FYI, Charles announced over the weekend, on Facebook, that they are going to have a half price sale on Audio Ape and Media Monkey during the Covid-19 situation. Sale prices are reflected on their website.

I just happened to stumble upon Audio Ape due to devising my new programme.
Fingers crossed that you'll be able to help me with this one: I had been considering to order MediaStar Pro by Live Show Control (and before that by ProMystic) but now Audio Ape looks more appealing to me. I'm planning on connecting Audio Ape with the Amazing Amp Pro by Empower Sound (via Audio Ape's DI box) and an iPad storing all the tracks I need for my performances. Would I be correct in assuming that Audio Ape and the Audio Ape app mentioned on their website will work as a stand-alone solution for the music being played during my act or do I need both Media Monkey and Audio Ape if I'd like this system to work? My apologies if for you pros out there this sounds like a pretty silly question. I've been a semi-professional so far who intends to go pro and honestly, I haven't been able to figure it out from what I read on their website. My bad. So much looking forward to your responses. Many thanks in advance and stay healthy everybody. |

The Media Monkey adds additional operations that are not possible with the Audio Ape Remote alone: · Video playback · Lighting control · Live cameras · Microphones · Music playback |

Looks like to start with Audio Ape and go for Media Monkey at a later point in time to bring my stage presence to perfection. Controlling a video playback and stage lighting sounds more than interesting. Again, many thanks for getting back to me so swiftly. I'll definitely consider using Audio Ape and purchasing it during the current sale. |

You can use it to do the same things as the Audio Ape does and, when you're ready, you can use it for the video playback and stage lighting. It's more expensive but the price is still quite low on sale. |

Thanks, all. If you buy Media Monkey, doesn't it include Audio Ape and get you both at once? I agree, not entirely clear to me on the site. Although that might just be because I'm missing something. Thanks!

Hey Michael, sorry to ask more, but you do seem like a great resource for answers
 In addition to Michael.Kegel's question above.... would the Media Monkey be ABLE to use an iOS to also control music? Thank you, sir!

In other words, the Audio Ape has a 3.5mm (1/8") output to connect from it to your sound system. If your sound system has a 3.5mm (1/8") input, you connect it directly. For smaller shows, where my sound system is nearby, I connect this Audio Ape this way. When I'm in larger performing areas and my PA is further away from me, I use 3.5mm cable to connect the Audio Ape to DI box and then an XLR cable to run to my PA system. The Media Monkey connect directly to a computer using a USB cable. You connect your computer to your PA system, etc. |

Will the following set up work with using Audio Ape outside with no power outlet?
1. Audio Ape. 2. Go Button Pro. 3. Battery Bank. 4. iPhone 5. QDJ15 Battery Powered Portable Bluetooth Speaker: https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-QDJ15-Por......?ie=UTF8 I already have the battery powdered portable bluetooth speaker. Will I be able to have it set up with no cords or wires connected to the speaker because the speaker is bluetooth? The only two cords I will have to supply is the one connecting the battery bank to the receiver and the cord connecting the receiver to the iPhone. Am I right? |

I found that my iPod Touch would lose the BlueTooth connection from time to time when using my Audio Ape, which it doesn't do normally. I didn't troubleshoot it much. I just decided to connect my Audio Ape to my speaker with a 3.5mm cable. I only use the BlueTooth speaker for smaller shows. For my larger shows, I'm using a Bose S1 Pro and I connect using a direct box and an XLR cable. I find BlueTooth, in general, too unreliable to use for my performances. |

Thanks so much, Michael.
Let me explain my plans and where I am at right now. I have been using Amazing Amp for several years. When I play music I use One Track on my iPod. I do not like how long the battery last, I am going to switch to my iPhone. I also have Show Cues. But One Track is easier to use for me. I use the second transmitter that comes with Amazing Amp. I have not used a remote for a few years. I also have Ultimate Control from Happie Amp. I forgot how to use it after a few years. I believe the set up is difficult. I do have iJet and iNav but I stopped using it years ago. I was thinking about re-reading the instructions to see if it will work for my plans I am putting together. If it does work with my plans, I will not need Audio Ape. What I like about Audio Ape the most is the ankle usage. I do have Axtell's HANDS-FREE DRAWING BOARD. I don't understand how to program it. I always use the eraser manually. I do have Speechelo. Speechelo is what I use for my character's verbal content. My plan is to talk to the character on the board. I will have to use the eraser manually. It will be odd if I had a remote in each hand. That is why I want the ankle version. I will use it for the character's audio. Any other suggestions on how to put m act together using the Bluetooth speaker? I purchased Show Cues and One Track on my iPod years ago. Will I be able to switch the apps to my iPhone with no extra cost? |

I use Audio Ape as my music remote controller and I'm very satisfied with it. I bought it from Audio Ape three years ago and use it with my iPad. It's reliable and has never failed. I performed a couple shows recently and I realized if it ever failed, or the cable to the iPad broke, etc. that my music would not play and the show would suffer. If I had a backup I could quickly swap it in during the show. I now have backup cables. It would be unfortunate to swap in a replacement during the show but the music would be right back on. So I'm interested in buying a backup. If anyone has an Audio Ape system - and it must be working properly! - they want to get rid of, and will give me a good deal on it, I would like to talk to them. Please send me a private message. Thanks! Greg

I pre-paid for Audio Ape Pro early this year. It was suppose to be delivered in May of this year. So far it has not been delivered. I can't believe this.

I ordered as well. Updates indicated that CPUs could not be shipped to them for construction due to the pandemic, hence the almost indefinite wait. I did receive an update on 8/24 that the CPU’s finally arrived and they could begin building. I suppose they should be shipping soon.
