    using mackie control surface with FCP

    Posted by Jong W. lee on January 29, 2008 at 2:17 am

    I’ve been trying to use MCU (Mackie Control Universal) with FCP, but no luck.
    Can anyone help me to set up this device for FCP (and Soundtrack pro too)?

    My (used) MCU came with MIDI/USB cable (midi1x1 by E-MU), so I hooked it up and select MCU under the ‘Control Surface’ in FCP… and even turned on the Audio Mixer window (Record audio Keyframe too.) That’s all i was able to do… What else should I do? Does it have to do to something with my Multibridge Pro or HDlink?

    Always appreciate your support

    I’m not sure if there are updates for fcp6 for this device. Here’s some info from the sound track manual for fcp5:

    basically mismatched control protocol settings between the MCU and FCP
