Excellent app
BuzzySmith
A no brainer to install. Works great. It allows me to play and record the piano or B3 (upstairs-studio desk is downstairs) with visual confirmation that I'm actually in "record". Highly recommended. Hopefully, an iPad version will be available soon...it has been a year and a half!
DP Control - My Most Trustworthy App
MyHomeStudioDrumRecording
DP Control - Where have you been? And why weren't you developed sooner? ;-) Makes it SO EASY to record drums via my iPhone 4S! Don't have to mess with running long 50 foot USB or monitor cables into the drum room to connect a separate monitor or keyboard or mouse... Don't have to worry about losing a bluetooth mouse or keyboard connection trying bring those into the drum room... Don't have to worry about walking/running back and forth between takes (although that's decent exercise too :-D). Although I agree with other users that I wish I wouldn't have to keep reestablishing a DP Control connection if I have to come out of the app in order to text or make a phone call, etc., it's only a minor inconvenience. No big deal... Thanks so much MOTU!!! A must have app!!! It just plain works... :-)
iPad is lacking

This app works exactly as advertised, but it needs a big update to be truly useful on an iPad. The screen is optimized for iPhone so the faders are tiny and there's very few of them on screen at once. This could be a really cool tool in the studio. Right now it is just an iPhone novelty for DP.
Incongruent development

This app is for iPhone, but the new cuemix app is only for iPad? That doesn't even make any sense. One would think it'd be the other way around, It's just a mixer control. Dp is way more complicated. Who's gonna by an iPad for added mixer control? Just add midi control and that's all you need to start. All these other levels of control could be added on top of the simple control structure. Everyone has an iPhone/ iPod touch. Why not make an app for the device everyone has? Unless motu doesnt understand their average user/ customer...
Great for mixing from floor!!

As a worship leader, I am frequently running in and out of the worship center launching and mixing FOH loops generating from DP by our drummer in the drum booth. Yeah, so during the week when it's just me it was launch, run to floor, strings too loud, run back to booth, adjust mix, run back to floor, strings too low, (repeat-pass out). NOW with DP Control: link laptop in booth with same Wifi as iPhone, walk to floor, launch sequence, go to "mixer" and mix right there on the floor, starting and stopping and switching sequences from there! Love it!
CRASHES!

Although this works on my tiny iPHONE4s - the App crashes like clockwork every time on the mixer window on my new iPAD Air IOS8 ….very frustrating . Motu customer service offered 0 help or news on an update. In addition to an update , a more complete iPAD controller or even DP DAW for iPAD would be much more desired than a transport only control. Don't get me wrong , I love DP and the boys , but this one is frustrating!
Appears to be abandoned

Too bad, this was useful and could have continued to be. Completely broken on ios 8 afaict.
Almost Perfect...

This has replaced my Frontier Transport. Great free app. My only wish? An undo button, or one assignable key command. The primary use of something like this is to use it remotely. I use it from my drumset, and from my vocal booth. I have to go back to the computer every time I need to undo a take, and do another. Please make an undo button!!!!
CRASHES needs a good update

App works ... but when you go from Tracks to Mixer it will crash at times. I found if i tap the mixer slowly ( holding my finger on the mixer button) instead of touching it fast the program will not crash. Another annoying issue is you have to keep going to settings everytime you open DP control ot assign an internet connection to your computer. The motu readme files say DP Control is supposed to learn that for you on the first time you connect......but it doesnt !! ...too many bugs !!
