FAQ: Pressing "Mute" Selects EQ Instead

<< < (2/2)

I do like that you can now store icons with the snapshots. I only use one show as I only use one snapshot per band. I do run two iPads so the semiautomated show syncing makes that a whole lot less stressful. The theory is that now that they have the marketing droids off their arse about missing features they can get some real work done ;) .

There I thought all along that BenO was THE PRODUCT MANAGER, which in my days meant that marketing answered to you. Does the tail wag the dog nowadays? What missing features? The ones no-one wanted to begin with with based on the user input they requested? I certainly would like to see the new (1.5) list. An old proverb says "Be careful what you ask for". Oh yes is the software farmed out to Vancouver Canada?  One of the software types on Facebook might have slipped up on that.

Product Managers used to work for Engineering, nowadays they work for Marketing - welcome to the New World Order :( .

Don't much matter where it's being done as long as there isn't a language and/or cultural barrier that gets in the way. I've seen both - it ain't pretty x( .

Not in my world (Fortune 500 Division). Since product managers had to deal with all different departments and their resources and they were ultimately held accountable for the product, hence the name product manager they got to call the shots about the product. In the case of Mackie which used to be run by engineering (Greg Mackie) and now by sharks and bean counters all bets are of. Just curious if they even have in house software talent. A few years ago I collaborated with Shure (Midwest) on their WWB5, Winradio (Melbourne AU), software from Czechoslovakia and I was the test lab since they couldn't reproduce the problems. Logmein worked fine but the hours sucked. Shure outsourced WWB as did Winradio so it wouldn't surprise me if Mackie did the same. Coordination is the biggest problem if you don't have a reasonable video conferencing system.

They got to fix this.  I was ok with it to a point. It's really just annoying. Until earlier this week.

I plugged the left channel into a new bars house system. Un-muted a vocal channel and it starts squealing. I panic, reach for mute and it goes to eq screen.  Tap tap tap tap... finally shuts off. I made a lot of friends at the bar on that mistake.

Ok I know I should've had the volume down first. Please don't blast me on that. I got it already.

I sincerely hope they fix this issue (and countless others) soon.
