It's maybe not for a small home studio based around a synth and a laptop but if you are using a medium/large project studio on your own then I can see some sense in it. I often take my wireless keyboard with me to the other side of the room, or even a nearby room, to control transport and I've wished I had a screen I could take as well. Certainly I could imagine using it to record when you can't be in the control room to also act as tape op - that could be drums or vocals, or it could even be something like foley or ADR.

Great idea buddy, but looking at your sales numbers, you need lessons in business... or for free I could get vmc lite, and controll my protools with that…. or wait for somebody else to write a program similar to this that knows something about economics, supply, demand, etc… Great idea buddy, but looking at your sales numbers, you need lessons in business…

To be able to keep working on a track in some meaningful way with the instruments instead of having to go back to the computer is worth some cash. And I just realized that this would be great for people who get distracted by the internet and all of the capabilities of computers (like myself), it could make the software more a piece of hardware in the background. That said, I really think iPhone apps should be cheaper than this. Do they want a few people with Pro Tools to buy it, or every single Pro Tools owner?
