Can this squeaky wheel get some grease, Avid?

Hi,

This is really important to me, Avid PLEASE reply. I would like the Artist Mix, but as an Ableton user I am very unsure. I thought it would work COMPLETELY 100% with the Mackie protocols...

I too have purchased an Artist Mix and have experienced problems.

The EuControl app opens on my mac every login. The EuControl app NEVER connects to the hardware unless EuControl app is quit and restart...Useless..

When finally connected, it works fine with PT 10 via EuCon.

The I've had the MackieControl work ONCE with Live 9 in my 1 1/2 years of owning the product. The rest of the time when Live starts everything on the Artist Mix gets bold as if its connected to something but doesn't react in any other way.

Beyond frustrated.

Kinda skimming a bit here at work, but I use the MC Control with Ableton all the time and I really like it. I have created full key commands for editing and I love using it. I dont use Pro Tools as much as Ableton.

Here is the link I have shared before. I had to re-do all the key commands for my hackintosh so they were command instead of control. I can re-upload the mac version if ya want. Otherwise change the keys from control to command. I dual boot all the time from mac to PC with the MC Control.

Also I have found that assigning one of the fader to the "Selected Channel" seems to work good for mixing in Ableton with the MC control.

Hope that helps, cant read the whole topic at the moment...

Here is the link

Thanks, Michael. The Artist Mix and the MC Control are different devices. The Artist Mix doesn't have a large screen, just the scribble strip.

Control: http://lghttp.17114.nexcesscdn.net/8...st_control.jpg

Mix: http://www.sweetwater.com/images/ite...Cmix-large.jpg

Do your channel vumeters work? On the Mix, the main vumeter shows on channel 1, no other channel vumeters work.

Can you use the knobs as channel sends?

Can you navigate to return channels?

Can you control plugins or rack macro knobs?

Do the mixer channels show 0db in Live and 0db at the fader? On the Artist Mix in Mackie Control Mode in Live, the faders are at +6 or so when Live's faders are at 0.
