WHY does Artist MC Control keep dropping the connection?
The Control is clearly for mixing and, since I work in Nuendo (6.5 & 7), it is nortoriously unreliable! I have never once considered using it to track a session.
I have a desk for tracking, so I don't even bother to turn the MC on for recording sessions. But when I get ready to edit/mix, which may be several days before I need the MC, the MC has dropped it's connection with the DAW! I have to go through all kinds of reboots and other crap to get it to see Nuendo! Sometimes it can take up to an hour before it's back online! Now, once the connection is re-established and I'm in the edting/mixing stage, it works, for the most part, as it should. I'll fire my mixing projects up for several days straight and the MC is online as it should be. When I hit the recording phase and go longer than 3 or 4 days turning the MC on, the BS cycle starts all over again (WTH?)! WHY does it keep dropping connections after being off for a couple of days? What is up with that?!!? It is such a work flow killer to go down ready to start a day's work and then WASTE the first hour or so trying to get your tools to cooperate! Any other users have this problem? |

Re: WHY does Artist MC Control keep dropping the connection?
Hi Keyplayer, might not be that, but have you updated your network interface driver and the chipset one ?
I'm suggesting this because I encountered some disconnections with my setup (2X artist + Mc control +transport) too and it helped a lot. I've noticed I was running on windows 10 (and windows 7 before that) Microsoft embedded drivers and forgot to install proper motherboard drivers. By the way, happy new year ! |

Thanks for your reply and Happy New Year as well to you. I will try that and see if it makes any difference.

Re: WHY does Artist MC Control keep dropping the connection?
I am having this kind of problem as well but in a Mac system.
I have both Mix and Mc controls into a router at my iMac. Everytime I run the Mc control the Eucontrol software crashs. If I just keep the Mix on, everything goes fine. I just uptaded all I can in the OS and the Eucontrol, but keeps chrashing. |

Re: WHY does Artist MC Control keep dropping the connection?
This has been the issue with the Artist series since the beginning. They keep coming out with updates and NEVER seem to be able to fix what seems to be such a basic fundamental need of the product. I don't get it....
I now expect them to be working about 50% of the time.... But really that is embarrassing performance. Never had that issue with My D-command or even Command 8. Whats the deal? I was thinking of buying an S3 but have held off because of this. Does anyone happen to know if this issue in fact happens with the S3 as well? I have a friend with an S6 that told me it also goes off line all the time. :-/ |
