That's what I was saying buy a SECOND ipad...jeez they are cheap enough now...I can get a decent s/h one out here for about $275 if you are patient enough - I even think and iPAd 1 will run on that Mackie box..

I have been musing on a second iPad for a while now...but now Microsoft have release details of the Surface to run with Windows 8, I might hold off, get one of those and load up vArranger on it...I will be avoiding the RT version of W8 though...

But it (the Mackie) could have been better designed I agree totally...
