After the default audio filename has been entered, you can freely select and arm any
audio channel strip, and then press the RECORD button. No alert messages and file save
dialogs will appear onscreen.
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 define filenames, and
makes handling faster and easier when using Logic Pro with the Mackie Control.
Mackie Control: Marker Button
Pressing the MARKER button activates one of the 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
Pressing the MARKER button activates Small Marker mode. 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: REWIND Button and Mackie Control: FAST FWD Button.)
Small Marker mode is useful if you want to jump to markers while using the V-Pots for
other purposes.
Large Marker Mode
Pressing the MARKER button while holding down the SHIFT button displays three create
options on the LCD, assigned to the three rightmost V-Pot buttons.
Once markers have been created, press the V-Pot button listed below to create or delete
a marker at the current playhead position.
ActionControl
Displays the first five markers by name. Pressing a V-Pot button
moves the playhead to the corresponding marker. When the
playhead position is inside a marker, the lower line displays INSIDE,
and the V-Pot LED ring is lit.
V-Pot 1 to 5
Cr w/o—Creates a marker, without rounding to the nearest bar.V-Pot 6
Create—Creates a marker, rounded to the nearest bar.V-Pot 7
Delete—Deletes the marker above the current playhead position.V-Pot 8
A recommended workflow for creating or deleting markers is to use the Jog/Scrub Wheel.
Turn the wheel to move the playhead to the desired project position, and then press the
appropriate V-Pot to create or delete a marker.
• For coarse placement, use the wheel to move the playhead.
