Logic Control to control Pro tools : Brilliant !!

[PGrealy]

Having recently taken delivery of a Logic Control ("LC") and the Digidesign Mbox, I was surprised to see that Emagic have written a driver to allow the Logic control to act as a hardware control surface for Pro Tools (including my Protools LE 5.2)

I downloaded the driver from www.emagic.de and followed the (reasonably complicated) instructions and WOW !!!

I loaded up the protools demo song (which is over 20 tracks with many plug ins) and the Logic Control seemed to work very well with it.

I rewrote some of the automation and tested out all the scroll/solo/mute/record ready buttons and together with the visual representation of the track names on the LCs visual display, it worked perfectly.

The download also contained a 40 page .pdf manual to guide you through the set up and implementation.

Even OMS seemed to work okay.

What can I say, well done Emagic. I believe that the Digi Motor mix is well and truly dead in the water now !!

If emagic could deliver a direct I.O driver for the Mbox, then I would be in Nirvana !!

Do you have logic as well? I heard you needed a logic key to run the controller.

Get the ASIO driver from these guys(~$50US) -- it works with Logic 5.x and the MBox.... You just have to create separate startup sets for Logic and PT/LE.

I'd heard about this but I had never really looked in to it until yesterday morning...

HOT DAMN look at that price!

(I've begun to hate when a product I want enters into the "affordable" range since it usually means I'll end up being unable to afford many other things for some time)

Yes I have logic Platinum 5.2.

I'd bet that Emagic will do something to allow you to use a controller outside of the Logic fold.

PGrealy:

LAP 5.2? Or, do you mean LAP 5.1?

[Kickin.da.speaker]

I don't even think Emagic has a beta of 5.2 yet. They are still working on 5.1.2 as we speak [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
