ProRemote is the World's first 32 channel touch sensitive control surface that fits in the palm of your hand. ProRemote allows you to control your Audio applications wirelessly using your existing Wi-Fi network. Get realtime meter data and control your rig from across the room with flying faders! One binary runs on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch! - Are you behind the drums and need to check your levels and press record? - Do you frequently need to be in two places at the same time? - Do you like sitting on the couch and playing guitar instead of being glued to the computer? ProRemote is your solution! ProRemote is free to try or you can subscribe to all the features or just a subset. If you only need basic control, just the transport subscription can be added. Or have a look at ProTransport, an inexpensive "transport only" solution for controlling your rig. ProRemote on an iPad is like having four Mackie Control Universal Pros, but better because it's wireless and much less expensive. You get almost $4k of hardware for the price of ProRemote. And ProRemote also works on your iPhone and iPad, or both at the same time. Need an XY controller? Check out Pro XY. Use gravity to turn your knobs! Pro XY can also be unlocked in ProRemote. MIDI pads for drum programming or other tasks sounds nice, right? ProPads is your solution and can also be subscribed to within ProRemote. ProRemote also contains a virtual mouse and keyboard that allows full control of your audio machine for those hard to reach places! You can see and control your full computer from anywhere in your studio! This version officially supports: - ProTools - Apple Logic - Ableton Live - Soundtrack Pro - Digital Performer Unofficially we support (no skin or custom fader tapers, not all features may work): - Cubase - MIO Console - Sonar - Reaper - Reason - Vegas - FL Studio - Studio One - Audition - Tracktion - Final Cut Pro - Any audio software that supports Mackie Control protocol (or HUI protocol). ** You must download ProRemoteServer in order to use ProRemote. ** Please visit www.folabs.com/download.html to download the server. ProRemote is Mac only- Windows is unofficially supported via the new CoreMIDI feature that uses Apple CoreMIDI instead of our own protocol. Use rtpMIDI on Windows. CoreMIDI is not officially supported because it is buggy. ** PLEASE report bugs to us instead of leaving a bad review! ** Send a bug report to support@folabs.com and we will fix the bug ASAP as we work on the next release. We want this release to be as rock-solid as our last version so you can focus on making music. * Please note that certain Avid or Digidesign Ethernet based control surfaces can interfere with ProRemote's ability to control all 32 channels. In some cases ProTools will limit MIDI control surfaces to eight channels only. Please contact us before purchasing if you are unsure. * We will no longer support any iOS less than iOS 14 with this release. * For those users with older devices that cannot run iOS 14, just stay with the older version of ProRemote, it is still fully supported and can still be restored from the AppStore without problems. * Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Record a song, or import one you already recorded, including voice memos. Changes listens and writes the Nashville Number chart. It is a first draft, and it says so: the bars it is unsure of are marked, and you fix any chord with a tap. Then transpose it, print it for the band, or send it to Logic Pro so the Session Players follow the changes. Number-chart apps make you type every chord. Audio chord detectors hand you chords to learn, not a chart to record from. Changes does the actual job, for original and unpublished songs the catalog tools cannot look up: play it in, get the chart, fix it in a tap, and hand it off to Logic Pro. HOW IT WORKS • Record, or import audio you already have: a voice memo, a rehearsal take, or a quick pass on guitar or piano. Rough and lo-fi is fine; that is what it is built for. • Changes hears the key and structure on your device, then works out the changes and lays them out as a clean Nashville Number chart. • The bars it wasn't sure about are marked. Tap any chord to pick what you actually played. • Tap the key to transpose the whole chart. Size the numbers for a music stand. • Play along with a marker that follows the chart. YOUR LIBRARY Search by song name, lyrics or key. Keep several takes of one song together. Group songs into setlists for the gig. Deleted songs stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days. HAND IT OFF TO LOGIC PRO Export a MIDI file and open it in Logic Pro, then use Analyze chords and Chord Track so the Session Players follow the changes. On the Mac it opens in Logic in one click. Export a PDF for the band. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device: Apple's on-device Music Understanding, our chord analysis, and on-device lyric transcription. Your audio is never uploaded. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. FREE TO TRY Record, chart, view, play along, transpose, organize your library, and save as many songs as you like, all free. Changes Pro adds MIDI export to Logic Pro, PDF chart export, and Enhance, a one-tap on-device master for the takes you keep. Buy it once, it's yours. Requires iOS 27 or macOS 27 (Apple's on-device Music Understanding ships with the version 27 systems). Built for songwriters and artists cutting demos, producers, session players and worship music directors.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Changes at every 3 weeks against ProRemote's every 4 months. ProRemote's advantage is iOS requirement (14.1 vs 27.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
