I'm hoping to be able to use MyFader as a FX window to manage Delay and Reverb settings globally. That is gonna be a HUGE benefit for me.

I posted on mackies Facebook wall yesterday asking what was going on, they said 'we are on the edge of our seats like you guys, will provide more info when we have it'....... I've got a blister on my pinkie from keep going to the App Store every five mins. I have just cut it down now to the times I am sat on the toilet.  :facepalm:

My guess would be it will be released after the Mackie crew get back from Germany. Tomorrow is the last day of Musikmesse Frankfurt- so maybe early next week :) ?

Unfortunately past experience has been that nothing gets done during a trade show :( .

So, what do you plan to use My Fader for?

What does Musikmesse have anything to do with an app that has already been submitted to the App Store? There is no go ahead from Mackie to release it. The go ahead would be given when submitted.

My understanding is that it doesn't work that way. Once Apple approves the app Mackie still has to make it live in the app store. Mackie has to have all the docs done for it and trin their tech support folks on it. When they make it live they also have to make the docs live on their website and send out notifications and press releases. I'm guessing they need all their folks back home for all of that.

So what does tell you? A skeleton crew and techies go to shows? Not a sign of a healthy company. Of course there is the Internet for activation! So what is their excuse?

There is no excuse. Mackie stated that the only reason it's not available yet is because new apps take longer to get approved then updates to apps. The go ahead is there, now we just have to wait. That is if Mackie has not lied again.

And yes if road rangers assumptions are correct, which I am not sure they are, then a simple email would probably be all that is needed. It's not like Mackie has to go to apples office and press an "ok" key.

How does a simple email get the docs finished and approved, the tech support folks trained, etc - especially when the Mackie crew is busy working the show :o ?

Hey guys. Long term reader but nube,poster. I play keys in a wedding band and our bass player was at the messe yesterday. He met Ben and noticed that, (a very protected), version of my fader was on bens iPhone, so we cannot be far away. Hope this contributes!!!!

Most of the stuff you are talking about can be done anywhere around the world. But do you really think that the docs aren't finished and the techs aren't a trained? And do you really think that the entire mackie crew is at musikmesse, and the ones that are cant focus on anything but being there? Sometimes you are just plain delusional.

We'll get it when we get it I suppose.
I see no point in stressing out or needlessly speculating anymore, life is too short and goodness knows what's causing the delay.
Undoubtedly it will be useful when it arrives, but I've managed well enough without it so far.

That's my stance on this now! My (and a lot of you) big issue with Mackie was making statements about projected release dates (for weeks/months) that never came to fruit. We repeatedly cursed them and said that a simple coming soon would be the way to present updates. I believe they got the point!!
