I have a Tranzport, love it and wouldn't do without it. But only a handful of control functions can be controlled at one time. It's not like being able to control ALL of the DM functions remotely, which is what I was getting at.
I have had a few studios in the past, complete with control room for when you are recording a full band or rhythm section basic tracks. You never have as good a feel as recording them together at the same time. My situation now is that I do not have a control room, everything is in one room. But I do have a home theater room next door which would make a great control room. No way would my wife permit me to move my console, etc. in that room.
However, if I could control all of the DM remotely with a tablet, I would just need to run two cables for an audio feed and I would be good to go with a super control room.
I have seen the website of the 2Seemy, and it is definitely and add-on that I will consider seriously, once I get the DM. But it wouldn't be needed if the DM would permit full control via USB and PC software, as with several other USB/Firewire external interfaces. Those interfaces are not full fledged mixers generally, but that added function to a DM would still be awesome.
In my case, I want to go back to an analog style surface from ITB mixing, hence my interest in the DM. I toyed with the idea of smaller mixing surfaces, but when I thought about it good, I want to go back to full control that I had way back in the analog days and with room to spare if possible. For example, the Mackie DL1608 that has just come out does nothing to me. I don't want the best of both worlds, I would like BOTH worlds, i.e. full remote control via tablet AND a full physical surface to mix on. You choose the one you need that is appropriate at the time you need it.
Maybe in an eventual successor to a DM, who knows... No harm in just dreaming...
Cheers, Dan

) but I think you and Jarno may be referring to two different things.
