Three operating modes
Mackie has made it easy to use the DLZ Creator XS. The company outfitted this digital mixer with three skill-based modes, with the touchscreen transforming accordingly for each:
- Easy Mode:Â Perfect for beginners. Easy mode provides automated setup and processing, plus a task-based workflow so you can focus on results instead of settings.
- Enhanced Mode:Â Provides greater control over the mix without overwhelming you with options. You get deeper processing, control over the effects, and an expanded channel setup.
- Pro Mode:Â Optimized for experienced producers. Pro Mode gives you total control over every parameter, including EQ, processing, effects, and more. It also provides two independent headphone buses.
All-new features
Due to increased features and capabilities, the DLZ Creator XS makes great outcomes easy. Mackie loaded the mixer with English, Simplified Mandarin, Spanish, Japanese, and more to make it accessible. Next, the 7-inch touchscreen and assignable rotary encoders provide tactile control over EQ curves and other settings. Next, the 6-pack of assignable pads activates samples, sound effects, and eight storage banks. You may assign censor, duck, and fade controls using this feature.

Compatible with dual PC setups
Content makers and livestreamers use many machines nowadays. This small digital mixer sends and receives audio with ultra-low latency via NDI. NDI lets you link the DLZ Creator XS to a second computer or numerous devices in different places.
