Re: question about new audio interface for travelling purposes and good microphone suggestions
If memory serves correct it looks like the iOS app had everything that was in the main app. I never tried to route outputs or anything like that as by the time the iOS app came out Focusrite had already saved some presets for me so I had no need to try it in the app. I also had the 8PreX which is a 2 rackspace unit and has alot more physical hardware buttons than the rest of the Clarett line. This ment the only thing i needed the app for most of the times was switching the preamp between normal and air mode.

Re: question about new audio interface for travelling purposes and good microphone suggestions
The process of taking screen shots of the controls in various states, creating multi-stage macros which verify the state of controls and give speech feedback of the state of those controls and testing those macros, adjusting them, etc. takes a lot of time and I guarantee that Focusrite will not hang out for hours while this is taking place. Grabbing a few coordinates isn't enough. The solution itself is feasible but would take a bunch of work. It's more realistic to rely on local sighted assistance that you can access a couple of times throughout the process. I'm willing to help with the process but anyone wanting to take it on needs to understand exactly how the software works, what's going on visually and should expect that it'll take a bunch of time. > On Sep 14, 2017, at 4:34 AM, TheOreoMonsterwrote: > > Yes I have had Focusrite support remote in and set up Focusrite Control, and > pair the iOS app. Also saved presets for different scenarios I was likely to > use before the iOS app was available.

Re: question about new audio interface for travelling purposes and good microphone suggestions
How extensive is the Focusrite iOS app? Is it very basic or does it offer enough parameters to get by with only using the app and not bothering with the control software?

Re: question about new audio interface for travelling purposes and good microphone suggestions
Yes I have had Focusrite support remote in and set up Focusrite Control, and pair the iOS app. Also saved presets for different scenarios I was likely to use before the iOS app was available.

Well if you had the Focusrite hardware you could then call technical support.
