GLD OneMix personal monitor control application V1.61 for iPad. Important! - This version is for use with GLD systems running V1.6 firmware. We recommend that you disable any automatic updating to avoid unexpected incompatibility with the firmware version your mixer is running. OneMix is a cut down version of the GLD Remote app that locks control to a single Aux (monitor) mix. Multiple iPads may be set up by the ‘Admin’ user to give each musician customised personal monitor control via Wi-Fi connection to GLD without the risk of affecting the other monitors or FOH main mix. OneMix features: Provides access to just one mono or stereo monitor (Aux) mix Prevents access to the other monitors and FOH main mix Can be configured to provide as much or as little control as needed Shows metering of sends and Aux master Can be password protected Can run multiple iPads alongside GLD Remote and mixer Logon as a User provides personal control of their: ---- Monitor (Aux) master level and mute ---- Monitor master PEQ, GEQ and Comp if enabled ---- Send levels and stereo pan to the monitor ---- Send Mute, Gate, PEQ, GEQ, Comp if enabled ---- DCA group levels if assigned ---- SoftKeys if assigned Logon as Admin allows custom setup: ---- Set a OneMix session name to identify the user ---- Choose an Aux (monitor) mix ---- Assign a ‘My Mix’ layer and up to 3 custom layers ---- Assign up to 8 strips in the My Mix layer ---- Assign up to 32 strips per custom layer ---- Assign sends - Inputs, FX returns, Groups ---- Assign DCA masters ---- Assign SoftKeys ---- Assign blank spaces in layers ---- Name each layer ---- Enable or disable channel processing and mutes per layer Requirements: iPad with iOS9.3 or higher. Any GLD mixer running firmware version V1.60 or higher, and with a suitable Wi-Fi router (wireless access point) connected to the GLD Network port.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Smart Assist at every 3 weeks against GLD OneMix's every 4 months. Smart Assist also leads on rating (2.9 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (38 vs 5). GLD OneMix's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 39%) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Smart Assist holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Assist has 38 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of GLD OneMix's written reviews are positive against 39% of Smart Assist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GLD OneMix ships an update every 4 months, Smart Assist every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
