I've been playing around with the new Vegas Pro Connect iPad app and it is really impressive. It’s surprisingly very responsive and worked well in my limited testing. You can swipe to skim the timeline and drop markers and get really precise control like a jog/shuttle would give you. There are instructions when you start, the transport looks great, the gesture pad is almost like my Mac trackpad and the timecode readout on top makes it really easy to be precise. This is really a nice addition to editing with Vegas Pro.

I LOVE IT!!! :-D

BTW, I started using it with my right hand but I'm actually using it now with my left hand now where my Shuttle Pro normally is (sorry shuttle).

For those of you without an iPad consider this... I paid $149 for my FaderPort and another $99 for my Shuttle Pro and for that same $250 you can get an iPad mini that does all that and so much more. Dedicated hardware control surfaces are quickly being replaced by virtual surfaces on tablets. These are real exiting times!

What do others who've tried it think?
