Few people who don't know Dave would recognize him before the dye job on u-Tube. I missed Coachella this year but leave it to Dav with Google glasses to cover the event. I don't think he mixed any at the event, just played boss and had fun. I agree with you 100% on the more pro the less work aspect.

In the same vein as hope for the DL, and please forgive me if this has already been discussed/beaten to death...

Have we seen the last of the Master Fader updates currently at v 2.1.1? Or is Mackie taking their time to come up with a fantastic update that will blow everything else out of the water?  :lol: Or they really don't care when they come up with the next one, if at all? I know I am probably smoking some funny stuff, if I think the next update is coming anytime soon and going to be revolutionary. Even just a couple of new features?? Right now, Master Fader is pretty good at this version just the same.

Has anyone heard any rumors, even a little tid bit or two? Can't find any info Googling either.

At this point waiting for iOS 8 to hit the streets would be wise for anyone with an app. Whether a significant update or a minor fix is anyone's guess. They have until the X18 and QSC Touchmix start shipping before any sales impact will be felt. They could get a lot of mileage just fixing bugs, record/playback and adding sub-groups (DCA).

That would be the smart thing for Mackie to do. I guess it's wise to not hold one's breath waiting. When I was using the school's DL it was quite a pleasant experience and Master Fader at 2.1.1 was adequate and easy to use. Every DL experience should be that good. Oh well.

Captain Picard I am not  ;) I would like to hear (here??) more opinions on this subject, but alas we (significant other and I) are going on a cruise, leaving Saturday our time. Still doing last minute running around (like chickens minus their heads). 8 days Eastern Caribbean. Woo Hoo!!

Maybe when we get back and settled in to the routine. For now, to quote an old Star Trek: " Beam me up Scotty"  :P

Vacation time.   I'm departing on a motorcycle trip to Washington state.  (And Yellowstone.)   Will be checking in with my ipad mini.  (Does everything I need while on a trip and takes up the least space.)  Might go into Canada.  (Got to grab my passport and talk to my insurance agent.)

Went to Yellowstone for the first time 4 years ago with my Son and met up with my Brother.  This time it's with my Son and his Wife, then going onto Washington to meet up with my Brother.  If I come back through Canada, it will be Vancouver to Banff then south to Denver.  Really haven't decided.  My Wife has a few relatives living in BC that She want's me to meet with.  Would be good.  (Her Step-Father was from Saskatchewan.)

I'm taking my ipad mini that I use as a backup DL1608 controller.  It will take up the least space and I really only need it for Skype, email and surfing the web on occasion.  My Ride is a 1990 Pacific Coast with a Givi trunk on a Givi rack. (My second PC800.  First one I ran for 100k miles.)
