E todas as concorrentes tem essa funcionalidade nos smartphones. ### 2/5 — App will not work with ios16.1.2 *2022-12-10, version 4.6.2* Haven’t had any issues using this app for years till I updated my iPhone to IOS 16.1.2, would not load at all keeps crashing 😞 please update the app to work with the new IOS ### 2/5 — Not loading since last iPhone update. *2022-12-04, version 4.6.2* This app worked beautifully until Apple distributed its most recent update (16.1). At this point when you choose the devise it closes the program, making it useless. It would really help if the app would update to accommodate the Apple update. ### 4/5 — Buena *2019-12-15, version 4.6.2* Buena app aunque sería mucho mejor se la mejoraran para iPhone como ecualizacion y compresión para iPhone ### 4/5 — EQ *2019-10-29, version 4.6.2* Anyone know how to get to the ep view from the iPhone? ### 4/5 — Is there more to expect? *2019-05-18, version 4.6.2* This version is by far the best version. I did not experience any problems but look forward to Masterfader 5! Why does it take so long to convert it so we can use the new professional features. Other brands do have them... Mackie! Be aware for salesdrop... Ps: I would Mackie to make it possible to see the type-name of preset in screen. ### 3/5 — Delay not working. *2019-02-16, version 4.6.2* I’m thinking it’s something simple but for the life of me, I can’t get the delay to work on any channel. Even using pre-sets. ### 4/5 — Post faders *2018-11-10, version 4.6.2* I wish they update the app so that i can chose individual channels for pre or post fader. For now its only for the whole aux channel ### 3/5 — Fail ! *2018-09-29, version 4.6.2* Buen día, la app es buena, pero es muy muy muy lenta, sería bueno que la actualizarán y mejorarán la navegación de la app se demora en cargar y algunas veces en conectar con el Case de la consola. ### 4/5 — Rta *2018-09-14, version 4.6.2* Cuando vai sai a nova atuallisacao 5.0 ### 3/5 — Ecualizador ya en el iPhone Master Fader *2018-08-26, version 4.6.2* por que desde mi iPhone no se puede modificar ningún ecualizador? ### 2/5 — Not a house mixer *2018-08-06, version 4.6.2* We use this as a house mixer and we have over 100 bands saved in the Show files. There is no way to organize or sort the files. Files are ordered by the creation date and if you load from a back up they seem to go in a random order. I’d be happy if they auto sorted alphabetically. Any time we have a returning band it is a horrible time hunting for their show file. Sorting is a standard feature with any type of file system and I can’t believe how long this App has been out and has not added a sort feature. ### 2/5 — Dl32R *2018-04-28, version 4.6.2* Gostaria que a Dl32r tenha um plugin de eliminar automaticamente os Feedbacks seria uma mão na luva para qualquer profissional de áudio eliminando os Feedbacks. ### 2/5 — Исправьте баг!!! *2018-03-31, version 4.6.2* У меня программа устанавливается на испанском и я не могу найти где поменять язык на английский… Иль лыжи не едут… В чем проблема??? I have a problem with application, it installs on Spanish and I can't find how to change language to English. WTF? ### 5/5 — Intiutive *2018-03-07, version 4.6.2* Nice ### 5/5 — Great and powerful *2018-03-06, version 4.6.2* Fantastic for 1608. Goodbye analogue ( ok I keep 1 in the car just in case). Brilliant set up . Use for 2 bands and no probs so far. Would love multi track rec feature and perhaps more on board effects - chorus and another reverb in next update. This would make it all you'd ever need but can't take a star away. ### 4/5 — Intuitiv mit schlechten Effekten *2018-03-02, version 4.6.2* Ich nutze Masterfader mit einem DL 32 und die Möglichkeiten sind vielfältig. Genutzt wird das Pult aktuell für eine 4 Köpfige Band und diverse DJ und oder Karaoke Setups. Wenn man seine Preseteinstellungen für die Instrumente erst einmal gefunden hat dann sind Liveanwendungen schnell erstellt. Einen besseren Sound habe ich mit so wenigen Handgriffen nie gehabt. Kleine Kritik hätte ich an den Effekten und dem Kanal EQ .... Effekte : - sind nicht sehr hochwertig —> aber brauchbar - könnte ein paar Bänder mehr haben —> ist aber auch so brauchbar Equalizer: - schade, dass es in den einzelnen Kanälen keinen Highpassfilter gibt —> gibt es lediglich im Master Kanäle : - schade, dass die Kanalanirdung in der Ansicht nicht frei wählbar ist (also an Platz 1 der Fader 5 oder 1;2;3 Hall 4;5;6 .... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update *2019-05-27, version 4.6.2* When are you going to update this app? Have you been sleeping or being lazy??? ### 1/5 — Takes a long time to sync. *2018-10-10, version 4.6.2* Every time I close the app on the iPad or press the home button for any reason, I reopen the app it takes a really long time to sync but to the mixer. Is there anything i can do to fix that problem? ### 1/5 — Lenta *2018-05-21, version 4.6.2* Aplicación lenta, muy demorada en hacer los cambios de ecualizador y cambios de nivel ### 1/5 — Mackie Master Fader 4 *2017-12-13, version 4.6.2* Очень плохо работают фейдера! В 3ей версии было всё мгновенно и оперативно. Тормозит по страшному!!! Пожалуйста исправьте! Не удобно работать. За обновление эффектов +5, но за тормоза пока что минус вам. Надеюсь на улучшение ### 1/5 — Lástima, inestable *2017-05-11, version 4.6* Se calienta demasiado la DL806, se alentó mucho la aplicación, y la iPad de bloquea o apaga por el calentamiento, esto no había sucedido, mucho mejor la versión anterior, incluso todo era en español, con la actual combinaron los idiomas inglés y español, espantosa actualización, espero que con la próxima se solucionen los problemas, mucho mejor la versión anterior a esta. ### 1/5 — Falha na conexão *2017-04-30, version 4.6* Aqui uso cada auxiliar com seu iPhone. Usava, ele cai e às vezes não conecta! ### 1/5 — No graba *2017-01-14, version 4.5.3* La última actualización no me deja oír lo que grabo, por favor corríjanla ### 1/5 — PLEASE add tap delay and vca groups!!!! *2016-12-29, version 4.5.3* it just take too long too mute and all VCA are all seperate makes it too dificult to control ### 1/5 — bad *2016-10-26, version 4.5.1* Too much updating. shouldn't it work rigth already? more than 5 year of app ### 1/5 — Reverb & Bugs - Do Not Update *2016-09-22, version 4.5* If you have any reverb in your settings that you like, DO NOT UPDATE. I normally LOVE Mackie and Master Fader with my DL32R. I updated, didn't change a thing, and suddenly my reverb sounded COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I called Loud Tech (Mackie) support and told them this - they seemed excited that it sounded completely different. I had to explain that completely different is bad - I expect that it should sound basically the same if I didn't change any settings. The new settings sounded "tinny" and lasted about 5 seconds longer than they had before. Their only suggestion was to play around with the new settings and try to get it back to where I liked it before. I have had to go from Cathedral to Large Room to get even remotely close to where I was. It still sounds horrible. There are also a number of bugs. I've never had a bug issue before with Mackie, but now when I recall a snapshot, about half the time the board disconnects from the app. Switching from show to show also causes it to load indefinitely for me. I'm trying to get a way to downgrade back to before this update. I would suggest not upgrading - the new update has really changed my attitude about Mackie from extremely positive to extremely negative. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is the most beautiful version of masterfader. Its changed my life *2024-08-10, version 4.6.2* Keep in mind ive been in pro audio 30+ years as of 2024. In that time this has been the single biggest game changer technology. Hot hips: Stick with MF4 ios only (MF5 was a cross platform rewrite and never fully polished) Mackie have made an app that is head and shoulders above ALL the competitors, at all price points. Im talking digico, yamaha, alken and heath, midas (well behringer now). This app smokes them all such that im happy mixing 32 inputs and 14 monitor mix outputs from an ipad. In fact its become my preferred 'console' period. ### 5/5 — Liberar aí *2024-08-02, version 4.6.2* Versão 9.3.5 libera ai ### 5/5 — Master Fader 4.6.2を使用 *2022-10-31, version 4.6.2* iPadOS16にアップグレードすると、EQ・GATE・COMPなどのプリセットのリコール（呼び出し）ができなくなる。現場では死活問題なので、どうにかしてほしいです。とはいえ、古いiPadを今も使用しているこちらの問題のような気もしています(Master Fader5以降は試したことがありません)。 それ以外はもう手放せない機能性を備えています、DL32R最高！ ### 5/5 — Ожидать следующих обновлений? *2020-08-25, version 4.6.2* Ожидать следующих обновлений? ### 5/5 — Buena *2020-08-23, version 4.6.2* Estable y cumple su propósito con la versión de iPad correspondiente ### 5/5 — Perfeito *2019-03-10, version 4.6.2* Tenho um 1608 e já comprei a 32R....Super satisfeito ### 5/5 — Most underrated mixer in its segment *2018-10-29, version 4.6.2* I run audio all over and on many nice mixers. The DL32r is a runaway success. Show after show, people ask what mixer we are using and are shocked it’s “only a Mackie”. I tell them to listen to their ears and they have to agree it is an amazing mixer. Flexible routing and applications make it a winner for sure. It’s equally at home in the studio as it is live. I love using both subgroups and DCA’s in live shows. And bands love it when I record multitrack and they have an option to buy their tracks. I even will play some live mixes as post show playback right after the event. The musicians can’t believe they sounded that good. Get this mixer... best option under $5k, and it costs less than $2k! ### 5/5 — Support smaller screen devices *2018-10-04, version 4.6.2* The iPhone screens are now much more useful than they were when this app originally launched. Really hoping the developers can consider adding more or full functionality to iPhones especially plus and max sizes. Current navigation on phone is really cumbersome. Would be great to have quicker access to mute group. Please add record/playback controls and EQ screen even if it’s just parameters and not dragging the graph. Finally if I connect constantly to just one device please automatically connect when it’s found on the network. Save me a frequent step. ### 5/5 — 5 stars can’t rate this high enough! *2018-06-23, version 4.6.2* I have been using the Dl32r with this app for a little over a year in a small church. It is absolutely amazing! I don’t have personal experience with other digital mixers, but I have seen some in other churches and watched videos online. The more I see of other digital boards, the more I love this system. On every single channel, you can see exactly what how the eq is set and what the gate and compressor are doing. You don’t have to mess with a small “select” button on the channel only to see one channel’s processing settings at a time in a corner at the opposite end of the board. It is all right there at a glance, for every channel! Every channel also has a very large signal meter that is the full height of the fader. Compare that to the 3-5 small led lights that some digital boards use for a signal meter! We use two iPads, one for the front of house mix, and one for our online stream. We have two completely separate mixes all from one system, and we could have many more if needed! Some don’t like the idea of not having physical faders, but in my opinion, not having them is a small price to pay for the ease of use, amazing functionality, and being able to see exactly what each channel is doing at a glance without having to hit a button that only shows you what one channel is doing anyway. Download the app, play with it a bit, watch online videos on it, and you may get hooked. I have watched videos on Allen and Heath’s QU series, and Yamaha’s TF series. I briefly looked at a Behringer X32. I also have more than a dozen digital mixer apps on my iPad to try out in demo mode. I don’t have as much experience with them, but from what I have seen, none of them make near as much sense as this app right here. If you need to see more channels at a time, you can add another iPad. If you have to have physical faders, you can add Mackie’s DC16 to the system. This may not be the right solution for everyone. There may be some special functions or features that would require a different mixer, but this mixer is amazing! Thank you Mackie! 5 stars just doesn’t seem like a high enough rating for something so well done. ### 5/5 — Fantastic. *2018-03-24, version 4.6.2* I love this whole setup! Wireless mixing from anywhere in the venue is great for a small band. It's easy to use, as basic or complicated as you want to make it. Great fx processing, live recording, quality mic pre's and great hardware. My only complaint is that the wifi router should be built in! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
