LS9 StageMix - US

I am such a fan of this app. It has single handily made the LS9 so much easier to mix on. I love the HA gain, and scene memory. I’d love to be able to access the EQ library, and add support for the split view feature on the iPad.

After installing the newest update, I have had an issue with the entire piece of hardware crashing shortly after accessing the new dynamics features which are new in this update. Once, the pad even locked up to the point where I couldn't even turn off the device. But in every case, the iPad had to be completely restarted in order for stage mix to open back up after a crash. I do like the new features that were added, but I believe there may be some sort of memory leak. I'm very busy on the surface but I have never experienced these types of lock ups prior to the latest update on the iPad. It would be helpful for the software folks to look into what might be causing this. One more feature that I would like to see would be an update which would allow two or more devices to be connected to the LS9 console simultaneously. Other than my little issue, good stuff! Thanks to the folks at Yamaha for all the hard work!

If I were Yamaha I would have banned whomever designed this app to work on any company, not only has no flow of work but it is unreliable, seriously , the physical mixer is great , but this app is total garbage. This kind of app has to be designed by somebody that works in the live sound industry or at least common sense of organization skill.

This is a great app, but it would be nice to see a few things added. First, a tab to have access to the custom fader layer just like the 1-32 and 33-64 tabs. Second: Controls for the dynamics. Third: in regards to the fader setup( 1-8, 9-16, 17-24 etc), what about adding a side scrolling feature using the iPad gestures technology to navigate through the faders? Lastly, this may be a wish list item, but could you add a way to listen to (cue)and talkback to the performers via plugging into the iPad headphone port. That would be SOOOO cool!!;). It would really make my day if ANY of these changes came true!!!!;).

I can almost run a complete show now. I can mix house and monitors, adjust eq, fire playbacks via the onboard mp3 plyer, however, communication is slow using that method. The only way to do it is to attach the song to scene change and switching back and forth you have to wait for re-sync. Life would be much better if this app had access to firing the "user defined keys". That would give you a lot more power. It would be nice to have that feature in Studio Manager and Editor as well.
