CQ MixPad

Black out. Do not work

The app is very convoluted, not intuitive at all and has many bugs. I tried to use it for 2 months, and eventually switched to Mixing Station.

Works pretty well though it does take a while to get familiar with how things are arranged among all the modes and tabs. I’ll get used to it. Virtual rotary controls are pretty awkward and imprecise though. My finger gets in the way of seeing what I’m doing and fine adjustments can be difficult. It almost always moves a little when I lift my finger. Slider controls are easier to use with precision. I really wish I could double tap on any numerical value I see to edit as a text field with the keyboard. This would help tons on the rotary controls, but honestly adding to sliders and the PEQ values would be great as well. I notice the desktop app also doesn’t use the keyboard which seems like an even bigger UX miss. I am using it with the CQ20-B so this app is my only interface

I don’t get the bad reviews. The app works great on my old non M1 iPad Pro.

I was compelled to write a fine review to offset all the negative ones. It nearly perfectly mirrors the unit’s interface. The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is some extremely minor bugs and that the unit itself lacks some obvious software features (groups - why would you have groups in the monitor app but not this app??? Seems like an easy fix). Workflow could be extremely enhanced if the large encoder could we used to cycle through channels.

Cannot use older iPads for this app. Total disappointment.

App is design by a developer with zero audio engineering experience
