Are you serious?
Wow, how dumb… Made for iPad but doesn’t work with a Focusrite Scarlett plugged directly into an iPad. No wonder all these tech workers are loosing their jobs. Shame on you Focusrite.
Low rating
Just downloaded this app, haven’t tried it yet but judging from the reviews this needs some work. Will that happen?
Absolutely unusable, constantly loses connection
I am stunned at just how unstable this app is. It takes roughly a full minute to make a connection to the Focusrite Control application running on your computer. Once it finally connects, it maintains a connection for anywhere from 15 seconds to two minutes, and then loses connection again. I’ve done all the troubleshooting steps, opening ports on my firewall, restarted routers & reconnected… nothing helps. It’s really a shame because remote control of external mixes was one of the selling points for the Focusrite hardware I just got. I don’t have any such problems with Avid’s Pro Tools control app, which maintains a rock solid connection at all times. So I know it’s possible…
M1 Mac Update
P.S.: If you guys do update this app for the M1 Macs, please leave the App Icon as-is; aesthetic still is very pleasing lol
Doesn’t actually control Interface
The app only acts as a remote for the control app running on your computer. I assumed this app would let me use my iOS device to turn on direct monitoring as my computer wasn’t connected at the moment. Apparently not, though. As such I’m not really sure what the point of this app is unless you have a absolutely huge studio that walking across it would really be worse than this app.
Clarrett 8PreX
A bit of an interesting app has control but can’t seem to do everything. I also see there was a talkback added, is this only for some of the interfaces? Nice tool but not very useful unless maybe you allow someone to control their headphones on their own.
Crashes
I can’t get into the app nor can I connect the scarlett solo to my iPad without it crashing I’m on an IPad 11 pro with a usb c to usb c cable. Could I have a bit of help please and thank you!
Added Talkback button for 18i20. Tap once to toggle Talkback on or off. Press and hold to latch Talkback on. New layout to make room for Talkback control. Minor graphics fixes for notches on new devices. Removed remote control of alternate monitor switching for 18i20 and 18i8.
