This has to be one of the best iPhone apps ever written. It’s the first one I’ve seen that fully realizes the possibilities of touch surfaces as specialized control interfaces. The app is ProRemote, and it converts your iPhone or iPod touch into a wireless control for Pro Tools LE with realtime feedback.

Gizmodo got a chance to speak with the creater of the app, Alex Lelievre.

“ProRemote will be going into beta next week,” Alex told us, “currently the server is Mac only but will be an easy port to Windows later on (one thing at a day!) It is nearly feature complete now and runs on jailbroken iPhones and iPod touches.”

While the beta will be released next week, the final version “won’t ship until Apple releases their native iPhone SDK and I can convince them to certify the software. So hopefully sometime in late February I hope to have that released.”

“By the date I

have gotten up and walked by to my console 10 times to adjust the levels, I no longer want to play music. that software allows me to control my rig from the drums or my guitar setup and hopefully keep the music flowing.”

The remote system consists of three pieces. The first is the iPhone, providing the user interface and real instance display of audio signals and timecode. that connects to the server installed in the computer running ProTools, using a proprietary protocol by TCP ports 8183 and 8184. The server talks to Pro Tools using a MIDI driver in the same machine.

Alex says he has tested the app by AT&T’s network, so whether you really wanted to, “you can control your rig from anywhere in the world that has Web or EGDE”

Currently he’s asking US$150 for the app (a small price after purchasing ProTools).
