Well. Well. Too bad it took this much patience for this to come to fruition. I’m glad I won’t have a boat anchor for a bit longer.  I’ll run the updates and see how everything goes. Fingers crossed.

AFAIK you're the only AXIS owner on here so we'll be interested in how this all works out. Dan as you may not know sold his AXIS system and moved on to Yamaha.
Keep us in the loop.

Did we ever figure out how many of these actually made it to market?

Dan's guess was maybe a thousand worldwide.

I wonder if he’s pissed right now. I know I would probably be. Luckily I hung onto it as it was pretty good for what I needed it to do and right now I probably wouldn’t get anything for it anyways. Just like most analog gear out there.

From your previous posts, it looks like you have done the firmware upgrade and everything seems to be stable. Correct?

I'm sure he's pissed after spending many resources and time into this product. Mackie should send him a complimentary system for all he's done for them. My tests are for the DL1608 the only mixer I have from Mackie out of about 30. MF is probably about the best it will get for this platform. Axis will have it's own issues. At least Mackie realized that it needed it's own manual  :)
P.S. Do you still have your DL1608?

Totally. He put countless hours into those instructional videos and didn’t he do some beta testing too? What a kick in the nuts!!!

Yes. I still do have a 1608 lying around. I haven’t upgraded it from the old 30 pin. Still have a clunker iPad for it.

I upgraded mine to the lightning connector just so it's sell-able.

I may have to force myself to upgrade it. I wonder if Mackie has any left in stock?

Hello everyone.

Just did my 5.2 updates to both of my DL32r’s and my DC16 (Yey!!) today and running some prerecorded multi-tracks. Its nice to have the new effects engines available. Currently everything seems to be running as it should. Man I miss mixing a live gig. I’ve been using some older iPads capable of running iOS 14 and everything seems stable both docked to the DC16 and Wireless. I’ve only skimmed over the new features so far. However what I’ve seen so far looks good. I’ll put some of them through the paces shortly.

I’ve still have to load MF5.2 onto my older windoze tablet machine and give that a whirl. I’ll have to give the tablet a little time to charge it batteries. But I will report back with details when it comes alive.

So far things are pretty stable via iOS.

Unfortunately I do not have a current Mac computer or android device to try their architecture.

Cheers
Al T.
