WOODINVILLE, W — Mackie noted recently that its DL1608 Digital Live Sound Mixer with iPad Control, unveiled earlier this year, will soon be available, and for anyone seeking more information on the product, they can turn to the company’s latest episode in its DL1608 video podcast series.
More details from Mackie (www.mackie.com):
Podcast episodes are designed to cover the basics, offer tips and tricks and get users into advanced uses. Episode 1 is an overview of the DL1608 hardware and software and the newly released Episode 2 dives into the input processing of the mixer. Later episodes will be completely based around customers’ responses to an upcoming poll on Facebook and Twitter.
“We’ve re-defined the concept of live mixing with the introduction of the DL1608, which takes digital, mobile mixing to a whole new level,” remarked Mackie Product Manager, Ben Olswang. “Since then, we’ve received an amazing amount of feedback from musicians, engineers and contractors wanting not only to know more, but to share their ideas. A video podcast series is the perfect platform to engage with these customers.”
