iPad Controller?

Post by Henry Robinett »

Hey folks! Long time no see. What are you folks using for DP control on iPad. I used to love Tranzport! and then the DP Control for iPhone. Then I used something else which I can't remember for iPad. It was fairly expensive and buggy. THEN I used Neyrinck V-Control Pro-1 a few years back. It worked. No real complaints. Now he's updated it to 1.9.2. Looks fine. $49 yearly subscription if you want the bells and VCP-2. But I am trying to use the VCP-1 and not having much success and support is dreadful. I'm getting the meters and transport to move in VCP-1 but I can't get it to control DP. It's one way, and not the way I need it. I'm sure it works, but I don't know what either I'm doing wrong or what's up with it.

So I thought I'd ask here: What are folks using, if anything, for iPad/iPhone control of DP?
All the best,

While DP isn't listed as one of the supported DAW's, I've successfully used PT Control to control DP. Otherwise the options are hit and miss.

I got V-Control Pro-1 to work. It might be a little flakey, but it did or does what I need it to do, which is to remotely control DP while I record guitar.
