Fantastic - when it works – Remote Control For Sound Byte Cart Machine Program Review

This is, basically, a remote control interface for the Sound Byte sound board/cart machine running on a computer. Via your wireless network you can play sounds loaded into your Sound Byte rack(s). The Sound Byte program just has to be running on the PC. It doesn't even have to have focus. For features and usability, I give this program 5 stars. I subtract two for instability. The Good: - Seamless interface with the PC - What you see on the PC, you see on the iPad - Changes to colors, labels, etc. are immediately reflected on the iPad - Simple touch-and-play interface - Great alternative to hot-key mapping The bad: - After playing less than 5 or so sounds, the buttons stop working. It's like an IR remote with weak batteries. - Have to relaunch if it becomes unresponsive - Sometimes have to kill it in the quick launch on relaunch because it won't reconnect to the PC - Crashes frequently I tried using it during a podcast last night. I had to restart it at least a dozen times (or more) and missed several queues. Fix the stability issues and you've got yourself a 5-star interface.
