We invented mixer control via iPad®. Since then, millions of events, concerts, and studio sessions have been mixed remotely thanks to our boundary-pushing engineers. We put all our expertise and experience into designing the most intuitive and powerful remote-mixing software in the industry, and UC Surface is the result. Designed to provide immediate access to everything you need when controlling your mix, while being instantly familiar, UC Surface will revolutionize the way you mix—from the audience perspective, where it matters most. More than mixer control, UC Surface is also integrated with Universal Control for select PreSonus Audio Interfaces, allowing you to access key controls wirelessly from your tablet when you’re away from your computer. Compatible hardware includes: StudioLive Series III console and rack mixers Revelator-series microphones and interfaces Studio 1810, 1810c, 1824, and 1824c audio interfaces Quantum-series interfaces Studio 192-series interfaces Note: StudioLive AI and RM mixers should still continue to work as usual in this app, but are no longer officially supported. No further work is planned for the AI mixer series in this app. Read on to discover what UC Surface can do for your PreSonus hardware! StudioLive Series III mixers UC Surface grants you touch-control of your complete mix, plus: dynamics, EQ control, effects, monitor mixes, DCA groups, and even AVB networking and routing. You also get control of deeper features like Scenes, Projects, and granular permission control—including max output level limit! Get control of your StudioLive Series III mix from the audience perspective, where it matters most. Studio-series audio interfaces For owners of Studio 1810, 1810c, 1824, and 1824c audio interfaces, UC Surface offers powerful zero-latency hardware-based monitor control; everything you need to create high-quality monitor mixes and more. Revelator-series microphones and interfaces Get complete touch-control of your Revelator product’s gain, presets, scenes, Fat Channel processing settings, and loopback mixer. Great for when you need to make adjustments during a podcast or livestream and can’t switch applications on your desktop workstation. Quantum-series interfaces For Quantum-series interface owners, UC Surface offers you remote preamp control (on supported models) and a real-time analyzer. Studio 192-series audio interfaces Get control of your Studio 192 interface’s Fat Channel DSP, sparing your CPU some clock cycles by offloading effects processing to the interface. You can also create high-quality monitor mixes, as well as control preamp gain, speaker switching, plus main-mix mono and dim functions. System Requirements Supported: - Compatible with iPad running iOS 11.4 or later Control of supported mixers requires that the mobile device running be connected to the same wireless network as a StudioLive Series III mixer. Control of supported PreSonus audio interfaces and USB microphones requires that the mobile device be connected to the same wireless network as a computer running Universal Control for macOS and Windows, with the audio interface or USB microphone connected to the computer.
Great when it works
It’s great when it works but it definitely has its issues connecting at times
Stupid
Very clumsy. Too many things on the page at once, and too difficult to return to the mix page. Things that are related are not grouped together. Silly images for the effects, but no way to put a useful image on each channel. Rotary controls on a touch screen are stupid. Sliders are much more comfortable and useful. Whoever wrote this app has never run a sound system, that’s all I can say.
Amazing workflow
I won’t update my iPad for fear of losing functionality of this Brilliant app. I still use 2 rm16ai’s with an avb at my studio. This app has been a complete pleasure over the last 4 years. You allowed me to instantly switch to any settings I want for any scenario at the press of a button. You best believe I will keep my FireWire rig going. And there are many just like me that invested thousands into Presonus that are doing the same. Keeping their FireWire alive no matter what it takes. Do us OG’s a solid and keep the updates flowin! We still want to use our killer Presonus gear!
Best mixer app
I’ve used them all and this is the fastest and most intuitive app of any mixer. The permissions are great and really make it easy to avoid confusion. A++++!
Crash
App need some new update it keeps crashing
Connection to iPads is unreliable
Not the Wi-Fi. That works great. After rescanning a thousand times it connected on 2/3. But not the sound guy’s of course.
Ouch
