Hi Folks,
I have been using a DL1608 for over a year.
My bigger mixer is a Yamaha 01V96.
With a laptop connected to it, VNC software, and a router, I can in fact operate it with an Ipad. Kinda clunky, but it actually works fairly well.
Most of my shows need less than 16 channels so I double-assign channels, with one 01V96 fader layer for Monitors, another for House.
This essentially provides separate Monitor and House mixers with only shared gains, allowing for separate EQ and compression on each input's Monitor and House channel.
The DL32R, with inputs freely assignable to any channel(s), looks like a good replacement for the 01V96.
It has most of the features I need, and I can figure work-arounds for most wants.
I really like that an Ipad can be hard-wire docked in the DL1608, in case there are significant wireless issues.
At the same time, with a good router, I have had very good connection uptime with the DL1608 and wireless Ipads.
So am willing to gamble with the DL32R here.
And would have a spare Ipad, router, and mixer!
(It would be sweet to have the ability to hard-wire connect a laptop with an ethernet cable and have it run a Master Fader program ... )
My questions:
) Other than wifi issues, have you had any other sort of reliability problems with the DL32R?
Any idea how it might hold up longer term?
) The USB direct-recording-to-hard-drive has essentially no monitoring. Has USB recording been solid for you, or have you had issues?
A quick thanks to Mackie for getting Master Fader V3.1 stable and reasonably fast on an Ipad-3, in spite of all of Apple's updates!
And thanks for My Fader V3 too.
Thanks and good health, Weogo
