There is a 270 page manual. (240 pages apply to Master Fader 3.0) I had to go looking for the record button too. That is something that I would rather never disappeared and instead was greyed out when unavailable. Get the manual. MF3.0 is a large upgrade and a good one. I love groups and missed them after moving away from my first Mackie mixer. View groups and mute groups get a serious workout for my Senior variety shows. I understand VCAs now, but don't see how they will help me. I'm sure somebody is putting them to serious use. The DL1608 was never a toy, but it has matured very nicely with this software upgrade. (Leading into the DL32R nicely.) Thanks Mackie!
