I just don't believe sitting in a seat with a tablet can replace sitting in a seat with a full console yet. Or has that day arrived?

It's a terrible idea. We sometimes have a 2nd audio person with a
tablet, paying attention to monitors, or moving around the room
fiddling with EQ while in rehearsals, but it's not uncommon for it to
temporarily drop its connection, or get laggy, or just plain have the
tablet/app crash.  Very unreliable, if that were how you were
operating the sound board.

Also, what about the connections to their QLab (or other) DAW? Or
phone? Or CD player? Reel-to-reel? Turntable? Wax cylinders?
