Default Mackie MCU Pro (trouble connecting via USB)

Hi,

being new to PT (used Ableton Live succesfully with the MCU PRO) I'm trying to connect my MCU PRO in HUI Mode via USB with out success, but lots of support fun .

Called Avid -> sent me to Mackie, called Mackie -> sent me to Avid.

In general most docs describing this a re very old.

So what working:

- Disconnecting the MCU PRO from USB and use a straight midi connection PT 10 recognizes the MCU PRO as HUI fine.

- Connecting the MCU PRO to USB the midi connection via physical midi connectors no looner works. OK.

- Connecting the MCU PRO to USB and trying to use the MIDI over USB with PT 10

+ The connection from the MCU to PT works (physical fader movement will see fader moving on screen)
+ The connection from PT to MCU doesn't work (no physical fader moving when acting on screen)

Any help or at least confirmation that this is the only way would be appreciated - thanks in advance.

Ciao, Bernd

Default Re: Mackie MCU Pro (trouble connecting via USB)

Be sure to launch Pro Tools to run as administrator:

Run as Administrator

This can help with various launch issues as well as a variety of MIDI issues (i.e., no MIDI output or control surface communication) and using the Avid/Digidesign hardware driver in third-party DAWs.
  • Right-click on the Pro Tools icon on your desktop.
    • If using a third-party DAW, right-click on that application's icon instead.
  • Choose Properties.
  • Click on the Compatibility tab.
  • Check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator."
  • Click Apply and then OK.

It seems like there is one way connection via usb. Check to ensure that the midi out setting in PT for the HUI is set to the USB midi port.
