Can ipad bring more accessibility to our mac DAW?

[Ramy Moustafa]

Hello all musicians:
Someone is selling his Ipad mini in a very low price. and I need to
ask you if ipad will bring any extra accessibility to our mac and pro
tools? by connecting it to mac via USB or something?

thanks for your help

Absolutely not.

Ricky, what makes you say this?

I'm not trying to be rude, but frankly, there are some apps I've seen out
there that actually help with making interfaces, and even control surfaces
more accessible. Not only this, but what about those people who do drum
loops, or what not. There are some I O S IPad apps that can really really
help with this too. I don't personally care for them, but that doesn't mean
that they can't be used. What about certain digital pianos? I have a
Roland RP401R rosewood digital piano, and there is an IPad app that Roland
makes which helps with menipulating some of the settings that normally I'd
have to go into menus to get at. This way I can control the unit easier
remotely. What about if you have your DAW going through a surround sound
theator system. What if that receiver it's going through is like mine and
isn't very accessible on the out front of things? Then, you use an app that
is! accessible like the Yamaha AV Controler, to control the receiver
instead. What about people just getting started with audio, who might be
using Garageband still for the time being? There are things you can do
between the mac and the IPad, and now even the IPhone 6 and 6 Plus, on that
note.

I think I remember hearing that some apps are even made where if you get the
right hardware, you plug the IPad into the hardware, which is then fed to a
mixer or whatever, and gives you all sorts of hundreds upon hundreds of
different guitar amp simulators/modelers.

So, I'm sorry, Ricky. I strongly! strongly strongly! disagree with you on
this one! I think the IPad is a wonderful! wonderful! tool to have in the
studio for many different reasons.

Please do your research.

Chris.

>> Are there accessible apps on the iPad that can be useful in a studio? Yes however the question that was asked was specific to Mac/ProTools and using the iPad in that context.

"I need to

In the case of the question asked, no accessibility gains are there to be had by using the iPad with ProTools that you can’t easily do in the box on the mac.

Well, excuse me for trying to help. Smile.

Sheesh!

I think that's what Papa was trying to do when you told him to "do his research>"

I was going to check out DAW Remote by Xiao Yixiyang for iPad and iPhone.

It features a transport and mixer and uses your network wifi and bluetooth.

I am interested in it because sitting in front of the computer really strains my eyes and concentration after a few hours.

Using the Zoom while sitting on the couch for play back and basic mixing could help give me eyes a rest.

No idea if it works with VoiceOver.

If I get it soon I will share my input.

[Scott Chesworth]

Keep us posted if you pick it up and can test with VoiceOver. My
experience of a few other similar apps is that even if their static
GUI is accessible, they don't seem to pass dynamic values through to
VO. Maybe DAW Remote will be one that's usable though.

Cheers

So I got myself the DAW remote. I havn't successfully syched it yet (MIDI set up still baffles me!)
The screen layout for the transport screen looks easy to use with low vision like mine.
No VoiceOver test yet.
Hopingbto have time with it this week.

Has anyone else tried anything in the meantime?
