Control ST3 on ipad from iphone
Damir Nice looking surface! Yes, I use network, as well. 5g is cleaner and faster but not good for distance, 2.4 is good for distance but is a little slower and it is a busy WiFi frequency. I am so glad you got it going so quickly. I don’t understand why I got thumbs down on my vid other than I blow through it pretty fast or I use another app in addition to ST3. Nevertheless, it feels good to help! You seem very tech savvy.
howifeel above all, thank you for the video!
Now unfortunately I do not have the acces to see the iPad when I use the iPhone so this is not solving my issue. I'm looking rather mirroring the ST3 somehow.
Your idea is super nice, but I cannot see the playlist on my iPhone or scroll thru the songs, I mean I could with the next/previous but I have 100 songs in one list..
Do you have maybe any ideas on how can I see the list I have on my iPad, but looking on the phone?
Thx and again, congrats for the idea!

howifeel I would need to dig into that as I have no idea what an IEM is. But this week end I will try with bluetooth, to see how the latency is behaving...
Thx a lot for the input and ideas ideas

howifeel I have used IEM for many years, and every now and then I get disturbances, spikes of noise or white noise. I would never trust reversing the intended signal flow, going to my mix and PA. And no, they have not been cheap systems. Shure and Sennheiser.
howifeel hahaha, of course I know what in ear monitor is and how its working, but abbreviated was just not clinking in my mind. ahaha. super funny.
And funny enough, I was looking at exactly the same topic when opening this forum. I'm looking now at NUX b-7 psm, but honestly it would be nice to have more ideas. Is there any other option that is stereo and you know about it?
I would pay, it does not matter is is expensive, just to be sure that the signal is not dropping!
Lets see, maybe we find other ideas!
Cheers,

royandreno that is good to know... I had the same feeling somehow, I used a shure years ago, playing some gigs on big stage, never had issues with that, but somehow i don't trust it..
Thx
Tavilazar I came across a Sennheiser device for home use that runs on RF signal and is virtually zero latency (almost).

I have used this and it works well though I went with another system…
Well, ive been thinking of the same.
Right now i’m using my 11’’ iPad Pro on the floor for lyrics, while the phone is my main source for stereo backing tracks via airplay. Not quite ideal.
If there only was an app extention for the phone that contained only the song list that would trigger the ipad remotly (like the ipad being the main unit with the phone being the «control surface» for Stage Traxx on the ipad).
That would fix everything for me!!
This solution would make a more solid playback solution possible from the wired iPad Pro as well as being my lyrics prompter. Controlled only by the phone barely visible for the audience
Version 4 will have remote control capabilities.
peter no disrespect, but how long do we still have to wait? I know it’s a lot of work to implement all the stuff you want to do, and it takes time, but for those that need certain functionality now, I would encourage to keep looking for ways to get things accomplished, until that glorious day when ST4 is released. I am certainly looking forward to the day!

metamorfosis18 pretty sure it’s a complete rebuild, therefore there’s no way to currently add remote functionality to the current version, I say this as someone who is also waiting on this feature and possibly one of the first to suggest it a long time ago

As long as it takes, I rather get an improvement on ST3 than just a different version , Apple is very good at that , but Peter is not , thank goodness.
The other thing that often occurs across major versions is that the 'internals' of the app are re-written, updated, etc. Apple releases new frameworks every year that provide more feature, capabilitiy, performance, reliability (lol! well, maybe...) and Peter will be evaluating which of these he updates from ST3 to ST4. And it's not like upgrading the RAM or GPU on your PC where you just take the old one out and slot the new one in. You usually also need to update the code in your app that interfaces with these frameworks.
Then you have to test everything, because there's never only 1 way to do anything, and what Apple document may not necessary work, or work as expected.
Yes, it's a lot of 'under the hood' stuff that we don't actually see most of in the final shiny product, but it is necessary. To not do it, means keeping older and older code. Even if it worked reliably now, that doesn't mean it will work as expected with the next iOS/MacOS update. So by updating the code, Peter is also trying to futureproof as much of the app as possible, for as long as possible.
Developers also need to make hard calls on when to stop adding new features to a current, stable version of a product. Especially when they are already working on the next version. Every time Peter has to go back and change ANY code in ST3, there is a risk of introducing new issues (regressions). To add a new feature compounds that risk significantly. It may not even be possible without making significant changes to other parts of the code base which again compounds the risk. So as frustrating as it can be to us users, the absolute right thing to do is to stop adding any new functionality to ST3, and only fix major bugs. Also, all that time could be spent on working on ST4, where that same feature we want has been factored in from the start and will likely take less time and effort to implement. So, where do we want Peter spending his finite time? I think most of us would be saying on ST4.
Being a developer can be thankless. Everything takes too long according to your customers and management. Vendors don't document stuff properly. Stuff doesn't work as expected, or sometimes even as documented.
