Control the Eleven Rack from an iPad/Android Tablet - Video

[Benoni]

Howdy, so I've made a video where I am controlling the Eleven Rack from a Kindle Fire (android tablet). You can see the 11R on-screen editor on your tablet device and make changes just as you would using a mouse from your desktop/laptop.

Sadly, this is not a standalone Eleven Rack editor, but an app that lets you control and see your desktop/laptop from your tablet. Even though a standalone application would be best, this is still pretty cool.

The app is called Splashtop, and is compatible with iOS and Android.

If this piques your interest, check out the video on youtube:

This is exactly what the Chimp was hinting and asking opinions on a few weeks back, with regard to an iPad/11R standalone editor.

I don't think it was theChimp asking that question but someone else by the name of "Max" - just of the top of my head.

I almost jumped out of my chair when I saw the title of Benoni's vid pop up in my 'Subscription Box' - I was thinking he has cracked a way to control the 11R without having to load ProTools . Unfortunately, no, but maybe someone at Avid will sit up and take notice. Still really cool though .

You're cheating!

Seriously though, this is a very practical way to remotely control your 11r. I don't see any real benefit for Avid to come up with drivers to directly connect 11r to mobile/tab devices, and write the programming for an editor. Using screen sharing in this manner makes way more sense to me. Sure, you can't save/manipulate directly to/from the tab but how important is that really? Not very, to me.

Sweet!

Yeah, its pretty cool. Not as great as a standalone app "could" be, but completely usable.

On the plus side, by using a screen sharing app instead of a standalone app, you are not limited to controlling just the 11R. You can also make adjustments to Pro Tools, and plugins, and anything else on your computer - all within one app.

i have used vcontrol for this for awhile now. if you have an ipad you should check it out. i use it to mix headphone sends in the tracking room, kit piece mapping on bfd 2 when i am at the kit, can track acoustic guitars in my tracking room on my own and have complete control, can easily do anything w eleven rack. the pro tools integration is top notch, and a lot nicer than just a screen copy of your monitors.
