Sucks that I have three iPads that I really can't use without something else to access the missing functionality :( .

For this reason, I broke down this week and got a Dell Inspiron 11 "2 in 1" so I could have full control in a tablet format. On sale at Staples for $299 instead of the usual $449. Swapped the spinner HD for an SSD and maxed the RAM out at 8GB instead of the stock 4GB. It's pretty peppy though the screen is a bit small for running X-Air edit.

So, I finally had a gig a week back that pushed me to considering another 16-channel digital mixer. The X18/XR18 is the most likely candidate for me, as the price is decent and the features are compelling. But, that said, I'm confused about the WiFi situation. The inbuilt WiFi router only supports 4 devices, according to the specs. If I use my external WiFi router, can it more clients be supported? A max of four devices is kind of a deal breaker, as I regularly work with 5-piece bands where each player handles their own monitor mixes, and I usually have two devices running for the main mix (one in use, one as a backup).

^ I don't think there is an iPhone app yet?
And why are you thinking about moving way from the DL1608?

No, there's not. I can live with that -- I have two old HTC Thunderbolts that I can stick new batteries in and use, and Android tablets are really cheap (I can get "good enough" tablets for under U$50). It also seems that the iPad app will run on pretty much any iPad made, as long as it can run iOS 5.0.1. Surprisingly, the "full mixer" app for the XR mixers look almost usable on the Thunderbolt (the screen on the T-bolt is only a smidge smaller than an iPhone 6s) -- at least almost everything can be "touched" from the phone if need be, unlike the Mackie.

Probably for similar reasons that we did. Time flies when you're having fun. :)
