Air Display anyone? (iPad as 2nd monitor)
Air Display anyone? (iPad as 2nd monitor)
Hey I just found that app to use an iPad as 2nd monitor:
https://avatron.com/applications/air-display/
I'm wondering if is usable with Live and if there's some strange or impossible tasks to do with it.
If you have it let us know! Seems interesting...

I explored it and it's not half as useful as something like Touchable

...the version i had (that was roughly 2 years ago) was buggy, slow and also made my computer feel sluggish...in the end it was one of the first apps i deleted completely from my ipad...touchable is the way to go!...

Maybe could be useful for simple tasks like adjust volumes/pan and launching clips?
Touchable is complete but I had a lot of compatibility issues with windows and I obtained the refund of my purchase.

You'd be be better off with a touchscreen computer. Only to discover that Live doesn't really have many advantages with touchscreen.
All the controls would be very small on your ipad. The volume controls, you'd only be able to control one at a time. And trying to launch clips even on a 17" screen is really really unfriendly (the play buttons on the actual clips are smaller than your finger).
Touchable or LK are the way to go for this. They are Made for touchscreen use. Or stick to using a mouse.
My touchable runs fine either wired or over wifi. Win 8.1, Live 9.1.(I always forget which Live version, not the latest, waiting on 9.2 )

Re: Air Display anyone? (iPad as 2nd monitor)
Music software developers just need to make their own touch screen controller apps. Logic and Omnisphere have their proprietary controller apps with dead simple setup. I think some other music software does as well. You can use the iPad/iPhone version of Traktor with NI’s hardware, although more like an external deck and not to control the desktop version of Traktor. I’m surprised Ableton hasn’t done this yet since they are so focused on performance, but then again, they did give us “just do it yourself” M4L.
Re: Air Display anyone? (iPad as 2nd monitor)
If they made a touch mode in their software, they wouldn't necessarily need apps. Or, screen extensions could theoretically work better (well, except for the fact that screen extension apps still act frustratingly as simple mouse gestures when being used, and do not act in any way as an extension of touch parameters in the actual OS).
With Touchable being out, Ableton simply does not to make a control app. And if it not being available on android devices is an issue, LK is a very well thought out alternative.
So basically, the Live software is So inspiring that it is the first program that developers look to for controlling in new ways. And it is also exciting enough that new these apps quickly create a strong following.
Maybe Live 10 will have some cool shit to make all of this easier. I'd see it as a pretty expensive undertaking and a major upgrade.

Will be interesting to see, especially now that DAW like Studio One are fully touch friendly.

I Do kind of need another audio interface ...
Lots of Live-similar features and that scratchpad looks handy. Plus, their own app in the works haha

Live and Studio One are the two DAWs I use the most these days. They each have a slightly different focus, but work amazing.

I'm not sure if this matters but for a nice 2nd display that works without lag go for "duet" developed by some ex Apple engineers, I use it with touchable switching between for more options whilefilter_7 wrote:Hey I just found that app to use an iPad as 2nd monitor:

The scratch pad is awesome, even for someone like me that uses Studio One to mix Live-arranged songs.yur2die4 wrote:Checked their What's New out.Tarekith wrote:Will be interesting to see, especially now that DAW like Studio One are fully touch friendly.

Checked Duet and would be nice as 2nd display; could you confirm that it works with usb cable only?sashazane wrote: I'm not sure if this matters but for a nice 2nd display that works without lag go for "duet" developed by some ex Apple engineers, I use it with touchable switching between for more options while
Arranging etc.
This would be the only reason to choose Air Display instead (I'm on Win7 32).
Re: Air Display anyone? (iPad as 2nd monitor)
yes it's usb only. i've installed virtual wifi monitors in the past that were unusable due to the network connectivity (even in ad hoc mode)filter_7 wrote:Checked Duet and would be nice as 2nd display; could you confirm that it works with usb cable only?sashazane wrote: I'm not sure if this matters but for a nice 2nd display that works without lag go for "duet" developed by some ex Apple engineers, I use it with touchable switching between for more options while
