WING-Q 4+

I’m a drummer that plays for many church campuses. This is one of the worst applications for IE monitoring I’ve used. The biggest problem is adjusting db levels on the fly. Holding your finger til the channel highlights before making a db adjustment with the fader is just crazy. Then the faders are way way way too small. Everyone I see that uses an application for IE monitors, are using their phones for the monitor console. Mine is a iPhone XR. If there’s settings I can adjust to fix theses issues that’s great, but my argument would be I should have to do that. Drummers while rehearsing or playing live can’t hold out on a chord while making a fast adjustment and come back in on the next measure. We need a quick slid with a finger.

Sorry to beat you up on this review, just seems like this app was not given to enough different musicians before launch date.

Looking forward to an updated version.

Wow, the app hasn’t been updated in a year and I’m guessing it doesn’t support the latest WING firmware. What a joke. I expected it to be bad and barely work, but while our console shows up, it won’t connect no matter how many times I tap it or enter the IP address manually. As disappointing as it is to have to pay for third part apps, Mixing Station is far superior to any app Music arrive has put out.

Update: I was able to connect after a few more tries. I’m willing to give it a chance, but there are a lot of problems. The faders are tiny and it only works in landscape mode. It would be great if you could have four faders while holding your phone vertically for more control. Also, you should be able to swipe between fader banks instead of hunting for a little button. The whole point of an app like this is to allow musicians to make quick adjustments on the fly, and the app should be designed with that as the priority.

The faders are very small, which makes it difficult to use.

It drains the battery very quickly and overheats the phone.

Allen & Heath’s monitor mixer app is much better. I would suggest looking at their software as one to imitate. The faders are much larger, and you can scroll through instead of having to page through fader banks.
