My first real gig with the DL1608
iBloke:
Firstly I'd like to state that I really hope jerrylee http://cacophony.aspinock.com/index.php?action=profile;u=4341 doesn't personally attack me again in this thread using the vile language and animosity he displayed towards me in my previous threads (fingers crossed)
I purchased a DL1608 about a month ago. Had the documented noise issue playing music from the docked iPad.
I sent that DL back in exchange for a new one, which doesn't blast the white/pink/whatever noise as often as the first DL....But still does it on a not so regular basis (using 3 different ipads)
Anyway I don't play music from a docked iPad anymore due to its unreliable nature. I just waste 2 channels by plugging in an iPod.
First real gig with a band I've been working for 3+ years.
Super easy to setup with my old Allen & Heath.
Not quite so simple with the DL...but luckily the venue owner gave us plenty of time for setup and sound check.
Cut a long story short, using the DL wirelessly was a revelation!
Firstly tuning monitors with a graphic EQ in my hands at each microphone was a dream come true!
And to be able to sit on a comfy chair at the back of the venue and have wireless access to a plethora of audio tools was the cherry on the cake!
The outcome is I really dig the DL1608 even though it has some relatively serious software bugs that mackie can't seem to solve.

There are times I miss the physical faders. But all in all a very capable mixer. Twice the number of controls of a MixWiz. It's a lot in a small package.

I just did a gig without my DL1608. I was in the back of the room all night where it sounded ok but a little muddy. I would run up to the dance floor on every song to listen. I will say I missed my DL!
Regarding break music, I've always just run an iPod plugged into channel 16. No need to use 2 channels.
