Hi Chaps,

I do a lot of live sound work, and do a lot of smaller jobs, which I want to be able to do without the need for my larger desks, as my smallest desk is 16 channels, which for some events is too large.

Does anyone have experience with using any applications for Mac, with an interface that will allow me to mix via my Macbook?

I know of Allen and Heath iLive, however wanted to ask if anyone else knew of any good applications.

Thanks in advance.

To be honest. If I were mixing with the equipment it sounds like you might already have, I would weigh up where I feel the hardware is falling short and go from there. Whether it's hardware or software, I would still NOT want to be pushing a mouse around to adjust a level when a guitar player or a singer or a tom was overpowering the mix. It's slow and potentially unreliable as when an analogue desk fails, it usually a noisy pot or fader. When a computer dumps, it's gig off for too long..

Just an opinion..
