Premiere Pro supports two kinds of control surfaces:
• Mackie Control protocol (Mackie)
• Euphonix control surfaces (EUCON)
Check the hardware documentation that comes with the device to set it up correctly. Once you've done that, go to
Premiere Pro's Preferences dialog to set up the configuration.
After configuring your device with Premiere Pro, you can control the Audio Track Mixer and Audio Clip Mixer using
the buttons, knobs, and faders on the device.
Setting Control Surface preferences
Use the Control Surface preferences dialog to configure your hardware control device.
To access the Control Surface preferences dialog, select Edit > Preferences > Control Surface.
The Edit, Add, and Remove buttons let you add, edit, or remove control surfaces in your configuration.
Under Device Class, click Add to select the device. You can add either EUCON or Mackie. Or you can add both.
Click Edit to specify configure settings like MIDI Input Device and MIDI Output Device for the selected control
surface.
Work with Audio Track Mixer using control surface controls
After you select the connected control surface device in the Preferences dialog, the hardware transport controls are
synchronized with the following Audio Track Mixer controls in real time.
Faders: Adjust faders in the Audio Track Mixer using the control surface faders.
For best results, ensure that the fader placement on the control surface accurately matches the placement of the fader
in the Audio Track Mixer. Any movement of the fader control in the Audio Track Mixer affects the fader of the control
surface.
Bank and Nudge buttons: Control surfaces usually have a limited number of faders. Sometimes, the number of tracks
in your sequence exceed the number of corresponding control surface faders. In this case, use the bank and nudge
buttons on the control surface to navigate additional tracks . The bank buttons navigate to the next set of tracks in the
project.
Meters: Some control surfaces display track meters. EUCON from Avid's Artist Series displays track meters for mono,
stereo, 5.1 tracks.
