62 Chapter 3 Mackie Control
Using the Mackie Control With Logic Express
There are many ways that you can use the Mackie Control in Logic Express.
One simple workflow example involves the following steps:
1 With your project open in the Arrange window, select the channel strips you want to
control by pressing the Fader Bank buttons on the Mackie Control. See “Fader Bank
Zone” on page 82 for more information.
2 Select the parameters you want to edit, and whether you want to edit multiple
channels (Mixer view) or a single channel (Channel view), using the Assignment
buttons. See “Assignment Zone” on page 68 for more information.
3 Start playback, and move the playhead to the position where you want to work, using
the Mackie Control Transport buttons and Jog Wheel. See “Transport Zone” on page 89
and “Jog/Scrub Wheel Zone” on page 98 for more information.
4 Edit the project with the channel strip controls. See “Channel Strip Controls” on
page 65 for more information.
Display Zone
The display zone, located along the top of the Mackie Control, features four displays.
Each shows different information:
 Main Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
 Assignment display
 Time display
 Solo LED
Main Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
The main LCD is divided into eight sections (or columns, if you prefer), each with two
lines of text. Each section displays information for the channel strip controls directly
below it. The information displayed on the main LCD changes—dependent on the
parameters you are editing—and whether Mixer view or Channel view is active. In
general, the upper row of each section displays the (abbreviated) track/channel name,
and the lower row displays the (abbreviated) parameter name and/or its value.
In some modes, a long parameter name (or other text) appears briefly onscreen while
you are moving the corresponding control. You can set the display and duration of long
parameter names in the Control Surfaces preferences. For information on setting
preferences, refer to “Basic Control Surface Setup” on page 15.
Note: On the LCD, 8-bit ASCII characters such as curly quotes and umlauts are replaced
with the best-possible 7-bit ASCII equivalent.
