Euphonix / Avid MC Transport DP8 scrub problem.

Post by Phippers »

Hello,

I am new to DP8 and I'm trying to get editing working using a Euphonix / Avid MC Transport control surface.

The problem I'm having is that scrubbing is very "laggy" - I turn the (physical) scrub wheel and nothing happens for ~ 1 second and then scrubbing starts in DP8. When I stop moving the wheel the scrubbing continues in DP8 for 1 - 2 seconds.

The scrub speed also seems fairly erratic - it's basically useless for scrubbing to find an edit point.

However scrubbing works OK with the scrub tool and a mouse.

Is there some setup that needs a tweak - or is this just how it is?

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks,

Paul.

Bad news my friend. Since Euphonix fell into the hands of AVID things were no so good for Logic, DP... non-protools-users.
I've got a better performance with my cheap shuttleXpress jog than with more expensive MCControl jog... For the time being I only use the MCControl touchscreen for DP shortcuts :?

I use my Euphonix MC Control scrub wheel all the time. I have no slow response problems. Could it be that you have something weird in EuControl Settings/General? I have my wheel sensitivity at the default center position and Global selected. Otherwise check your Motu Harwdare setup / studio setup settings. I run at 1024 with two interfaces and don`t have your problem.
