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.

TouchMix's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
