Anyone have luck hooking one up? I've tried all the Mackie Control options available (Logic, Cubase, Sonar) and although it's on the available hardware list, I cannot get Vegas to "see" my Faderport 8. Thx.
any love on this question? any audio recordist here as well, using VP16? Being able to automate stuff like composite curves etc...with a hardware fader would be the bee's knees ;-D
Do a search for faderport and you will see a few threads here about it.
thanks David.... have done. I'm not seeing any success stories. The Vegas help files aren't getting things to work either. I appreciate your response.
I've been using my Faderport (single) for years with Vegas 11 and 13. I've not tried the Faderport 8 yet, but it is supported I believe. You have to add the driver, which Vegas should have already built in, under External Control and Automation. Then under the MIDI tab of Prefs, select Faderport in both MIDI output and MIDI input. THEN, after you apply this, and close the prefs, go to Options > External Control. let me know if this works in later versions of Vegas. I'd like to know before buying the 8. jmm in STL.
I've tried all that several times. The Faderport 8 has several choices for the Mackie control. Basically I've tried all options offered by the faderport including HUI control, which is for Protools. Vegas is just not "seeing" the hardware, even though it is an option in the list to choose from in Vegas. It'd be nice to see a Magix video demonstrating hooking up external hardware, especially the faderport.
BTW, I've asked over at the PreSonus forums....quite awhile back now... no answers over there either.
