Chapter 1: Welcome

Master Fader V2.0 / My Fader V2.0

This is the new-and-improved version of the DL Series Reference Guide. The goal of our ninja-like Engineering team is to continue to make your experience even better, so the DL Series mixers and Master Fader / My Fader apps may be updated at any time. Be sure you are always using the latest version of each, as specific releases are designed to work together. This version of the Reference Guide is written

and designed to pair with Master Fader V2.0, My Fader V2.0 and the corresponding mixer firmware installed by these apps. With so many frequent changes, some screen shots may look slightly different than what you see within these pages and there could be some functional differences, as well.

About This Guide

***We strongly encourage checking out the Quick Start Guide before diving into this Reference Guide*** It is a great way to familiarize yourself with the basic ideas of the DL806 and DL1608, how to switch between

views, add color to a mix, gates & compressors, FX, graphic EQ and much more. Once you do that, this will be a breeze!

This guide is designed to be accessible, with subsections as complete as practical to minimize having to leaf back and forth looking for the whole story. The entire guide does not need to be read to figure out how to use this console. However, a certain amount of familiarity with analog mixing consoles, their features, and commonly used signal processing (compressors, limiters, gates, EQs) is assumed.

This Reference Guide covers both mixers. The differences between the two are noted throughout. If not specifically noted, operation is the same for both mixers.

The gain knobs adjust the input sensitivity of the mic and mic/line inputs. This allows signals from the outside world to be adjusted to run through each channel at optimal internal operating

Two Main Views

Throughout this Reference Guide we will be talking quite a bit about views. The good thing, though, is that there are only two main views in the Master Fader app: mixer view and channel view. This is just an overview of what you can accomplish with each view. Soon enough we will go through each of these in detail in the upcoming sections.

This is important so focus!

Mixer View

Mixer View

Visible and ready for action in the mixer view are:

(1)the channel strips which occupy the majority of the screen.

(2)the master fader strip which resides vertically on the far right of the screen.

(3)the navigation bar which lies horizontally at the top of the screen.

So the mixer view is where you adjust the key mixing controls for all channels at once. If you would like to adjust the individual channel processing, you need to go to the channel view. Tapping the EQ curve at the top of any channel leads you there.

Channel View

processing is adjusted on individual channel inputs and outputs. This includes channel EQ, channel gate and compression, FX, graphic EQ and output compression and limiting.

Mackie DL806 and DL1608 Reference Guide

Current Parameter Display — The current parameter display is conveniently located dead-center on the navigation bar at the top of whatever view is open. It constantly updates to display the channel and the value of the current parameter being adjusted. However, this is not just a point of reference. Tap the current parameter display and a keyboard appears. Here you may enter the exact value you would like for that parameter. Sometimes multiple parameters may be changed. For example, both the gain and frequency may be updated on each EQ band, as seen below.

While one fader controls the output level of each output, each output is independent of the others. Once the selected output has been chosen, touch and drag the master fader up and down to make adjustments.

The output meter displays the output signal level. The output meter is presented in mono

or stereo depending on the selected output. It is stereo for LR and linked auxes and FX sends.
