My music cues were not all starting on the first beat. Early on, I thought there might be an issue. I have the original and, seriously, I have had a wonderful experience with mine. I give Audio Ape (AA) the highest recommendation. The remote works perfectly with the app I use (OneTrack), is compact, very solidly made, and is everything I could ask for. After 8 shows in different venues (some indoors, some outdoors), I haven’t had a single glitch! That’s never happened with my earlier remote systems. I waited to review the Audio Ape Remote until I had used it for several shows. When I press the button, I know the signal is sent and there’s no worrying if I pressed too long or too short! What can I say about the Audio Ape Remote – It’s everything it’s advertised to be! I started with a basic on/off remote for a cassette deck more than 20 years ago and have used numerous remote systems since (three different Virtual Soundman units, two custom remote MiniDisc systems, an iJet NAV with an iPod Nano, and an iJet NAV with an iPod Touch.) The Audio Ape Remote is the first one I felt completely comfortable with from the very first show.Īll the other remotes I used required getting used to how long you had to press the remote buttons (too short a press and the music wouldn’t be triggered, too long a press and they could skip forward.) Not so with the Audio Ape. If you are tired of half measures and compromises, then I would give this system a serious look. Now I can focus on my show and not have that little thought always in the back of my mind, will my sound work tonight? You can tell this was created by someone who does tons of shows because he has seemed to alleviate all of the stress points and aggravations of past systems.

I have owned them all over the last 15 years. Within the first 30 seconds of opening the package, I knew this was the remote cueing system I have been waiting for. What’s not to like?Ĭharles has really done something special for the performing community.ĭo yourself a favour, if you need a remote, this one will do the job nicely.! The buttons are clicky and the receiver is small and can ever work on battery power. No more waiting to be introduced at the back of the room, and wondering if your play on cue is going to work! I even tried firing it from the balcony of the theatre and it still worked. I’ve used the Audio Ape now for many shows, including on cruise ships and it’s never missed a cue. I’ve only ever used one other remote system (a cheap Schoche system that would sometimes not even work 50 feet across and EMPTY room! or when it was right at the side of the stage). We’ve all been there – having our sound cues so messed up we have to perform angry.Īudio Ape has been a perfect solution for me. However, there are some gigs that I have been starting to do alone, and relying on a sound man is very hit or miss.
