I recently bought a new studio setup Mac G5 (dual) running OSX 10.2.7 Logic Platinum 6.3.2 Motu 828mkII midiman 8x8 Mackie Control Universal V2.1 Now my Xmas reading has been manuals so I haven't actually recorded anything on logic yet but looking forward to it. I do a lot of tv stuff until now on a VS1680 setup so this should be easier. However, I can't seem to get the Mackie control to work with logic and wondered if anyone might be able to offer any suggestions. I have it connected as follws: 828 firewired to G5 midiman USB to G5 Mackie (set to Logic control) midi'd to midiman Now for some reason if I touch a button on the Mackie I get a synth note from Logic! I got it to work for a brief moment then it died on me. I've tried Mackie tech support and they couldn't help really. Logic just can't seem to recognize the Mackie. Can anyone help? Thanks Steve |

Hey Steve,
What has happened with the frustrations, did they go away? Sounds like a case of software driver conflict, but would I know. I am interested in learning from your case history if ya don't mind sharing.

Hi,
In all honesty, after several calls to Sweetwater, Mackie and Emagic none of whom were able to help, I still don't really know. I think it probably was some kind of driver issue though. It all works now and very well too. I thought I had all the latest drivers as the system was brand new but I installed the drivers from the various manufaturer sites anyway and the problem seemed to solve itself. Cheers Steve |

Something I've picked up.
I like to purchase my software "in the box", as opposed to just downloading it. However, just because I purchased "it" today, that doesn't mean that "it" hasn't been sitting on the shelves of that brick&mortar store a month/day; a new driver might have been released an hour ago. Point? I load the shipped driver, after I've checked "their" website. Follow me?
