Ardroid and Mixbus - ttoine - 10-28-2013
Hey,
I just found this interesting howto about how to use and Android app "Ardroid" to remote control Ardour.

Do you know if it would work with Mixbus ?
RE: Ardroid and Mixbus - Ben@Harrison - 10-28-2013
Ardroid was developed for Ardour v3, which has a lot more controls available.
But a quick comparison of the code for Mixbus and A3 says that yes, transport controls and the basic track features ( record, mute, solo ) in Ardroid should work.
Although I have several Android devices, I must admit I haven't tried it yet. Please tell us if you have any success!

There is a second question about that: how to optimize the workstation so that network is not a performance problem when recording. (On Linux, I mean)

The performance should not be any problem at all on the workstation side, unless you have a very bad USB network card or a problem; it's more likely that the phone will be the bottle neck. Neither MIDI or OSC should be able to generate so much data that they strangles you network.

Ok, thanks for your answer. It's just that when wifi is activated, I have more xrun. I maybe should try with ethernet.

That could be due to your motherboard's bus & interrupt structure (for example your soundcard & wifi might be sharing an interrupt), or it might be a problem in your OS. Wifi and sound "shouldn't" interrupt each other.
