Who's going to be the first to upgrade before a busy weekend of shows?

I volunteer as tribute... maybe....

A day early wow! Let the fun begin. Just have to find the quiet power-supply. I dusted off the DL1608 the other day. Going with Android first. No gigs for a while
 and never with the DL1608. Still no PC version (dead link) not concerned about Mac.

The PC Version works fine. Have not tested Mac yet as Macbook Pro (2019) is such a disappointment that I only ever open it to help clients diagnose problems with theirs.

This is what I get using their link.  The requested page "/sit/sites/default/files/Master%20Fader%20v5.1%20Setup.zip" could not be found. . Do you have another link for this?

I edited my original post and added the links for Mac and PC

Here's the Winderz version:

Thanks got it. It still doesn't run on the Bluestacks emulator for Android. Too Bad.
Adding a shelf to my closet has higher priority right now though.

The Android version does not run on any 32bit ARM (v7) AFAIK running Android V9. It gives you a "Your device isn't compatible with this version" message. Too bad Mackie doesn't make this a minimum requirement so you don't waste your time. Clarification the Playstore gives the error message above.
This should prove interesting. "o   If you are using a 32-Bit Android device, please contact our support team and they will assist you"

So far the offline version runs fine on W7. May get some surprise down the road. Now where did I put that power supply?
W10 off-line seems to work as well.

I read that it doesn't work on 32 bit Android somewhere before downloading it even, there was a note....

The older iPads that don't have IOS 11 on them also don't work.  So don't waste your time on those either - they tell you it requires IOS 11+

i downloaded the windows version (from the link) and tried running the setup. It was flagged by my semantic anti virus program and got quarantined. Any one else had similar issue or it is just me?

Trend Micro didn't like it either, and windows defender even whined....    So yeah, their installer is giving off some false positives.       I have it on a sandboxed computer and once installed, there were no oddities.

So, has anyone tried recording multitrack direct to disk?  Any changes that I should be aware of?

Still using the multitrack wav format?

Does it work with thumbdrives or still only standard usb hard drives?

[JohnMHoyt]

It's scary quiet! You guys didn't upgrade yet?

I have one DL32R upgraded, but didn't use it tonight. I am doing a multitrack recording and 5 camera video shoot on Sunday, and after that is done, I'll upgrade the production rig and let you know how it works with my band at rehearsal and upcoming shows.
