Shows - Offline and duplicates
« on: November 27, 2014, 04:33:20 AM »
In the reference guide (pg. 149) is states at the bottom of the page "Each iPad that is offline is unique. in other words, multiple varying snapshots and shows may be created on each iPad. This is something to be aware of when reconnecting". The way I read this is that the duplicate show issue continues to be an issue. I've gotten around this issue by making the docked iPad the master, but if I make any offline changes to the remote iPad, I end up with multiple duplicate shows. I was hoping Mackie would have fixed this in 3.0. May not be as much of an issue with the DL32R since there is no docked iPad. Determining what duplicate show to delete is a real PITA. On my remote iPad, I actually have 4 duplicates of the same show.  How hard would that be to fix?

I just assumed that no one else was experiencing this.  It is a low priority issue.  It would be larger if it randomly deleted shows.  On the other hand, the fact that we're discussing this indicates how much work Mackie did on this upgrade.  It does seem like the pink noise issue is gone and the dock sync problem appears to be a low charge on the ipad.  (And a weak charging source on the DL.)   I've come to the conclusion that Mackie may have rewritten almost all of the base software of Master Fader.  That would explain much of the differences in appearance besides the extra goodies.  Don't get me wrong, but that is a lot of work and might have been easier than finding the offending problems.  I am still very impressed.  This upgrade was so good, that I would have gladly paid for it.

...ssh, don't give them any  ideas!


Other then the choppy movement I too am impressed with the upgrade.
As far as duplicates, now that you can add comments, I put a date and show info in the box.
If I end up with a duplicate, I just delete it.

Hope everyone here, as well as our friends at Mackie has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
