DL1608 crashing
When I first bought the Mackie DL1608 it worked great, however now it's been crashing, locking up and don't even respond when I dock ipad. It doesn't recognize that ipad has been docked, no charging, no ipad control, NOTHING. Very disappointed. Is it because of NEW update like others have noted or what's the deal? I have tried connecting another iPad which is 4th generation and have same result. NOTHING! What is Mackie gonna do about this?Show lessTbonesdrums
Not backwards compatible!
We have a mix of iPads and iPhones we use to control the sound in our church. One of the iPads upgraded automatically and is now useless. We have to upgrade the mixer's firmware to use the new Master Fader, but we can't do that because we'd have to upgrade apps across many devices, including personally owned devices. Is there anyway to get the old version installed on a single device?Show lessNavin R. Johnson
Dreadful lag with new version 3 (mini iPad)
Updated the iPad mini from v2 to v3, and obviously did the firmware update on the DL1608. It now has a terrible lag and for us (8 piece band) is way too complicated. We know how to use EQ, compressors and gates etc and the old version was pretty good. We wish we could roll back to that version. I would not recommend updating to the new version 3. Also it now does not work on your iPhone !!!Show lesscongamantony
Great app
Very useful and easy to useTinns01
Great Mixer and software
Ver 3 is not backwards compatible for iPad 1. It requires iOS 7. iPad 1 only accommodates iOS 5. You will need an iPad 2 or higher. +++ The DL1602 firmware will update through wifi if you load ver 3 on a remote iPad.
The combination of the DL1602 and this Master fader software greatly simplified musical performance setup. We can now do a proper sound check off stage without needing a sound man. No more guessing. The wifi feature makes this possible. Also, the mixer is small and light. EQs and basic FX are all built in so there's less gear to lug around. I wish the mixer had more combo jacks but using DIs is a work around.Show lessThe the Mix
Freezes Up
Used the updated version at a gig and it froze up on my iPad 2 for about 30 seconds at a time. I remembered that I had the old version on a cloned backup disk and dumped the new for the old version and it worked fine with the same equipment, nothing different but the software. You should make the old version available. Newer is not always better.Show lessRK Tangent
Bad to Worse
Updated today... Used it for a concert 3 weeks ago. Today sound came out different after the update. I used the exact same saved setting, same venue and same singers with the same sound system, the Bose L1 model 2... I don't like what I'm hearing. I have to readjust my EQ settings again. I noticed the same sound change from the previous update as well. Some labels to my EQ presets ore gone so I can't tell which one is which... PLEASE have a separate App for the DL1608 and use V2. This is too complicated now.Show lessPnoyRSX
Bring the old app back V2
I hate the fact that i see everything my mixer does not have (DL32), i own the 1608 and i hate that i see all the sliders that have nothing to do with my mixer its very busy. I also am very disappointed the the eq adjusting, has it has a lag, it makes making any adjustments annoying, Please stop upsetting your customers and atlease give them the option to downgrade to 2.0. because at this point using your mixer is the upsetting part of my performance.Show lessDj Alexis_LA
Beware Master Fader 3.0
If you have a ipad 3 this app will not be smooth at all. Supposedly, the ipad 2 works great with MF 3.0 . MF 2.1.1 worked great with my ipad 3. Although 2.1.1 had far fewer features, it was completely sufficient for a 16 ch gig. I wish they would make 2.1.1 available for folks that dont need 32ch gig capability. Also, i think the iphone app, My Fader , does not work with the 1608 upgraded to MF 3.0, and there is no compatible iphone app available for MF 3.0. So... To The Mackie Company, Please make MF 2.1.1 available again for those of us who find it a better fit for our situation.Show lessChild still
