Chapter 20 : Mackie My Fader Software
Introduction
Version 3.0 of My Fader is currently being violated by our Engineering team, making sure it is in tip-top
shape before being made available to you...and me, too. If you’re interested in what My Fader is and what it
can do for you , please read on...
Do you want to control the mix via iPhone or iPod touch? Of course you do! Well, you’ve come to the right
place! At this point, you must be well-versed in – or at least somewhat familiar with – the ins and outs of
Master Fader. Because My Fader is basically an outlined version of Master Fader, it looks and works similarly
to that of Master Fader, but just on a much smaller scale. They function quite similarly so the learning curve
is kept to a minimum. It’s great for easy, fast access to key controls needed during a show.
My Fader allows control of the DL32R, DL1608 and DL806 mixers via Wi-Fi from an iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 5C
and/or iPod touch (4th and 5th generation). Version 3.0 features touch-friendly control over multiple input
channels at once and a mix selector for quick access to any mix.
The addition of channel muting, detailed channel ID and metering and the inclusion of a master fader
provide unmatched control. Plus, an access control feature limits users to only control their assigned output,
keeping them away from other outputs. This is great for simple on-stage control of monitor mixes.
Also included is the ability to recall any snapshots from the current show on the mixer. This way, bands are
able to control the whole mix from the stage.
Last, but not least, users have the ability to enable/disable mute groups and select view groups. Mute
groups are great for muting all inputs in-between sets (for just one example), while view groups displays
only the input channels you want, hiding the others.
With My Fader, you benet from the full power of a digital mixer with an easy-to-use application that ts
right in your hand.
