All that means nothing here. The phones and tablets I have don't show up in the sun. Yes the brightness is cranked. Maybe the consoles you speak of are in the shade?? Maybe they have better brightness? What does any of that have to do with running trains outside.
My blank is bigger than you blank is not what we are discussing. If you prefer the app then good for you. I use it too. I think a market will remain for the remote for years to come. How can I talk to MTH about that when you won't let me?
Oh - for sure...In many cases - I do prefer the physical fader...for soundmixing.
Try keeping up with a bluegrass band as they all take a quick solo on tablet...it can be done - but not as easily as you can just by moving a fader up and down.
That's why I've suggested we'll eventually see physical controllers that work with the DCS phone/wi-fi system...just like we have in the audio world.
When I run the fader-less XR18 - the tablet is nice - but they make the X-Touch - which allows you to add physical faders.
