Ah, I see. 
Hm. well, I do think that connecting via the iC Pro app could be easier, YES! But I also think I don’t want to be on the internet when I record.
Maybe there is a way with Ney-fi to setup a network that doesn’t involve the internet? There probably is.
FWIW, I am starting to get frustrated with Win7 and Administrator rights and the creating of private networks. It is easier to do what you are doing than it is to create an internal, in-house network that connects easily. I can get things to work, yes, but Win7 just fights you. Ha, maybe Steinberg will improve on iC Pro someday. Either that or give some better instructions. And the thing is, the keyboard is a better controller of Cubase, it’s just that it seems pretty cool to use a remote device. I need to step away from candy bowl.
