TouchDAW free

Standard functionality like mixer and transport operation will be accessible in other applications as well.

Would you know how to use it without WiFi? As in via usb? I have an EVO4G. My pc is a desktop without wifi…thanks!

I would use TouchDAW. It has the capability to run over usb as well. and I like it. Only downside to it is that you can’t customize it at all as far as the layouts go. But if what they give you is satisfactory for your purposes, then by all means, this is the way to go.
