So last night, I really needed to my MixPad to allow me to set up and change levels for this band that Ive had no prior info on and has just arrived for their slot in this festival-style show.
I’m in the Processing view on MixPad with my input channels showing. But the channels I want to change are all off screen. So I click and hold in the channels’ pane and keep pressing down and dragging with one finger.
BUT instead of scrolling the channels, my action changes the volume fader of the channel I first clicked I think.
This what I would have expected had I clicked on the fader strip knob and held and dragged.
Now I may have clicked on a fader knob and the app thought I was trying to set fader level. But I don’t think I did- I know not to do that unless I’m trying to set level.
So ok.. maybe I did BUT it didn’t make any difference if I took my finger off and clicked back in to the pane- even I checked into the blank space above the channels slider or elsewhere and then clicked back in to the channels pane and did not click the volume slider it still set the volume level of channel I had clicked into.
It was very weird and I could not use the iPad which was a major pain as I was doing FOH and monitor.
Has anybody else seen this? Is there a trick to get the app working again?
I probably should have restated the app but I was so stressed with frustrated band in front of me on the stage and impatient crowd behind me wanting to dance that it didn’t occur to me to just restart..
