Mackie MCU Pro duplicating Master Fader Track
I've been happily using a Mackie MCU Pro & XT Pro for a while now with DP8. I just upgraded to DP9 and have a new little added irritation.
Before, when I added a Master Fader track in DP, the Mackie responded correctly by activating its Master section. Yay. Now, when I add the Master Fader track, the Mackie's Master section activates, but it also assigns one of the normal channel strips to the Master Fader track. Both faders work and mirror each other. It's a bit irritating to lose a precious channel strip on the Mackie with a double of the Master.
Any ideas to fix this?
All firmware and software is up to date, and I'm on Mac OSX 10.11.6.

I think I noticed that as well. You should report that in tech links to Dave and tell him Gary Brandt at Earth Island records also had this issue.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks for responding and letting me know. I did report it and heard back from Brendan that this is the first he's heard of this issue, so I was glad to just add your comment to the report.Timeline wrote:I think I noticed that as well.

Re: Mackie MCU Pro duplicating Master Fader Track
Its possible they haven't visited the Mackie software in a while. I have the original controller. I'm thinking they need to add for the legacy units in the setups as well.

Re: Mackie MCU Pro duplicating Master Fader Track
If I'm not mistaken, it's always been like that? To accommodate the fact that you ca have than one master fader in one chunk.

Re: Mackie MCU Pro duplicating Master Fader Track
I clearly remember bringing up 8 tracks on the MCU and switching banks. This cannot be so.

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.
