Hey does anyone know of any tactile mixers that can also connect to ipads?

I don’t know if your new to production or music recording, but please please don’t get an iPad. A lot of music production software is inaccessible it’s better to get a Mac and run Reaper with osara you can also do this in Windows.

Hi u/blurrygenre and also u/liamjh27.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I didn't realize that you had replied.

Depending on your budget, the PreSonus StudioLive mixers may be a good choice. Perhaps if you can send me a direct message I can get on a Skype or phone call with you to help make sure we find something that would fit your needs and budget.

As for a control surface for Logic that will control plug-ins. It's going to be a little tricky to find something that will work well that doesn't rely on screens to know what parameters you're controlling. PreSonus makes a couple different controllers that work well with Logic. SoftTube also has a really nice plug-in controller but I'm not sure how well it works with non-SoftTube plug-ins.

Totally blind and a decent enough channels. Also, i would want the mixer for both controls on iPad and mixer if that makes any sense whatsoever haha.

Oh ok thanks i’m not sure how to really use RedIt tbh lmao but that seems pretty dope and useful lmk if you end up finding it :)

I am totally blind and a decent enough channels would be good because I use a lot of tracks. Also, I’m not really sure how to answer your first question I guess both? I would want to use the mixer to be able to play back and use it for the controls on the ipad i but I would also like to use iPad to control the mixer

Seems you’ve posted this as a level 1 comment rather than to the person helping you, just so you know. I’d be interested to see what you end up getting suggested to you. I’m looking for a control service that would give me access to all the parameters of my most commonly used plugins within Logic.

What type of mixer? I know of several, I work in the audio industry and am a Product Manager for digital mixers. Do you need a multichannel mixer for studio and/or live or a DJ mixer or something else? I'll do my best to help.

Studio mixer :)

A multi-channel mixer for studio... appreciate your help bro :)
stingray_1122 1 points 2y ago
Sure thing! I have some more follow up questions, sorry :)

Are you planning to use the iPad for recording and playback of audio with the mixer or control with the mixer or both?

How many channels do you need?

Do you have any usable vision? I ask as many digital mixers these days have screens that play a big part in the workflow. I'm sighted so I don't always understand the different varieties of visual impairment but my son is blind. He has RP CRB1 and is legally blind now with some usable vision but will eventually be totally blind. I want to make sure I'm pointing you to a mixer that you'll be able to use the best.
