Anyone using TranzPort with DP ?
Anyone using TranzPort or any other wireless controller with DP ? It would be cool if you want to cut acoustic piano in another room , to have an extra set of play and record buttons that you can take with you . Does it really work ?

Although this is over a year old, I just bought a Tranzport a few hours ago and man this thing is great to use. I LOVE IT!!!!!! I usually record vocals alone and although my Mackie Control is cool, I wasn't taking it in the iso booth with me. All I can say is this thing is great.
PS It works with my Mackie (I know, Motu said you could use multiple control surfaces, but I didn't think it would actually work)

I do the same thing. I take the tranzport into the booth with me as well

I love mine.
Warning/note:
At first I had terrible issues. When I connected the Tranzport, CPU usage slammed up over 75% and stayed there. Computer just idlin', DP running but not doing anything. Forget about multitracking. I eventually tracked it down to the USB bus, and since the Tranzport was the last thing I connected, and I hadn't noticed the problem before, I blamed the Tranzport. Wrong! It was the el-cheapo D-Link USB bluetoof dongle. Bad dongle! Bad, bad dongle!
Tranzport's been vital ever since. It sits next to the computer when I'm working and gets used as a transport control... it sits on the music stand when I'm tracking vocals or guitar, and it sits by the drums in iTunes mode so I can flip randomly through mp3s and wail away on drums to whatever comes up.

Love my Tranz Port. I also love my Alpha Track even though a few features are not yet DP ready. It is still nice to do some manual fades and do some riding for automation.
