iOS 8
Wynnd:
It's a pretty good point about ios 8 and Master Fader. ios 8 doesn't seem to have any affect on Master Fader at all and for those who don't do anything else with their ipad, it is totally unnecessary to upgrade. But if you use it elsewhere for other things, ios 8 will be hard to avoid and for me adds to my devices in very good ways.
Keyboard Magic:
From what I’ve garnered from my emails to Ben. O, they are working very hard to make sure the updated Master Fader is completely compatible with iOS 8.0.2. 8)
Regarding those "bendy iPhones" I think that if you put any modern smart phone in the back pocket of your tight jeans and sit down on it, it just might flex a wee bit. If you sat on one of the older models you might only hurt your “sit down”. :-[ But (Butt??) who wears skinny jeans now? (speaking for myself) I’m leaning towards track/buffet pants more and more as I get older. No I don’t wear them higher than my waist. Try to get that mental picture out of your head now! :lol:

I took the plunge and upgraded one iPad to IOS 8 (8.0.2) and slid it into the 1608. Worked flawlessly. But then.... I had everyone else in the group upgrade their respective iPads (one was too old to upgrade). That was a huge mistake. They keep disconnecting from the mixer and have to re-sync. Even when connected there are lags. Push up a slider, the feedback on the screen looks right, but there is no audio change so you push up a little more. Then a few seconds later it makes it to the mixer and that channel IS SCREAMING LOUD! One might think I have a wireless problem. But no, the old iPad that can't be upgraded works just fine.

What version iPads are you using? I've got a Mini with 8.0.2, and I'm not noticing any significant lag. I'm looking to pick up an extra iPad or two, and was looking at 2nd generation models because they're pretty cheap right now. Also, I understand that if you bring another app to the foreground (in my case, OnSong), when you come back to Master Fader, it is normal for the iPad to have to re-sync to the DL.

We are using 3rd & 4th generation. All with same results. Did not try a mini.
