Re,Re,Re,Reverb

Two days is enough time I would think for some objective and analytical review and reports on the subject of any effects DSP improvements.
Simply put, verbs any BETTER with MF3.0 ?

[RoadRanger]

I've never had a problem with the 'verb once I figured out how to properly switch them  but I'd sure like a second one available, and a chorus (or at least a reverb/chorus). Or with the new groups feature if I could route the output of a group to the 'verb it might work for being able to mute the 'verb on just the vocals during chatting with the audience...

You could always use one Aux for external effects and return by an open channel.  It's doable, but some caution needs to be applied.  (And you lose an Aux and Channel.)  Personally, I've always considered chorus to be a poor substitute for a Leslie.  (I own two Leslies.) 

[RoadRanger]

I can spare neither auxes nor channels . I really need that mythical DL2412R .

Is there no fx mute footswitch option on the new hardware/software?

[Wynnd]

Haven't checked the DL32R yet, but the DL1608 doesn't have it.  That would be a hardware change.  Maybe someday we'll be able to use a bluetooth foot switch with the ipad for that function.  Might want to add it to the want list.

Actually you have Bluetooth on the iPad and can hook up to a foot-switch and subsequently send the appropriate message to the DL via Ethernet. Of course that would require Mackie to modify "Mandolin".  What hardware change?

[Wynnd]

The hardware change would be to incorporate a mechanical foot switch onto the DL1608.  I guessing that might be harder than on an analog mixer.

Why would you want to go back and use a cabled foot switch when there are plenty of Bluetooth versions available. One less cable to deal with. Is there some Mackie Myth that Bluetooth is unreliable or that it doesn't play well with WiFi? Keep in mind that the DL is wired Ethernet not WiFi. That what the access point (Air Express etc.) converts for the DL. I use Bluetooth speakers (UE Boom) along with WiFi (Dlink WiFI Dir-655) and iPad III without any problems.

[RoadRanger]

Def needs a bluetooth footswitch for those mixing from the stage and the FX mute(s) on the app are still not as accessible as I'd like...

[Kev tyler]

I think that modern mixers  should all have an fx mute via Bluetooth option, let's call it up arrow,

That leaves down arrow, for playback stop, left and right arrow for next and previous song, that's on the playback app that should be "always on top"  folks.

😄

[Wynnd]

in this case, always on top should be an option.  I wouldn't place it there.  (Don't use very much effects.)  Maybe make it part of the overview page?

I'm still searching for a Bluetooth app that takes a lapel mic into the iPhone headphone/mic jack and sends it out on the Bluetooth channel, that works (minor requirement). Anyone use one?

Did you try this one?

He did add airplay support at my request a while back - don't see why it wouldn't output to bluetooth? If not maybe he'd add that if you ask .

Thanks for the lead unfortunately his latest release improvement was to remove airplay code, go figure.
