A bit of a learning curve, regular updates
I nearly panicked in December 2014 when our church decided to go digital when replacing our gradually failing mixer. Our PA team has a few nearing retirement adults like me, a young adult, a few college students, and about a half dozen high school students.
Our old system had a stack of wireless mic receivers stacked next to the old mixer. We did not have enough budget for commercial cables to put everything into a rack, so I learned how to solder XLR. After each increment in installation, I tested the system was still fully functional. It took several weeks to get everything into the rack, including the new antenna splitters and all the wireless mic receivers. The transition went well although I lost a bit of sleep learning the language of mixers then adjusting the settings. The biggest challenge was dropping preconceived ideas, and just trusting the manual and go with the easy interpretation.
They came through with the promised app updates. Our control of the sound is incredibly better. One of our college students got married and moved away. We trained in a new high school student. We did not let a former member, who said it would be fun to mess with the settings, know the network password. We still like each other, but no.
Several of the younger team members prefer to use the traditional view when adjusting the sound. I like the more modern view. Recording to a portable hard-drive is a breeze. I could not figure that out in the directions; just hit the record button, and it works.

This app works great with our youth music. I love the ability to take an additional iPad outside the sound booth to mix live on the floor.
Brilliant app... But

Love this new app, works great and offers a lot of features not found in the original app.
Mackie has done a nice job with this and has continues to provide upgrades and support for this app on a regular basis.

Oh boy....
I've been using this program for about 9 months now and have to say it is spectacular. Until the latest update. The thing I lived about this program is its stability. It's rock solid. Can't say that with the update. Program froze during my last show. Luckily the band was about to break, 10 min, and I close it, then restarted and we got back to normal. If I wanted something buggy and that freezes I would have purchased a behringer x-air system.
