V.3.0 features third party plug-in support, and many new surround sound mixing features, innovative networking capabilities, and many new user-requested features.

Scott Garside, Mackie's Recording Products Market Manager states, "As intuitive and easy to use as an analog console, the D8B is the only mid-sized digital console that was designed by large-console automation specialists. Its software was created by seasoned recording engineers with years of hands-on experience using every major automated console design. Now, with 3.0 software, forthcoming 3rd-party plug-ins and a matching hard disk recorder, the D8B has truly come into its own as the leading pro audio industry production platform. Mackie Designs is very proud and honored to be able to provide this revolutionary upgrade to our loyal D8B owners."
