I love this set up My dads been in a band as long as I can remember n I’ve always help them wit setting up n stuff n I’ve recently began sound after apprenticing under the old sound guy n he recently lost the position n I took over but for a new sound guy this system is really user friendly n I’m learning very quickly once u figure out how to navigate threw the system, which isn’t hard at all, u can figure everything else out wit ease. Especially if ur someone who has been doin sound for awhile it will all look familiar n after learning navigation to know where all ur options r u should know exactly how to use the program I’m still learning the program jus cuz I’m still learning sound but like I said anyone who’s been doing sound will have no problem at all wit this program n will find that it will make life easier

Most underrated mixer in its segment

I run audio all over and on many nice mixers. The DL32r is a runaway success. Show after show, people ask what mixer we are using and are shocked it’s “only a Mackie”. I tell them to listen to their ears and they have to agree it is an amazing mixer. Flexible routing and applications make it a winner for sure. It’s equally at home in the studio as it is live. I love using both subgroups and DCA’s in live shows. And bands love it when I record multitrack and they have an option to buy their tracks. I even will play some live mixes as post show playback right after the event. The musicians can’t believe they sounded that good. Get this mixer... best option under $5k, and it costs less than $2k!

The iPhone screens are now much more useful than they were when this app originally launched. Really hoping the developers can consider adding more or full functionality to iPhones especially plus and max sizes. Current navigation on phone is really cumbersome. Would be great to have quicker access to mute group. Please add record/playback controls and EQ screen even if it’s just parameters and not dragging the graph. Finally if I connect constantly to just one device please automatically connect when it’s found on the network. Save me a frequent step.

I have been using the Dl32r with this app for a little over a year in a small church. It is absolutely amazing! I don’t have personal experience with other digital mixers, but I have seen some in other churches and watched videos online. The more I see of other digital boards, the more I love this system. On every single channel, you can see exactly what how the eq is set and what the gate and compressor are doing. You don’t have to mess with a small “select” button on the channel only to see one channel’s processing settings at a time in a corner at the opposite end of the board. It is all right there at a glance, for every channel! Every channel also has a very large signal meter that is the full height of the fader. Compare that to the 3-5 small led lights that some digital boards use for a signal meter! We use two iPads, one for the front of house mix, and one for our online stream. We have two completely separate mixes all from one system, and we could have many more if needed!Some don’t like the idea of not having physical faders, but in my opinion, not having them is a small price to pay for the ease of use, amazing functionality, and being able to see exactly what each channel is doing at a glance without having to hit a button that only shows you what one channel is doing anyway. Download the app, play with it a bit, watch online videos on it, and you may get hooked.I have watched videos on Allen and Heath’s QU series, and Yamaha’s TF series. I briefly looked at a Behringer X32. I also have more than a dozen digital mixer apps on my iPad to try out in demo mode. I don’t have as much experience with them, but from what I have seen, none of them make near as much sense as this app right here. If you need to see more channels at a time, you can add another iPad. If you have to have physical faders, you can add Mackie’s DC16 to the system. This may not be the right solution for everyone. There may be some special functions or features that would require a different mixer, but this mixer is amazing! Thank you Mackie! 5 stars just doesn’t seem like a high enough rating for something so well done.
