What you really want is for Logic to control the DSP mixing directly, the way TDM works now (whether it's RME, MOTU, or whatever sprouts up in the future), but I still think this is a great feature. They fixed one problem with using CueMIX DSP this way a while ago: letting you name inputs. I don't know whether you can hide inputs yet, but that was the other problem. A 2408 only uses 24 of its 50-odd potential inputs, for example, and you had to scroll through lots of unused channels to get where you wanted to go. That's not practical for a monitor mixer, which you need to be able to operate very quickly. From: "John Pitcairn" <johnp@...> >Most interesting.

Isn't there the equivalent of Pro Tools' Active In Background option that lets you turn this off? I'm on my Powerbook right now and can't check, but I'm pretty sure there was in OS 9. >The Mackie Control Universal cannot control Logic unless it is booted >in "Logic Control" mode, in which state it presumably can't control >CueMix. > >So switching between Logic and CueMix on the fly will probably involve >rebooting the LC/MC and choosing which mode you want it to operate in. But at least a HUI or compatible will work, and I think this is a big step in the right direction for us mixerless wannabees. -- Nick Batzdorf 818/905-9101, cell 590-9101, fax 905-5434
