Adjusting Send Level

If you want to adjust the level of SEND A on

Track 8, first use the BANK buttons [14] to highlight

Tracks 1-8 in the Pro Tools mixer.

Now hold the SEND button [13] down and press

the button marked SEND A [28]. This sets the V-Pot

function to Send A level, and the ASSIGNMENT

Setting a Track’s Input and Output

You can set up a Track’s input in the Pro Tools

mixer from the Mackie Control without ever having

to use your mouse.

For example, to set up Track 2’s input, press the

ASSIGN button [10], then press the INPUT button [11].

Notice that the LCD has changed to indicate the

Input assignments on its lower line. The number

before the “/” indicates the ID of the audio interface,

while the number after indicates the channel on that

interface. These numbers will vary depending on the

type of I/O hardware in your Pro Tools system.

Rotate the V-Pot on Channel 2 to change the

input assignment, and press the ASSIGN button

again to apply the change. This same procedure can

be used with the OUTPUT button [12] to set a

track’s output destination as well.

Adding a Plug-in to a Track

Adding a plug-in to a track is simple. First use the

BANK buttons [14] to highlight the track in which

you want to insert the plug-in.

Hold down the INSERT button [16] (located just

above the Master Fader), and press the V-Pot on the

channel you want. The LCD changes to show the

Plug-Ins view.

Once you are viewing the four inserts, press the

PLUG-IN ASSIGN button [25] to enter assign mode.

Rotate V-Pots 1 thru 4 to select the plug-in to be

added on each insert, and press the PLUG-IN

Writing Automation

One of the key features Mackie Control brings to

a Pro Tools system is the ease in which a mix can be

automated. The easiest way to automate channel

parameters is by using Auto-touch automation. This

automation mode only records automation when a

knob, button, or fader is being touched or moved.
