Hi I have a mackie 16/8 trying to get kick drum to come through iem’s but not able to work it out can you help cheers chas

[@MauroDoninibrotherjake]

ANY idea of why, using the hearphones output, I hear an huge lag of sound? I mean is huge like...i speak into the mic (no chain effect applied, only straight signal from mic to phones) and I hear my voices 200-300 msec later! I cant find anything in the settings to get rid of this. Thanks for any suggestions...

[@BandOnABudgetNZ]

are you connected to a laptop or computer via the USB port on the mackie as well?

[@AudiaciousLife]

I work with a band where the guitarist and bassist changes instruments, and i need different settings for each, can you have presets for individual channels or can you only do full shows?

[@BandOnABudgetNZ]

Yes you can store/save and recall presets for each channel OR you can save the overall "Show/scene" for when you change. preset channels work best when each musician needs a specific EQ, Compression, Gain settings but you can also do this with the FX channels. The "Show/Scene" presets/saves work well when there is a large changeover in the band lineup, channel settings, add/remove musicians. An example of this would be when you are hosting an open mic night and need to switch quickly between a duo setup to a band setup. Or if you had to work with 3 bands for a music event, you can name the Show XYZ and then within that stored show you can save 3 different "Snapshots", one for each band with different mixes, settings, EQ, FX etc. This mixer is an absolute game changer and makes setup and pack down easy and quick.

can i have channels on VCAs and a subgroup at the same time?

[@dejidocemo5445]

@@BandOnABudgetNZ Thanks. I am just trying to level my in ears aux channel easily. I play drums and lead so I swap a lot on both. I was hoping for an easy way to raise the drums in my aux when I'm playing and reduce it when I'm leading.

[@jeffmaestro]

I know this is late but the answer is, yes you can.

[@didjesbydan]

I'm trying out the Master Fader app on my android phone before buying the DL16S. But nothing above the pan slider shows up. There is no way to see any of the effects controls.

[@BandOnABudgetNZ]

Phones will have limited access. You need a PC/Macbook or Tablet. I contacted Mackie tech support about this and they said its not a limitation due to the phone its the screen size ratio and pixels. So larger screens can support ALL the finer details of the apps features. Hope that helps

[@didjesbydan]

Thanks!

[@boomshanker7]

Hey dude, could you possibly talk faster and open and close options more quickly please?

[@BandOnABudgetNZ]

😂 sorry if I am but Yes I could lol but that's what the speed adjustment in the settings is for
