Two days is enough time I would think for some objective and analytical review and reports on the subject of any effects DSP improvements.
Simply put, verbs any BETTER with MF3.0 ?
-
I've never had a problem with the 'verb once I figured out how to properly switch them :facepalm: but I'd sure like a second one available, and a chorus (or at least a reverb/chorus). Or with the new groups feature if I could route the output of a group to the 'verb it might work for being able to mute the 'verb on just the vocals during chatting with the audience...
-
You could always use one Aux for external effects and return by an open channel. It's doable, but some caution needs to be applied. (And you lose an Aux and Channel.) Personally, I've always considered chorus to be a poor substitute for a Leslie. (I own two Leslies.)
-
I can spare neither auxes nor channels :( . I really need that mythical DL2412R ;) .
-
Is there no fx mute footswitch option on the new hardware/software?
-
Haven't checked the DL32R yet, but the DL1608 doesn't have it. That would be a hardware change. Maybe someday we'll be able to use a bluetooth foot switch with the ipad for that function. Might want to add it to the want list.

Actually you have Bluetooth on the iPad and can hook up to a foot-switch and subsequently send the appropriate message to the DL via Ethernet. Of course that would require Mackie to modify "Mandolin". :) What hardware change?
-
The hardware change would be to incorporate a mechanical foot switch onto the DL1608. I guessing that might be harder than on an analog mixer.

Why would you want to go back and use a cabled foot switch when there are plenty of Bluetooth versions available. One less cable to deal with. Is there some Mackie Myth that Bluetooth is unreliable or that it doesn't play well with WiFi? Keep in mind that the DL is wired Ethernet not WiFi. That what the access point (Air Express etc.) converts for the DL. I use Bluetooth speakers (UE Boom) along with WiFi (Dlink WiFI Dir-655) and iPad III without any problems.

Def needs a bluetooth footswitch for those mixing from the stage and the FX mute(s) on the app are still not as accessible as I'd like...
-
I think that modern mixers should all have an fx mute via Bluetooth option, let's call it up arrow,
That leaves down arrow, for playback stop, left and right arrow for next and previous song, that's on the playback app that should be "always on top" folks.
😄
-
in this case, always on top should be an option. I wouldn't place it there. (Don't use very much effects.) Maybe make it part of the overview page?

I'm still searching for a Bluetooth app that takes a lapel mic into the iPhone headphone/mic jack and sends it out on the Bluetooth channel, that works (minor requirement). Anyone use one?

Did you try this one?

He did add airplay support at my request a while back - don't see why it wouldn't output to bluetooth? If not maybe he'd add that if you ask :) .

Thanks for the lead unfortunately his latest release improvement was to remove airplay code, go figure. :(

Could this be used as an ambient mic to be mixed in to a channel then to an aux for in ears?

Sorry you have misunderstood me, I think an always on top option should have been included from day one to allow transport controls for the musical content stored on the pad,
To create a product for iPad and ignore its playback capabilities, madness,
Just as omitting a quick fx mute option for people with busy hands is,

I don't have any bluetooth receivers so don't know if it will still work with bluetooth? I've emailed him as I was the one who originally talked him into adding airplay :) .
-
OK, the author of the TalkBack app is updating the app and will make sure it works with AirPlay. He actually didn't remove support for it, only the out-of-date instructions for using airplay on the old iOS's. But looks like iOS 8 broke it :( .
-
iOS 8 didn't break the talkback app, Airplay has never worked with it :(
I have pleaeded with him to incorporate Airplay functionality, the fact that the latest version doesn't even have an icon indicates he doesn't care about Airplay. :(
I would cheerfully pay him PayPal if Airplay worked.

Ahhh... that ain't how airplay works in the latest iOS's. You have to "pull up" the iOS control panel, that's where the airplay stuff is for all apps that use it. I can get to the airplay setting in his app but it doesn't show my airplay receiver in it (I'm using Shairport4w on my Win7 laptop).
-
I know how to swipe up to get to the airplay choices and iTunes plays fine but there is no choice in the talkback app to tell it to route audio to airplay.
I also have the iPhone mic enabled for the Talkback app.
It's just no good for airplay, when did you talk to Mark recently? So he said he IS going to get airplay to work?
That would be cool!
-

A few hours ago today, and yup.
-
fantastic!!!!
-
So let me get this straight.
This app will allow you to use your iphone as a talkback mic. Very cool.

It's really meant to use in a studio with a wired output from the earphone socket. With airplay you'll be able to use it wirelessly - but the built-in mic isn't really suitable for use in a noisy environment plus you need an airplay receiver. If you do have an airplay receiver you're more likely to want to use it for break music I'd think? I also suspect there is a fair amount of latency involved with airplay making it unsuitable for usage live aside from talkback?
-
Thanks Ron.
I think airplay has at least a couple of seconds latency. :(
