The last update to Remixlive brought Drag & Drop functionality to the app, but not satisfied with that, the developer has gone on to add more features in version 3.5. Generally speaking this version has a focus on workflow improvements, the main one being a new split mode, which means that users can now see both the FX and mixer alongside the main view, and both of these can be controlled. This is a sizeable improvement for users, and, potentially makes it a lot more usable in a live environment too.
Also in 3.5 come a series of design improvements such as smoother animations.
All in all this is another positive update to Remixlive, and continues to move it forward as both a useful and enjoyable app for creating music with.
If you don’t know Remixlive then it’s probably worthwhile reminding you of the overall feature list.
