User Reviews

The reviews agree the app is easy to use and offers strong flexibility as a software mixer, but major shortcomings center on Android-specific connectivity and compatibility. Users report frequent failures to connect to Mackie hardware, device/Android-version inconsistency, missing essential features on Android, and a perceived lack of timely support or updates. UI/UX quirks and lack of UI scaling further hamper usability.

Pros

Easy to use and generally reliable when it connects.
Flexible software-based mixer with custom view layers and full touch or mouse control.
Useful for building foldback mixes and improving workflow.
Detects Mackie hardware and allows access to mixer view when connected.

Cons

Frequent connectivity issues: Android DL mixer often fails to connect or shows outputs but doesn't load settings.
Inconsistent device/Android version compatibility (works on some devices; Android 14/15 UI issues; landscape panels missing).
Missing core features on Android (EQ, compression, FX rack), limited to monitor mixes, shows/downloads unavailable.
Perceived lack of updates/support for Android; Mackie seems to neglect Android users.
UI/UX fragmentation across devices (difficulty finding compressor on tablet; interface not scaling).

Needs updating for Android 15. Trim & EQ panels are not visible on the channel strip when viewing in landscape. There was a time when Mackie were all over things like this, but nowadays they seem to be more focused on making toys for the podcast market than supporting the users that have been investing in their gear for 30 years plus. I suppose the new owners didn't see the value in our previous purchases and so place no value in supporting us. I have now stopped buying Mackie products.
