Presets - Mackie DL806 Reference Manual

Mackie DL806 and DL1608 Reference Guide

Presets

Presets save parameters on individual input or output channels and on particular DSP blocks such
as EQ, dynamics, FX, graphic EQ, etc. For example, a favorite kick drum EQ setting may be saved
as a preset and recalled as needed. Presets are not associated with a particular show, snapshot
or channel. In other words, a preset may be created while one show is active and recalled again
into a different show.
The mixer comes with a library of factory presets. A maximum of 18 factory presets will be displayed
at one time. Just scroll up to view the other factory presets, if available. There are also user presets.
These may be created for each preset type. The number of user presets available is limited only by the
available space on the iPad. Presets are generally set ahead time, not as an event is taking place.
Presets are stored on the iPad, not the mixer.
The following preset types are available:
• Input channel (as seen in the image above)
• Output channel
• Gate
• Compressor
• EQ
• Graphic EQ (user presets only)
• Reverb
• Delay
The first thing we will do is take a look at factory presets vs user presets. From there, channel presets
and DSP presets may be selected [factory] or created [user].
