TouchMix-30 Control is an app for iPad, iPad mini, iPhone and iPod touch that provides wireless control of QSC TouchMix-30 Pro digital sound reinforcement mixers. The app is not intended to perform any audio mixing or processing tasks on its own. Visit http://www.qsc.com for more information. When run on the iPad and iPad mini, the TouchMix-30 Control app closely follows the operational paradigm of the mixer. 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. On the iPhone and iPod touch, 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. Features - Input channel processing (4-band PEQ, variable high & low-cut filters, gates, compressor) - Output channel processing (1/3 octave GEQ, 6-band PEQ, delay, variable high & low-cut filters, anti-feedback filters and wizard) - Two Real Time Analyzer (RTA) - Simple or Advanced mixer mode - Displays channel and output level meters - Channel and output levels - Effects and Aux (monitor) send levels - Select input presets from extensive library - Select and control 4 simultaneous effects - Input and output Mutes and Cues - Configure and control DCA and Mute Groups - Multi-track recorder arm, playback and transport - Two 24-channel Auto mixers - Scenes, Snapshots and Cue List Management - Includes TouchMix on-board Info system reference guide. - And more… Requirements - iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, iPod touch running iOS 16.5 or later - QSC TouchMix-30 Pro with version 3.0 or higher firmware installed. - QSC TouchMix-30 Pro connected to a Wi-Fi network (recommended). Visit http://www.qsc.com for more details on Wi-Fi connections. - Note that controlling a mixer with multiple iOS devices running different versions of the app is not recommended. - QSC, LLC Website TouchMix Support Application License Agreement.

Your band. All in sync. Giggable helps you manage your band's charts, comms, and calendar; all in one place. Why bands use Giggable Rehearsals are rare. If the plan lives in someone’s texts or members show up unprepared, you lose the night. Important updates get buried in group chats. Setlists, charts, recordings, and gig details end up in five places—and everyone arrives with a different version. Giggable fixes that with a shared source of truth your whole band can trust. Everything in one place - Songs with keys, tempos, notes, and reference audio—organized so nobody guesses which version you’re playing - Lead sheets and song roadmaps with sections, cues, counts, and notes - Shareable setlists that stay current for the whole band - Calendar and gig management: all the info about all gigs are in the app - Band comms Stay aligned in real time When the leader changes a tune or the set order, every member’s device updates instantly—less confusion, smoother transitions on stage and in rehearsal. Gigs and rehearsals that stick - Band calendar for members—gigs, rehearsals, and scheduling - Call time, load-in, set lengths, notes, and links in one spot - Share the plan ahead of time so rehearsal is for tightening, not teaching from scratch Onboard subs in one link Send fill-ins everything they need: charts, recordings, notes, setlist context, and gig details—without a folder dump or ten follow-up messages. Band communication - Band-wide chat - Dedicated chat channels per gig - Fewer buried updates and repeated “what time do we load in?” questions Made for real gigging musicians Whether you lead the band, sit in as a sub, or run a horns section, Giggable keeps everyone aligned and ready—on your phone or tablet. Create your band, invite your members, and get back to making music instead of managing chaos.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Giggable at 5.0 against TouchMix's 3.2. Giggable also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months). TouchMix's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
