Time delays in Macros

I understand the need to use delays between commands to the same device ie power on, input 1, but is there a danger in asking Demopad to do to many things at once without delays between commands?

The DemoPad app can handle many simultaneous commands / actions - usually the reason for needing a delay is because the receiving equipment cannot cope with many commands sent to it too quickly.

Thanks for the reply. Would 10 simultaneous actions be considered as "many".

No - though it does technically depend what the actions are doing though. It is common to have 20-30 actions on a button press. If you have much more than that - I'd look at why you have so many - for example if you are setting lots of flags individually rather than using 'exclusively on' group flag commands etc.
