hi Scott,

I wish that were the solution - this is a brand spankin' new Mackie Universal Control.

I have a suspicion that my USB router is the culprit. CrazyHorse, are you using a USB router in your setup?

Whenever I turn on my MUC, I lose functionality from the other devices hooked up to the router (keyboard, mouse). It is a power-drawing router, and it seems that the MUC is sucking out the juice (even though the router is plugged in to AC power..

Prior to my new setup (I recently moved my Mac Pro into an adjacent room to limit noise in my listening space), my control surface was running off of the USB ports on the back of my Apple Monitor - and worked just fine.

Now I'm using extended USB cables to feed my devices... could this be affecting my control surfaces performance? Like I noted earlier, moving faders in PT will control my MUC, but not vice-versa..
