Tracktion 4 Reference Manual

Using The Mackie Control Universal
The MCU offers eight mixer strips. Each mixer strip contains a motorised fader, which can be used to
control the volume of a volume/pan lter (Fig. 7.4.7). In addition, each strip contains a pan control, and
options to control the mute/solo and input arm state for the track. MCU devices can be further extended
by adding up to three XT extender devices. Each XT adds a further eight tactile mixing channels to your
Tracktion experience.
To the right of the MCU’s mixer strips is a master fader, which controls the master volume level in
Tracktion.
Above the track faders, there are a range of buttons, and a row of V-pots (Fig. 7.4.8):
Rec/Rdy: Use this button to toggle whether the input device for this track is armed. This button will only
operate if an input device is assigned to the track.
