MACKIE
HUI
Large Touch-Fader Master
Controller for Digital
Audio Workstations
Designed for video, film, multimedia and recording
studio professionals, Mackie’s HUI (Human User
Interface) was the original hands-on control
surface for Pro Tools, Digital Performer, Cubase
and Nuendo digital audio workstations (DAWs).
HUI did for digital audio workstation users what the
mouse did for computer users: Familiar physical move-
ment is instantly translated into precise creative control.
For example, HUI includes what appears to the user to
be familiar rotary knobs... but the DAW ‘sees’ a virtual interface that can be stored and recalled digitally.
This complete hardware workstation console has the user-friendly features and ergonomics that Mackie is renowned for…
including instantly touch-updatable 100mm motorized faders, transport controls, DAE plug-ins control, keyboard shortcuts,
window buttons - even built-in mic preamps! What used to take multiple mouse moves and clicks can now be done at the
push of a single button. Instead of individually adjusting “faders” on screen,users can now enjoy hands-on tracking and
mixing with touch-updatable motorized faders. With full automation control and recall capabilities, HUI is anything but a
conventional fader pack. For serious professionals who work day in and day out with Pro Tools, Digital Performer, Cubase
or Nuendo, HUI can significantly boost productivity through direct hands-on control.
