iLive MixPad

Please update this app for iOS 10 because it started losing connection once I upgraded. Also very complicated to use in real situation. Please make it like the one for the QU series.

Lemme start by saying the iLive is the Best digital board I have every used. I love it. This app. Well it leaves a lot to be desired. 1. The user interface is not intuitive at all. This is the worst mixing app I have ever used. Look at the presonus app to see what a digital interface should look like. Especially how it changes when changing orientations. 2. There needs to be a way to save credentials and have the app automatically connect when I open it. 3. The app needs to remember the last view you were in. 4. The app needs to automatically reconnect if the wifi drops. Having to close the app and reopen it and log back in is too time consuming and ridiculous. Networks drop at times, especially wifi. We need to automatically reconnect. If number 2 was done this should be easier. 5. The app lacks the ability to adjust effects. That is just plain dumb. Why can't I walk in an audience and actually adjust what the effects sound like? This is a must have feature. 6. The app lacks the ability to do scene recall. Seriously, a digital board in this range with no scene recall. Note. The surface allows for scene recall. The app does not. That's all I can think of for now. I really hope AH fixes this. There are some other areas that the surface could be improved as well. AH please feel free to contact me to give you some real world expectations. This will likely be my last Allen Heath purchase due to the lack of response in fixing this. This was the flagship digital board when I purchased it. I was promised that these issues would be addressed. Now it is discontinued and I doubt any work will be done on it. I am so disgusted that this will likely be the last AH purchase or recommendation I ever make. So sad that a company ignores its once very loyal customers.

This app is not very stable and is not usable as a stand alone. I purchased my iLive mixrack with hopes of controlling it with the app alone and no surface. I mix on my MBP which is not very mobil vs the iPad. The mixrack sounds great but I am strongly considering going back to a Presonus SL2442 because its app is super stable. I would pass on this especially when they are asking $100 for app when all other iPad remote mix apps are free. I paid the $100 and regret it ever since. Being a IT guy during the day trust me when I say I have tried everything and several different routers including A&H recommended ones.

This app has the potential to be one of the most useful tools developed for live sound events. I took it out last weekend without the iLive surface (only a laptop, mixrack and iPad) to an outdoor drama with lots of wireless body packs. The FOH had to be in a cabin behind the actors inside the fort. I setup the mixrack and laptop in the cabin and took the iPad outside in the audience and mixed where I could actually see and hear the actors. It worked beautifully...at first. The app is amazing as far as control and we had to do very little on the laptop itself. However, about 45 minutes into the first act, the app said "app out of memory" and shut down. It did fire right back up (after rebooting for about three minutes) and worked nearly flawlessly after that. All in all I think it is a very good and well thought out app that just has a few minor glitches. I hope the developers will fix those in an update soon. I am going to try it again at a large Christian Youth event again this weekend....we'll see how it goes!

This app is great! It's a mixing engineers' dream! To everyone using the app, if your iPad gets the message "out of memory" it's because you have multiple apps running at one time. (double click your home button and close out all unnecessary apps) Also, it's suggested that you use a 5 GHz router. This as been tested in an Arena at 600 ft. and it worked perfectly. Other routers will get interference with other wireless signals at the location.
