Master Fader v3.0 is compatible with all DL Series mixers (DL32R, DL1608, and DL806). While some features are specific to the 32-channel DL32R, which boasts additional hardware features, there are plenty of powerful upgrades for DL1608 and DL806 users.

Brand-new features include the addition of 4 subgroups and 4 VCAs. These new grouping options deliver mix management tools critical for professional applications. Subgroups can be stereo-linked and feature dedicated processing. VCAs offer flexible control over groups of channels. Users can dial in the mix and get single-fader control over groups like drums, guitars and more.

Also new is the overview screen, which delivers at-a-glance information for all input and output channels, allowing simple, fast navigation. Users will also benefit from the addition of digital trim to each DL1608/DL806 input.

“With digital trim, you get more mobile control than ever before,” commented Olswang. “Just get the preamp gain in the ballpark and adjust as needed from anywhere in the venue. It truly frees you to mix from anywhere.”

New features also include the ability to patch any output to the DL1608/DL806record path. Now, users can select exactly which outputs they want to record. This is great for creating a completely separate recording mix from what is in the left/right mix.

With Master Fader v3.0, users can now choose a color for each channel, providing immediate visual grouping for easy identification. Also added are enhanced headphone controls including level and delay for seamless remote listening. Plus, users can now easily export presets, shows and even the entire system via email,Dropbox and iTunes.

 “All of these new features mean serious improvements to workflow for any DL Series user,” remarked Olswang. “Master Fader has been updated more often, with more new features added, than any other live sound control app out there. We are happy to provide more and more functionality to our DL community.”

Master Fader v3.0 also features a tremendous amount of changes to the user interface to deliver increased workflow flexibility, improved speed and ease-of-use.

“We are dedicated to continuously improving Master Fader’s workflow through simple App Store updates,” remarks Olswang. “Each of these user interface updates delivers real-world results that make wireless mixing more intuitive and easy to teach and learn.”

With DL32R you get even more out of Master Fader, with specific tools and features designed to effortlessly mix up to 32-channels of audio, including wireless control over multi-track direct-to-disk recording and playback.
