Seeing that 5 next to ms, doesn't fill me with that much confidence... and it's mono. It looks like they've taken the guitar wireless, flipped it and put a headphone amp on the receiver. It may work for you, depending upon your signal chain and the cumulative latency. Stageclix do something similar (not at the same price point though)

Somewhat rare? Umm. I think I'd disagree with that one!

Ipad Mini Gen 1 still ok for Mackie Master Fader app?
EBS_freak replied to lemmywinks's topic in Accessories and Misc
I don’t think so - typically you’d filter for iPhone apps in the App Store and install an iPhone app onto an iPad... but because they are one and the same app in mf4, I don’t think so. You are stuck with the full fat app on the iPad. -

MyFader is deprecated I believe. From MF4 onwards the same app download is used for both monitor mixes and iPad mixes - the software presents the monitor mix on iPod touch and iPhone and the full app on the iPad. -

Maybe have a look at something like an iPod touch or a phone if you are looking solely at monitor mixes. The monitor mix app (even though it is the same download) is more responsive as there’s a lot less going on. For example, I have a iPhone 5s that is quite happy for monitor mixes. Obviously it can’t do the whole foh stuff - and also, check which phones can support the newer mf5.1 (if it’s ever released) if you want to continue using it. It’s quite nice having a device you can keep in your back pocket for quick mix adjustments. -

I can only guess so. It feels like the 4th gen only needs a bit more oomph. It works... but wouldn't choose to pick it up if theres something a little better available. Would have to ask why mini? Because you will appreciate the larger real estate when messing with faders and the like. -
Sooooooo what are Stagg rebranding? Shure are gonna be taking a beating on all these lower priced multi driver IEMs.

Don't bother with older iPads with the Mackie DL32R. I have a 2012 (4th gen) and a 2018 (6th gen) iPad. The 4th gen is slow and clunky as mentioned - although it does work, it won't run 5.1 if that ever materialises. There's nothing on that iPad apart from MF4 and the faders are a bit "sticky". It'll get you by I guess (as it does me) - but may be a little frustrating at times. I'd plump for a 5th gen as a minimum. -
And before anybody says it.... we now all now know the secret behind how EVH got the brown sound...

I call BS on that. He may have done that - but it would have the opposite effect of deadening them. The salt and acetic acid from the vinegar in the ketchup will actually clean the strings... (although on a brand new set of strings, I'd say the difference pre and post ketchup would be minimal, or more likely, have no impact whatsoever.

All good - but white power cables across stages? Vom.

Who did Johnny? Capaldi?

Fret wrap... for tapping freaks and lazy B string muters everywhere. -
@lemmywinks running in stereo is a big improvement over mono. In your Aux setup, set up link over channels on your Aux bus view so Aux output 1/2 become Aux 1 (stereo). Then you can pan your channels independent of FoH. Repeat this for Aux outputs 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 (annoying how output is on far right and far left of patch bay), 9/10 etc...

Just thought, if you got a DL32R, I'm guessing that you are going to be wanting stereo - Check this thread out for connectivity options - https://community.musictribe.com/t5/Recording/Using-the-Powerplay-P2-for-Wired-IEM/m-p/237996

Suspect it will be a while yet... I've been on the beta testing team. Looking good but progress isn't anywhere near as quick you'd hope eh?

The Behringer is probably built better than the Fischer unit. Having had some P2s in my arsenal for some time, the only real downside is the battery clip inside. In normal circumstances, it's fine... but if the unit is ever dropped (which you shouldn't do - but it can happen), the chances are the batteries will jump out of the clip and the unit won't power up. It's easy to fix - just pull the housing apart (as you would to replace the battery) and reinsert the battery. It's a small gotcha but can be frustrating in the heat of the moment when the thing won't power up and you forget about this little quirk and you know that the unit has fresh batteries in it. The main difference between the the P1 and P2 is the fact that the P1 enables two balanced feeds to give you a stereo signal whereas the P2 is only balanced in mono and unbalanced if you run stereo. For most people this is a point not worth mentioning - but obviously, in problematic environments, the unbalanced feed can give you noise on the line, so to speak. Battery wise, it's worth getting into the habit of getting rechargeables and getting them charged for every gig. Having said that, the battery lifes on both of these units are pretty good and will easily get you through a few gigs. However, nobody wants to look like a clown when the power goes down mid gig and you are scrabbling around to replace batteries. The mix function of the P1 is generally for dual mono where one feed is from the PA, and one is a "more me" function where you can boost/cut your own feed in relation to the other feed. I personally don't like them... especially if you are using modern desks where you have control over the whole mix from a tablet or phone anyway. It certainly wouldn't be a make or break feature for me. The other thing mentioning is that the P2 is designed to clip onto your belt. The P1 is a bit clumsy in this respect. With two XLRs hanging off it, it can be quite a weight. You'll want a twin core XLR to minimise the trailing cables... or better still, use it as a headphone amp and get a headphone extender... but then you should take into account that your headphone extender is unbalanced also...

Wow. Great save from a bad situation. If it's any consolation, I think this bass really suits being headless.

Good effort!

Well, the Midas DP48 is certainly floating my boat. Of course, what I am waiting for with baited breath... is the new Behringer Wing...
