Updated Mackie Master Fader Control App for DL Series Live Mixers Now Available

Mackie DL series mixer for iPad

Mackie announces the latest update to their master fader control application for the DL1608 and new DL806 digital live sound mixers is now available for free download in the App store. Master fader v1.4 launched for iPad, with a host of new features a new selection of channel plug-ins and improved snapshot operation driven by customer interaction.

"Try adding an entirely new EQ or dynamics section to your average mixer," commented Ben Olswang, Mackie product manager. "You're going to need more than a screwdriver. With a Mackie DL series mixer, it's as easy as updating the app from your iPad."

Master fader v1.4 features an entirely new selection of vintage processing. After extensive analysis, development, and testing, the new vintage EQ, compressor and gate deliver the sought-after musical characteristics of your favorite industry-standard processors. The vintage compressor and gate provide a fast attack, non-linear attack/release, and program dependent release making them great for drums and other transient sources. The vintage EQ captures the unique interactions between the shelving bands and the gain and frequency-dependent Q structure of the parametric band to deliver the clarity and sheen of classic EQ designs. This EQ is great for getting vocals, guitars, and other instruments to sit perfectly in a mix. The company says the DL users can choose between clean, surgical modern processing and the new range of classic vintage plug-ins for more flexibility in use.

In addition, a huge update to the show management and overall snapshot operation makes DL mixers even better for users with complex shows and multiple wireless devices. With DL series mixers the users can snap a photo of the band with their iPad camera or choose from a selection of handy icons and use this as channel ID. With v1.4 these images are now synched between all wireless devices connected to the mixer. The snapshot system will also store and recall these images across devices and the user can add an image to each show to help with identification. Plus, shows now load in the background, keeping all wireless devices online when a show is changed. Shows will seamlessly transfer between the DL1608 and new DL806.

Master fader v1.4 is now available as a free download from the App Store at the URL below.
