S3 + Mackie Control or HUI
Hey All,
Loving my S3 in ProTools - so glad I went for this over the alternatives on the market as it's really well implemented in ProTools. It'd be GREAT however, to be able to use it with some of my other software. I regularly flick into RME TotalMix and occasionally Reaper. I've enabled HUI and Mackie Control in the EuCon app but I can't get it to play ball with the S3 at all. Is this possible? If so, what am I missing? Thanks! Alex |

Re: S3 + Mackie Control or HUI
I have definitely been able to control Totalmix before.... and just tried again. Mmmm, I cannot get it to work again either.
I have also used it with Ableton Live 9 and will check that out later on today.

Re: S3 + Mackie Control or HUI
So it's certainly do-able? That's good to hear.
I love my S3 but I'm finding it a little restrictive to only be able to use it in ProTools at the moment, especially considering the price. Any help here would be greatly appreciated, if anyone has it to offer. Thanks! Alex |

Re: S3 + Mackie Control or HUI
Reaper supports Eucon. Works very well with S3.
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=122509 The last time I tried Mackie Protocol with S3 it was a nightmare... But that was in 2015 when S3 was introduced.

Re: S3 + Mackie Control or HUI
Unfortunately the EuCon plugin for Reaper is extremely buggy, with both the S3 and the Artist series.
The surfaces work fine, but the whole DAW grinds to a halt and crashes regularly. I've tried it on numerous setups and always had the same issue. For example, deleting a track in Reaper gives you a ~10-15 second lock-up and the occasional complete crash. Mackie Control support would be the best option I think! |

Re: S3 + Mackie Control or HUI
I tried using my S3 for Audiokinetic Wwise.
In MackieControl mode, I get following knobs and faders to work for each channel: fader, lower encoder, sel, solo, mute, "ín" (next to the lower encoder.) However, only faders 1 and 9 respond to Wwise and they seem to respond to respond to the last active fader in the sofware of their group, i.e. if I have 11 faders in Wwise, fader 1 of the S3 would show the value of fader 8 in Wwise; fader 9 on the s3 would match fader 11 of Wwise, as if the midi channel is being ignored. Also, faders and encoders are useless as they don't send out any linear values but raher some seemingly random values at the edges of the range. HUI mode doesn't work at all. No buttons, faders or encoders are recognized and I get BSOD's all the time. My AVID Transport isn't recognised at all, although it shows Wwise as the active app on it's display. The software works perfectly fine with my digi003, so it's not an issue on the Wwise part. Any thoughts or plans to make this work as advertised on the Avid side?

Re: S3 + Mackie Control or HUI
Thanks Eddie! The control (s3 and artist mix) both seem great, but I use ableton a ton, so I'm interested in hearing from people who did (or didn't) get it working.
I've been able to get the pro control iPad app to work, so I'm thinking it will. But it's a big purchase... So I'm checking around. Thanks. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |

Re: S3 + Mackie Control or HUI
Yes if the iPad can control the faders then EUCON is connected all the way through so the S3 or Mix would also work.
