Mackie HUI Control Surface
The Mackie HUI (Human User Interface) is a
dedicated mixing and editing control surface
designed to interface seamlessly with Pro Tools.
Dedicated HUI controls allow easy navigation
through Pro Tools functions, including mixing,
editing, grouping, plug-in control, and automa-
tion.
Communication between HUI and Pro Tools is
bidirectional, which means that control surface
movements from HUI are reflected on-screen in
Pro Tools, and changes in Pro Tools are mir-
rored on HUI.
Key features of HUI include:
Tactile and Visual interfacing
◆ Eight motorized, touch-sensitive faders with
fader bank and channel selectors
◆ Illuminated V-POTs (virtual rotary potenti-
ometers) control channel routing, pans, sends,

signments
