5.1 release confirmed at NAMM

[Artaudio]

Hello Everyone.

I’m hoping Mackie isn’t making a liar out of me. But I had confirmation from Tyler from tech support at NAMM that they will be rolling out 5.1 for all OSs for DL32R, DL1608 & DL806 right after NAMM has finished.

I personally saw the final product running on all platforms and they feel pretty confident that they are ready to let it go. They apologize for the long wait, but it sounded like the Android OS was and could still be an achilles heal for them.

They weren’t too clear on whether the DC16 AXIS systems have been fully tested to date and advise to not do an upgrade to it yet until 5.1 has been out for a bit.

Since I have two DL32R systems I may upgrade one of them and see if there are any snags.

Hope this helps guys and gals.

Cheers From ANAHEIM.

FWIW. According to Tyler there are only 3 guys working tech support at this time. Hope that will change.

According to Dave Belknap of Mackie the release will be at the end of January. I hope they will commit to that.
