My Mackie Control Universal works in PT but not in Logic 7?? WTF??

Poopants · 21st November 2006

(I hope this is in the right forum...)

I got an MCU a few months ago and I got it to work with Protools fine in HUI mode, but now I can't get it to work with Logic. I'm running Logic 7 on a G5 with an M-Audio 1814. The firmware is up to date on the MCU. I read through the setup portion of the MCU and Logic manuals and it says that for Logic it should automatically recognize the MCU when Logic boots, but it does nothing. I have tried this in HUI, Mackie Control, and Logic Control modes. When I go to the control surface setup in Logic, it doesn't see the MCU when I scan it.

WHATS GOING ON?? Is there something I'm supposed to do in the environment? Right now all I have setup for MIDI is a physical input object, with the sum going through the keyboard thingy and into the sequencer input object.

Please help, this is very frusterating!

Should move this to Music Computers. I'm sure there are people there with the same gear that can help.

I had the same problem with a MC last week. Worked with Cubase, did not work with Soundscape! Strange!
