Re: Mackie MCU Pro duplicating Master Fader Track

As far as I can remember, it's always been this way. If you have a multiple-output interface, you can instantiate Master Fader tracks for each output - there isn't necessarily only one Master Fader.

Re: No reliable, affordable motorised control surfaces for D

I use an MCU Pro. Basic volume automation works great. Plug-in editing is increasingly problematic; MCU-controlled automation of third-party plug-ins has been broken for some time (my Tech Note on this issue dates from 2015), and with 9.5 automation of even MOTU plug-ins now appears to be broken. Mo...

Re: 32 bit Float question for Magic Dave

Just out of curiosity (and some ignorance thrown in for good measure)-- I'd like to understand the difference between RESOLUTION and GAIN where the bit format is concerned. When DP is using a 32-float, does the factor of it being "float" mean that it is interpreting the 32 bits to have a ...

Re: DP 9 - Motu Audio System turning off repeatedly

I am having problems with this, as well. In my case, it seems to be related to system audio (alerts, for instance) playing through the same audio hardware as MAS. I'm using a 16A via USB, fwiw. I filed a ticket with MOTU about 6 months ago. Interesting to think that it might be related to MAS in DP9...

I appreciate the confirmation. I guess it's DP related then.
If you have time, open a techlink with MOTU. The more people they hear from, the more likely it is that they'll bump up the priority.

Re: Mackie Control Send Out, Input, Output Selection in DP 9

I have a MCU sitting here on my WS desk but have not turned it on in several years. I just figured its not compatible any more. In general, the MCU is solid with DP. Mostly I use it for volume, pan, mute, solo, rec enable - hardware controls are great for that stuff. I have an open issue with MOTU ...

Re: Mackie Control Send Out, Input, Output Selection in DP 9

I just tried selecting track inputs and outputs, along with send outputs. I initially used firmware 4.0.2, and then upgraded to firmware 4.0.3 (thanks, didn't know about that before!) and confirmed again. As you describe, the display notes the parameter name (e.g. "Send 1 output, of track Bass&...

Re: A new Fader port 8 released...anyone got this....

Note that HUI protocol (developed for the original HUI) is different from MCU (Mackie Control Universal) protocol. Mackie Controls come with the option to use either one. Third parties typically use the older HUI protocol, as opposed to the newer MCU; not sure why, but perhaps because it's easier to...

Re: He did it again Slate

The real problem I see with vintage mics is vacuum tubes. NOS tubes are becoming scarce and the few that are being manufactured now are crap as far as I can tell. Manley sells plenty of tubes, some of them new (and if they're good enough for Manley...): http://www.tubesrule.com/category_s/57.htm I ...

Re: He did it again Slate

I'm sure that this product will make some people happy. I wouldn't sell a Blue Bottle for it, though. $1,000 is pretty inexpensive for a mic, a preamp, and bundled software. If you look at what an ultra-transparent preamp costs (think Millennia, Grace, Earthworks), and then at what it costs for a so...

Re: DP 9.1 is here

I don't have CLA-2A (or the Mackie MCU Pro) so I can't test this. If you can come up with an example using Trueverb, I can try to reproduce it. MOTU already says that they have reproduced this with the MCU, so probably further verification isn't necessary. At the time, I asked if they saw this with...

Re: DP 9.1 is here

I've confirmed this with 9.1 now, using a selection of plug-ins (Waves, Sound Toys, Fab Filter, Cytomic). So, it's still there, and it's not just a Waves issue. Since automation starts to work again after touching the plug-in's on-screen UI, it seems like a different facet of the same bug being dis...
