I've looked around quite a bit, and I don't see anything that directly applies, or at least solves my issue, so I'll go ahead and ask.
I just added an Artist Mix to my setup. I'm unable to get ProTools to connect to my Artist Mix. I'm using ProTools 12.8.3, EuControl 3.7.0 138, Firmware 1.5.4
- Artist Mix is directly connected to my Ethernet port on my Thunderbolt interface
- System Preferences/EUCON/Network Interface is set to Thunderbolt Ethernet
- IP address on Mac is manually assigned to 192.168.255.1/24
- IP address on Mix is manually assigned to 192.168.255.16/24
- I can ping the Mix from the Mac
- When Mix powers up, AVID logo appears in each channel on the Mix
- When EuControl starts up, the AVID logo disappears, and a long thing rectangle appears at the bottom of each Mix channel
- EuControl successfully communicates with MIX
- System Preferences/Firewall allows all incoming connections for all ProTools, Avid, and EuControl apps
- Wireshark shows TCP connection successful between Mix and Mac IP's
- Mix shows up in EuControl list of My Surfaces and All Surfaces
- Show Info pops up the name of the Mix, and the 1st channel on the MIX shows the name mix
- I can rename the MIX to anything, and this is reflected in the Show Info information
- I have successfully applied Update Firmware to version 1.5.4
- Vegas mode seems to work perfectly normally
So, from the above, it appears that
- The Mix is working expected
- The network connection between the Mix and the Mac work fine
- Mix is communicating properly with EuControl
Now, I go into Protools, and under Peripherals/Ethernet Controllers, I enable EUCON, and EUCON only. When I do this, a popup says Configuring Eucon.
Sometimes a few random tracks will become outlined in turquoise, but that's as far as I get. I can't get any other signs that anything is going on between ProTools and the Mix.
I've tried trashing all my Euphonix and Avid plists under ~/Library/Preferences. I've uninstalled and reinstalled EuControl a couple of times. I just don't see any improvement.
Any suggestions on a next step?
Thanks
