Master/My Fader V2.0 Are Here!
stevegarris:
I had my first show with 2.0 this past Saturday. All went well and the upgrade was no problem.
What I liked:
Quicker access to the comps, effects and EQ's.
Hiding channels not being used.
Can now mute a channel on the mains but leave the monitor active (disable LR Mute).
What I didn't like:
Quick access panel hides channel one, and "return to mixer button" - Mackie needs to fix this!
It seems to sinc a littler slower, as others have said.
I was surprised that I didn't really use the quick access panel that much. I also did not have live monitors (band now using in-ears).
It was one of our best shows yet and the sound was awesome!

I use the GEQs on each aux send to eq the vocals - I usually run a seperate aux send per vocalist. This is pretty much how I did it before digital mixers came along - of course the advantage now is I don't need a rack full of GEQs.
I would be happy with post EQ pre compressor aux sends. Its the compressor I don't like in the foldback.
Cheers

Understood, and that'll work fine if you don't need anything else in the monitor but most people want more than just their vocal in the monitor so it's always going to be a compromise.
I have to say that's a small criticism of a great little mixer though. Something for MF V3 BenO?

I am a bit pout off by the fact that even though they are easier to get to the delay/reverb mute on new access should be just one button, I wanted a quick way to mute effects between songs, who leaves one or the other on all the time. The mute and group assigns to setup is a bit confusing.
Overall, nice update...

I found you can make a "mute group" that mutes both reverb and delay with one button push.

Genius :lol:

I set that up also - but found it of little use as you have to go to the QAP to hit a mute group button and the Reverb and Delay mutes are right there on the top of the QAP anyways.
