Using Best Boy Sound Control, the artist is able to handle sounds and music by himself with a remote control right from the stage. To remote control the app, external devices which act as a keyboards can be used. These include presenter, remote controls and keyboards. These devices can be connected via Bluetooth or via an USB OTG (On The Go) cable as long your Android device supports USB OTG. With USB OTG, it is possible to use a presenter with an USB-Stick; these are often used for PowerPoint presentations. These devices usually have a longer range than corresponding bluetooth devices. This grants the artist the possibility to manage his performance by himself without the need of an audio engineer.

Tested devices:
- BestBoy Remote (USB OTG)
- Logitech Presenter R400 (USB OTG)
- Trust Wireles Remote Control for iPad (Bluetooth)
- TomTom BT Remote (Bluetooth)

Ratings and reviews

This is a great app. I am magician with lots of sound cues. I am using audio ape media monkey remote. Now as with every new thing there is a slight learning curve. I see some negative reviews on here from people who ran into my same problems . Everytime I did not understand something I emailed Florian and had a response in a day. Someone put they had an error code, yes me to . I had no idea that the phone has to have permission to run that app. Florian told me right where to go to change

Amazing! I use this as a remote cue system for performing magic. Love the fade out and queue of next track. Glad to see it's been bright back and updated. Works with ANY Bluetooth remote. Developer is accessible, friendly, and accommodating. Money well spent!
