Yep, and one of the main selling points for me was that i would get to use ALL 16 channels for mixing instead of sacrificing 2 channels for set break music, which effectively makes a 16 channel mixer only a 14 channel mixer.
This wouldn't be a problem for me if it was a DL2408 8)
The White noise problems I had prior to MF3 were present on both my DL1608's, and would happen without fail every time I tried to play music from a docked iPad. Any docked ipad.
BenO tried to explain to me HOW it was happening, but they didn't know WHY it was happening.
Doesn't matter anymore because MF3 fixed that problem completely. Not one singe incident of "white noise" since updating to MF3.
I finally had the 16 channel mixer I paid for :)

Given the DL's ability to record only 2 tracks... Assuming that the OP is making noise while playing - not everybody playing direct and monitoring on phones - I would just hang a used Zoom H2 or H4 and patch it to a couple of cables. If there is no noise involved, creat and aux mix and send that to a recorder's inputs direct and patch the outputs back.
I like the DL a bunch but live recording is a complete after thought. As a small sound co guy, my SL boards generate revenue via live recording. My DL does not... Which is sad as there is a lot to love about the DL's workflow and packaging.

I use the iPad channel for background at every gig. No issues since the first time I undocked while the music was playing - once was enough! Nice to know that MF 3.x cured other random stuff though...
So the iPad channel saves a couple of tracks but in reality so do the effects returns. Back in the bad old analog days I always burned an additional pair of channels for a rev and a delay return so that I could apply the channel strip EQ as well... I would go back to analog in a heartbeat... If someone was holding a gun to my head...

Finally got to try recording with this program and the DL1608; docked the iPad; opened VRP; noticed that the gain is missing when it's docked. Made a recording and switched back to Master Fader and played back through the house; very nice, good volume. Undocked the iPad; tried to listen to the recording from VRP both with iPad speakers and powered speakers-NO volume. Noticed that the VU meters on VRP-that the recording level was weak, but recorded anyway as there was no way to adjust gain. Did not want to mess with the gain for Master Fader as it would have changed our levels out of the house. I thought I read somewhere that some folks were using AUX 6 to record from. Can someone verify that this works for the volume issue, or is there another way?
