Dumb question - Cubase 7.5.20 running on a PC … do I need an Android table to communicate with it when I run Cubase iC Pro, or can it be an iPad (i.e., mixing Mac and PC in this way)?
Do you actually tell people that on the product page? NO.
So how are we supposed to know what size device to get to show the detail on the picture on the product page. Do we have to be psychic now? (If we were all that good, we wouldn’t need to ask questions on the forum, would we?)
Up until now, we pretty well knew what was a tablet and what was a phone, and that there was a pretty clear delineation of app design and detail shown for each of those. People’s expectations of what to expect had been pretty well set. There are even two manuals, depending upon whether its used on a phone (actually iPhone) or tablet (iPad).
So what does SB do when it comes to Android? Make up an arbitrary AND UNPUBLISHED size point at which the app switches. Strangely, only 0.9" smaller than an iPad mini and its suddenly a phone app. 7" is NOT a small device, especially compared to an iPad mini, but it is big compared to EVERY phone out there! Why did the iPad mini get it?
I just bought a Nexus 7", only to find that it gave just the same amount of detail as my Note 3, which presumably gives the same level of detail as on a iPhone 3gs. That is absurd. I would like to at least see a big timecounter and transport buttons with the overview and some rows of buttons, even if I have to use my Note 3 for my cue mix.
There ought to be some user selectivity of level of detail (you do it for the mixer channel widths), so that we can have the control-size versus detail-level that suits each individual.
Big and small do not cut it given the range of sizes of devices, from 3.5" to 12"+. Four or five gradations would be better.
Also, why are the buttons in the arrays so big, but the really important transport buttons are small (and the L and R marker ones are tiny), especially since the latter are more likely to be used much more in difficult single-handed situations, like holding the instrument you are using and leaning over it to get to the controls with the other?
If using the button arrays, one is more likely to use both hands and be at the DAW computer, since many are irrelevant unless you can see the details which they affect.
I have rarely found the word ‘fail’ applied fairly, but here I say to SB: FAIL
Thanks for this info: I’ve been here most of the day trying to get the demo Android version working on my 8" Samsung Galaxy Note 8, thinking I’ll get a scaled down full tablet version when, when my iPhone and iPod show just as much. This is a disgraceful oversight.
Even though my computer name shows up in the connection window, I am still getting “There is no host assigned to this IP address… yada yada etc” where my two Apple devices connect without issue via a commercial license.
I’m with others about this resolution issue and the phone version only showing.
Just got the Ic pro Android version for a 10.1" quad core tablet. Working perfectly…but It’s a 10.1" tablet and I have only got the phone version showing! not hapopy. Yes it’s only 1280 x 600 resolution tablet but I would like to fit so many more key commands on one page than I currently can. This is just really silly!
Come on Steinberg please change this shortly:
For me these specs are completely misleading and false.
Displays below 7" will show the phone version while displays above 7" will show the tablet version.
Another thing, why does a double click not work for re-setting a mixer channel to unity gain. Double clicking to re-set seems logical to me.
I’m running Cubase 7.5 and trying to connect to Samsung Galaxy TAB4 - and NO luck! Can’t get anything rolling here. Windows 7 cannot do a ad-hoc network and the app on the TAB4 won’t open! HELP!!
The instructions are misleading for Windows users and seem to be for Mac. Ignore the “ad-hoc” bit completely and just put in the IP address of your PC.
If it doesn’t start at all then you probably have Android 5 and you’ll have to join the beta program to get a version that will work.
