    True. For the single podcaster, that would be a waste of money.

    Hey Dave! Great seeing you here

    I agree with you on that. If you do 1 or two shows weekly I do not think its necessary to have a 2000 dollar mixer. Now in my case we have 20 different hosts and 13 different shows on our network Each time we start a show a show we need to adjust the levels for that person. With something like the Presonus we could program the settings for each of those broadcasters.

    If you have the hardware already, if you are looking for something that is solid in reliability and/or are not a tinkerer then stick to something physical. Joe posted in one of the other groups on here with the details. It is a great idea if you are comfortable with the recording studio firewire hardware and software.

    Red face

    Am I crazy? I've already got several iDevices and I'm looking seriously at the Mackie DL1608 Digital mixer with:

    16 Onyx mic preamps
    High-end Cirrus Logic® converters
    Ultra low-noise, high-headroom design
    6 aux sends for monitor mixes
    Master L/R output for mains
    Tons of Built-In Processing

    Choice of powerful, touch-sensitive plug-ins
    4-band EQ, gate and compression for each input
    31-band GEQ and comp/limiter on each output
    Global reverb and delay

    Intuitive Master Fader™ app for all iPad models
    My Fader™ app for quick control from iPhone or iPod touch
    “Grow and Glow” visual feedback
    Preset and snapshot recall
    Record the mix to the iPad for instant sharing
    Integrate music from any app into the mix

    Compact footprint saves precious workspace
    15.5″ x 11.5″ x 3.9″
    7.9 lbs / 3.6 kg
    Lightning and 30-pin versions available

    I can connect everything to the interface, leave my iPad in it, if I choose, and it will charge or slide it out and use it remotely. In other words, slide the interface and cables completely across the room... out of my way and control the mix and episode with just an iPad, iPod in front of me. Note, the DSP is in the interface... the iPad is just a controller. Plus, my guests can control their mix with their iDevice. The darn thing even includes a dedicated channel for itunes. I spoke with one of their engineers and they are working on integrating their app with the "Audiobus" app, which opens tons of other doors for other audio apps on an iPad. It will even work with "Auria" a sweet 48 channel DAW made for the iPad. Somebody please tell me I'm loosing my marbles for considering this. I think I need an intervention from the "Pod Squad" McPhillips, Andrew, Sunkast, or Mike Myers because the sticker price on this is only $999. What say you?

    To be fair, you should watch the podcast videos about this mixer under "DL Series Podcasts," especially the 1st and 8th videos. The first shows the interface with I/O's and their oldest version of the iOS mixing app, the 8th shows their latest version of the Mixing app with it's coolest upgrades. Just say'n

    8th Video:



    Yea... I've lost it

    Makie has made dock adaptors for every ipad from 1 up, along with ipad mini, and they have replaceable connectors for both 30 pin and lightning.

    I would personally stay away from anything that requires a 3rd party product. There are people using Mixers for 10 years. No one here can predict what an iPad will be like in 10 years.
