As it it if I could I would ask for my money back.

Not happy.
We have spent many thousands of pounds on the studio over the years but during lockdown needed to carry on recording.
This was not only hard to set up to record but a shocker to try and fix timing issues. 

Also to expect me to buy a version for the Mac when the iPad version was unusable is a total shocker.

### 1/5 — WHY?!

*2020-05-10*

I’ve tried both this app and the pc windows version of this and it doesn’t work at all. Please make this compatible. Otherwise this was a complete waste of money even for 4.99.

### 1/5 — con pro 4 Kein login key mehr möglich

*2020-05-03, version 3.0.20*

Mai 2020! immer noch das gleiche problem wie bei allen...neues connnect pro 4  mit cub 10.5 auf host aber die app kann keinen login key erhalten. Ist kein feature der prosoftware mehr ...strange.. sowas darf nicht passieren oder bitte schnell nachregeln!

### 1/5 — Not compatible

*2020-04-26*

No longer works with the new update. Seriously, Mean to tell me you couldn't update the iOS version steinberg?...c'mon!

### 1/5 — Keine Verbindung zu Cubase 10.5 Pro möglich

*2020-04-25, version 3.0.20*

Ich habe mich auch gerade vom Angebot von VST Connect Pro locken lassen. Leider geht die Verbindung zwischen der iPad App und Cubase 10.5 Pro mit dem VST Connect 4 Plugin gar nicht. Schade - 2x umsonst Geld ausgegeben...

### 1/5 — No worries

*2020-04-21*

Come on folks, touting it as a solution and it won’t with the new version

### 1/5 — Version 4

*2020-04-21, version 3.0.20*

Wann kommt denn endlich Version 4 für das iPad raus?
