Musicianista Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hi guys, I have a Mackie Control running with Logic Pro 8. All seems fine except that it didn't come with a Logic overlay as I expected. It came with the Steinberg SX/Nuendo, Sonar/Cakewalk and the used MOTU Digi Performer that I peeled off carefully. I need to know where I can get one sent to Australia or if someone has one that they don't need and may want to sell or swap for one of mine? Thanks in advance...

shelm Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 The default labeling on the Mackie Control is for Logic. So you don't need a special lexan overlay.

nagal Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Musicianista - how do you like your Mackie? I know this was not directed at me but I LOVE my MCU Pro. It has completely changed the way I work. Sometimes only having 8 channels on it is frustrating but I plan on getting an Extender soon. This is hands down the best investment I have made into my home studio. The integration between the MCU and Logic is the best I have used so far. I also have high regards for Mackie's Tech support unlike a lot of people I have had extremely good dealings with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was right. I havent used a GOOD control surface in so long (Either been on consols or had a Pro Control which was TERRIBLE) that I forgot how good it could be. Plus using the Function selects for screensets is the s#!+. MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicianista Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 My Mackie is not an MCU. Its the original Mackie Control that came out after the Logic Control, so it definitely needs a lexan. Musicianista - how do you like your Mackie? A studio life changing experience! The integration with Logic keystrokes/track selection and arming etc makes the whole experience faster and more enjoyable. Mixing is fun now. Not a mouse-fest. I should have bought one ages ago. These old ones are pretty cheap now and pretty much still do the same things. Me likey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STILL Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I have one of the originals and I can't believe I ever mixed without it, but with Logic 8, the save button doesn't work.You hit it, it flashes off then back on again (signifying that it hasn't saved), weird and a pain, but survivable....

Musicianista Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yeah, I found that too. Still, no biggie. My Save instinct has me automatically reaching for the keyboard anyway. I tried to re-map the Save button on the Mackie - BIG MISTAKE. It screwed up a bunch of other functions and still didn't work! I had to trash the logicpro.cs preferences and reboot to get Mr Mackie back to normal. The other thing I have found is that I have a duplicate MC in the Control Surface Setup whenever I first start Logic. I delete it and all is well. And if I have a midi track armed and selected the Mackie transport etc plays notes thru that channel. What a vacuum. (It sucks) Anyone else??
