Quick poll: Who actually uses the iPad docked?

<< < (2/3) > >>

I have ipad 2 locked in and use my ipad 3 in a holder at the side displaying the FX levels and if i go mobile i take it with me. If I make a recording on the ipad 2 I just down load it via wifi so there is no need for it to ever leave the dl1608. I did do I gig in Spain at a fiesta last year and at  the time i had my ipad 3 docked and my ipad 2 in the holder. It was summer in very hot conditions and the docked ipad displayed a temperature warning about  half way into the gig and I was unable to use the ipad until it cooled down.... Thank god for the second ipad set up. This has only ever happened once and I do stress it was a very hot gig.  If I happen to use the ipad 3 docked I make sure I turn the screen brightness down to half, as I have noticed on full brightness the 3 runs hotter then the 2. I can tell you that on that hot summers day when the ipad went down my bum did some serious twitching !

Abbagain a good thing to get is a reflector. Like a sunshade used in a car windshield. I have play many gigs in the hot Florida summer sun and unfortunately sometimes the sun hits my board. I just grab my sunshade and put it over the top of my board and it makes a huge difference. I had my presonus in the sun once and when I went to pick it up and almost burned my hands. That's when I decided to grab my sunshade. Just placed it on top and the board stayed cool to the touch. This works for the iPad too. Especially the black ones.

Sam, what app do you use for lyrics?

LeeSteel:
I have one docked at all times in the DL. I also have a second iPad2 that performs double duty, Luminair and walk around remote for DL.

musicman7722:
Only for charging though with jerry Lees suggestion about mixing with it I may just leave it docked.
