As far as using the iPod strictly for the DL, if you only own the 1 ,to me that is kind of a waste as there is so many things you can do with it
other than the mackie app. Expensive toy for a single function.
Yes, I agree, but I already have an Android tablet, and have all the apps I need on that. I'm sure that, over time, I'll do more with the iPad Air. But, I figure that I spent $2K on the DL32R, and $500 on the iPad. So I got a complete mixer for $2500. That's pretty cheap consider that 5 years ago, a cheap digital mixer sold for 6 or 7,000 (I'm thinking of the Mackie TT24). And it didn't do near as much as the DL32R.
Sounds like got it covered on all bases. Very cool .
Totally agree on the overall value. Even with the 1608 and iPad its a total investment of $1,500 and considering
all the outboard "free" gear you couldn't have touched it before.
I also looked at the amount of gear I sold like 4 eq's, a mess of compressor/limiters, and a FX rack and when I looked at that in the formula the net was under $500.00 and I still kept a few odds and ends and my original board. Plus got an iPad i can use outside the mixer
On your fixed iPad you can always download a few apps like pink noise generator, decibel meters, frequency meters. Lots of free cool .
