Welcome to the forum. :)
Here are a few pointers to help you navigate between the truths and lies:
1. Please be advised that there are many different opinions here on the forum regarding the DL series of mixers.
2. Do not take post frequency and reply length as a sign of unchallenged authority or knowledge on any issue.
3. Some people posting do not currently, or have never owned a DL series mixer. They will not identify themselves but will usually have plenty to say.
4. The minority may seem like the majority and vice-versa. What becomes "reality" is directly proportional to the amount of time one has to post. :)
5. Facts do not have to be backed up with proof but with long winded posts and condescension. The truth? Who needs that anyway, it's the internet!
6. Mackie will be attacked frequently and blamed for everything, even climate change and global recession. But remember, if it wasn't for them, you wouldn't be here!
7. Try to avoid being sidetracked by following hyperlinks to rambling boredomsville.
8. Don't forget your pinch of salt with every "known fact" or statistic!
9. Behringer have their own forum but why go there? Stay here and agitate people who prefer not to buy that brand. "False Superiority Complex" is the name of the game!
10. Beware of the forum narcissist(s) - their traits will soon become obvious if you stick around here long enough.
11. The DL1608 is actually a great little mixer, getting better all the time. There are thousands of happy customers. If you want to make coffee, buy a coffee machine.
12. Abandon hope all ye who enter here. (with thanks to Keyboard Magic - MMXIV)
13. RoadRanger is the King of this forum, it's his to rule over and don't forget it!
14. Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please. (KM)
15. All generalizations are false, including this one. (KM)(MT)
Dear new visitor, best of luck as you navigate through this forum :thu: :)
UPDATE: Please feel free to add your additions to this list. Maybe I can flog this dead horse of a subject up to 18001 views! (RR permitting) ;D

LOL!! Sage advise indeed ... new visitors take notice! :)

IOW, caveat emptor, it's the internet!
thanks robbo ;)

Links between the elusive DL1608 "white noise", occasional sync problems and erectile dysfunction are being researched as we speak.
One suspected victim, Edgar Pudding, is quoted as saying:
"There I was, minding my own business, in bed with my wife on my iPad.
Then I read a post about random white noise blasts from the DL1608 and it put me right off.
Haven't been able to perform ever since, it's the fear you see. The fear of the unknown."
Stay tuned here for further updates from the people who know. Everything.

It's all bound to get a "rise" out of someone sometime somehow. :facepalm:

Thanks! Just trying to keep things light after your particular discussions with another member. I hope things work out.

If were me, and if I had the 'white noise issue', I would not keep doing the same things that cause it. Seems like it it may occur when using an older ipad in conjunction with playing music with certain 3rd party app's, un-docking, whatever, if you know it will cause a problem, don't do it. If you cant live without repeating the scenario, sell it and try something else. It's real boring and bush league to see how many hit's one can get, and continuously bumping their thread to the top, whining about their isolated problems. Some people have hate issues with certain brands, so be it, but don't torture us with your problems. I think we've all seen enough of this. Time to move on.

DAMMIT I CAME HERE TO SAY THAT :o
Naw, it's all good. Are we expecting a flood of DL32R potential users on the forum?
Gotta say, when the 1608 came out I made a case for the potential of a 32 channel rack-mount version (probably on the old forum). Unfortunately now that it's almost here I'm not in the market (I have access to a Soundcraft Expression3 that keeps me smiling) but I do hope for the sake of future users that Mackie has improved the reverb algorithms or dedicated more DSP to that function.

My sentiments exactly!

Another one or two for Welcome to the forum:
"Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please"
This is not mine for sure, but a quote from Mark Twain. Very apropos? ;)
Just in case.... "All generalizations are false, including this one" Another Mark Twain quote.
Too much time on my hands. :facepalm:

Lol KM, you are a mine of useful quotes! I'm in bed on my phone, I'll add those later when I get on the computer!

Thanks! just trying to help out. ;) Way too much spare time. You should really take the phone out of the bed first, then use it. :laugh:

Lol, I see what you did there. I wondered why I couldn't sleep properly à la Princess and The Pea. 8)

Here's a few more....
"Our biggest problem is apathy – but who cares?"
"We have standards and expect you not to exceed them."
And last but not least... "Laugh at yourself before anyone else can... "
;)

All good KM! I'd need to update the original post but been a busy bee in the real world!

Yawn!

Yawn!
That Bad? And here I thought I had a second calling or career ;) I won't give up my day job, I promise. :)

Cool! Although "Yawn" encompasses many things. Just finished playing a Luncheon at the Seniors home. Played last night there too. So "Yawn" indeed! Should've just stayed there over night and saved Bus Fare. :laugh:
Okay, so one for the road, as it were/was? " Consciousness: That annoying time between naps."

I wonder what the next topic of complaint will be when we get gifted, once again, with major feature upgrades for free? ::)
Any ideas, actual DL owners/operators out there? :angel:

I think we all had better get our fingers limbered up for a lot of typing and typos and lots of rest for lots of good reading once more. To quote an old quote..."'Something Wonderful This Way Comes" ??? Personally I'm constantly checking the app store. :)

Thanks, just saw that in the other post. Nice Gonna put it on my older iPad 2 first and play around with it first. And from what I've already read on all the buzz about it, it's going to be interesting indeed, especially around here. This first iteration of "MF" may end up standing for something else pretty quickly. :facepalm:

LOL.
The more features you get, the more complex it gets.
Undoubtedly there will be a gnashing of teeth and looks of bewilderment at gigs throughout the world - mine included lol!

Just played with it on my older iPad2. Not too hard, but there was some hunting and pecking to find stuff I was used to on the older version. It actually kept my shows. Nice. Like I've always said to former music students.. "Practice, Practice, Practice" and then PRACTICE some more. ;D
-
IT'S ALIVE! THE FORUM IS ALIIIIIIIIIVE! Bit of a drought for a small period there. Lots of goodies to discuss. :thu:
So what's with the LIKE and NOT LIKE selections now, like? ;) Nothing wrong with it per say, just curious.

Now that there is a manual RTFM before judging all the new and old functions. The designers had their reasons for doing things and they may not be the way you envision it, so save your teeth.
