Chapter 4 Mackie Control 83
Tip: To minimize the appearance of the dialog, save your project with Assets before you start
recording. Saving your project this way bypasses the need to dene lenames and makes
handling faster and easier when using Logic Pro with the Mackie Control.
Just above the transport buttons are seven small, circular buttons for dierent recording and
playback modes: Marker, Nudge, Cycle, Drop, Replace, Click, and Solo. You can use these buttons
independently or in conjunction with one another, to navigate and edit your projects. Each
button has a dedicated LED that indicates its current status.
Mackie Control Marker button
Mackie Control Marker button overview
Press the MARKER button to activate one of three marker modes: Small Marker mode, Large
Marker mode, and Temporary Marker mode. You can use these modes to create or delete
markers and jump to markers in your project.
Note: The Marker and Nudge modes are mutually exclusive; activating one deactivates the other.
•
Small Marker mode: Press the MARKER button to activate Small Marker mode. Small Marker
mode is useful if you want to jump to markers while using the V-Pots for other purposes.
In this mode, pressing the FAST FWD or REWIND button moves the playhead to the next or
previous marker. Pressing the MARKER button again reverts to the default behavior of the FAST
FWD and REWIND buttons. (See Mackie Control transport buttons overview on page 82.)
•
Large Marker mode: Hold down the SHIFT button, then press the MARKER button to show three
create options on the LCD, assigned to the three rightmost V-Pot buttons. (See Large Marker
mode on page 84.)
•
Temporary Marker mode: Hold down the MARKER button if you want to enter Marker mode
temporarily to quickly perform a few marker functions. Press one (or more) of the V-Pot
buttons to execute the marker function and then leave Marker mode by releasing the
MARKER button.
•
Press function keys F1 to F8 to move the playhead to the rst eight markers (if created). For
example, to navigate to marker 3, hold down the MARKER button and press F3.
•
To jump between markers, with (or without) the MARKER button held down, press the FAST
FWD or REWIND button.
