Mackie D8B & ProTools

[Kenshiro]

Is it possible to control ProTools using a D8B? I just found that I can
Play and Stop playback in ProTools pressing the button on the D8b and viceversa but I
cannot Rewind or Forward or use the the jog wheel....

Again if I set a time on the D8B, I get the same time on ProTools but I
cannot arm the tracks.

I'm not saying that I want a full control surface but at least to use
same basic MMC commands..

Any help?
Thanks

thanks Larry,

exactly what is 9pin option? Is the Midi machine Control option sold separatly or I have to activate it in the Protools menus?

thanks

YOu have to get the new sony 9pin option that only works with 5.1. It allows Pro Tools to opereate in "remote" mode, which is different than your previous 9pin options. You can track arm from the Mackie and everything.
