Assigning Groups on MC Control & Mix
So, I saw this thread on the Dock Forum. http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=396562
I was totally puzzled because I was sure this was a simple operation on the MC Control. So, I fired up Nuendo 8 and the control. I picked several drum tracks and linked them with the Quick Link feature in N8 (I'm sure there's an equivalent in PT). I hit the group knob, selected slot 1 in the Direct Out Bay, then selected the Drums Group channel. Done, all of the tracks went to that group. I couldn't believe they couldn't do the same with the dock. What did bother me was that I couldn't do the same with the Mix unit. I ran the exact same sequence as stated with the MC but for some reason, I could not assign anything to the 1st slot. Everything would go into slots 2 - 8 but not slot 1. I could only access it with the mouse/trackball. Why can't I select slot 1 with the knob set and then pick the knob that has the group channel I want to go into that slot? Here's my process: 1) Select Channels & link them. 2) Press the Group Knob 3) Press knob 1 to select slot 1 4) Press whatever knob has the group channel on it 5) Those channels should now be assigned to that group This procedure works just fine on the MC Control. But I don't get the same results on the Mix. What am I doing wrong on the Mix? |

Re: Assigning Groups on MC Control & Mix
Seriously, nobody can answer this for me?
It doesn't make any sense that the process would be any different between the 2 units. The MC instantiates on Slot 1, as directed. The Mix instantiates on any slot except Slot 1 as directed with the identical process. WHY? |

Re: Assigning Groups on MC Control & Mix
The knobs on the Mix work in 2 different modes, normal(one at a time) or channel (spilled across all 8) Have you tried this in both modes ?

The steps looked identical to the MC Control. Press the group button on both and you'd go into group set up. Both showed Slot 1 initially as "NO Bus." You'd press it and you'd end up in config mode on both. I'd page to the group I wanted on the Control, press it and it would show up in slot 1 of the direct out and the routing out slot of the Nuendo racks. I'd page to the group I wanted on the Mix, press it and it would show up in slot 2 (or any other slot except 1) of the direct out only. |

Re: Assigning Groups on MC Control & Mix
I THINK I figured it out. You have to push the Slot 1 knob twice before hitting the group knob to get the Mix to send the group assignment to Slot 1.
I don't understand why. You don't have to hit the Slot 1 knob twice on the MC Control to make it engage. But, apparently, the 1st hit on the Mix just puts it in Config mode and the 2nd hit is actually selecting Slot 1 to enter the group selection. |
