How easy is it?

For starters, connect your iPad and the DAW will recognise it as a regular Mackie Controller. Just connect via MIDI Network Session on your Mac or PC. This gives you immediate functionality over all the faders, knobs, and buttons you see on your iPad.

The controls come labeled and pre-programmed. It integrates immediately with the DAWs listed below, and it can work with others as well. 

Fear not. You’ve got this.
