Pat One « Very satisfied »
Published on 10/31/11 at 20:27The software installation was simple but I encountered a few glitches that I solved by reading their FAQ on their site. Before purchasing this software I checked the app IC Steinberg Cubase working with my setup to not have surprises Wifi side.
I work with Cubase 5.5 on Windows 7 64bit and an iPad 2. I tried TouchOSC just before but I could not get it to work, too many settings, you had to use Pure Data and noon Yoke and I catch nothing this stuff.
By following the steps many of the manual and the FAQ of the publisher's site, V-Control installs easily enough, I had to download a redistributable Microsoft and disable the Bluetooth option in the iPad and it worked well .dropoff window
The connection ipad / PC is done by wifi and it works pretty well, it's quite responsive ipad well cubase driver and changes in cubase are well reflected in the iPad.
V-control essentiellemnt allows to control the mixer in Cubase, transport fontions, automation, inserts, EQ, send etc. The only downside is that v-control protocol uses the Hui and it is not very practical especially for controlling plugins but doable although the accuracy leaves something to be desired. In terms of automation of the faders is quite responsive, precise touch and responds well, but I have to get used to working with the touch screen of the iPad. As against the pan are not super accurate, I do not see me do a whole mix with it alone, rather it comes in addition to keyboard and mouse.
Overall this app includes the functionality of a BCF 2000 Mackie control mode but with a little more ease. This is a very good alternative to a hardware controller or the Alphatrack BCF type, that is not perfect, I hope there will be improvements on the implementation of certain functions, but it is fairly comprehensive, it works rather well and the wireless side is quite convenient.
Cheap but compared to the price of a real controller, it's not that expensive, and I think it's better than BCF 2000 (touch automation features dedicated to Cubase). The version for Protools looks a little more successful than Cubase however.
