BTW i dont like the Mackie HR824.. i have used one.. mas GAMAY ko ang tunog ng mura kong EVENT spkrs hehehe.. bingi na yata ako kasi malapit sa Genelec yung dinig ko.. which i am THINKING of getting kapag me pera na.. GAS IS KING hehehe

i kind of agree. the HR824 sounds muffled to me but the things sound great for mixing rock with Linkin Park or Helmet sounding guitars. I think the HR 626 with the D'Apolito's sound like a much better "general-use" set of monitors. As far as subs go, I do like the HR120 sub without a doubt. I've been using one or about 2 years now and it is pretty accurate and solid.

I've come to rely on my Events and Genelec as my main speakers because I know how they work. They may have faults like any other speakers but I know how they translate to a variety of systems.

Well, yes. But only for parameter control and automation. You might also be able to output notes, but what's the point of going chromatically up and down the scale unless your song is 100% glissandos. The midi ports are meant to control other midi equipped devices, EDIT: (or it can serve as an additional midi interface when the controller is connected via usb with your computer) - I forgot that the MCU has no usb connection... I was thinking of another interface. - My bad!

Baldo,

Meron siyang MIDI in and out kasi ganoon yung pagkakabit niya sa computer mo, via MIDI. You can use it to sequence fader moves, etc....and kung gagamitin mo yung Mackie Control C4, you can control your virtual synths and plug ins. Best bet nalang diyan is to borrow one and try it on your setup for a few days.

BALDO · « **Reply #32 on:** July 17, 2007, 10:18:09 AM »

Galing mo talaga Gerard hehehe.. NAISIP mo yung INIISIP ko..

.. actually me mahihiraman ako kaya lang hindi pa ako nagmi mix..

.. saka nahihiya pa ako ( kahit kaunti naman meron pa )

..pero ma try nga yang FLYING FADERS na yan hehehe

BALDO · « **Reply #33 on:** July 23, 2007, 03:01:50 AM »

KIT actually me USB connection yung bagong MCU PRO..

.. ok na dun sa hihiraman..

sa mixing stage pwede ko ng gahasain yung control surface hehehe

GerardSalonga · « **Reply #34 on:** July 23, 2007, 10:46:13 PM »

Ayos! Pag na try mo na....kwento mo naman. Nagiisip din akong kumuha ng ganyan eh. Ngayon gumagamit ako ng Frontier Design Alpha Track. Masarap gamitin....kaso isang fader lang. Maliit lang kasi desk space kaya oks lang. I'm sure the MCU C4 is great...lao na sa pag adjust ng mga plug ins

BALDO · « **Reply #35 on:** July 24, 2007, 07:05:33 AM »

Gerard..oo nga ok yung para sa plugins.. but you know what? ang lintek na mackie mcu pro e NAGTITIPID yata sa papel dahil ang pangit na ng instruction manual, iilang page pa at wala pang masyadong INSTRUCTIONS..

.. ni walang mga examples di katulad ng ibang products.. baka sa susunod ko na pag aralan kasi nakakatamad, isa pa nasa tracking stage pa kami..
ps
mas nagagandahan ako sa protools na control surface, mas maganda hitsura kaso nde pwede sa system ko.. WALA NA BANG MAS MAGANDANG CONTROL SURFACE NA AVAILABLE SA MARKET??? AESTHETIC WISE.. yung sa Alesis e sa DEC 2007 pa ang labas..hayyyy..

GerardSalonga · « **Reply #36 on:** July 24, 2007, 11:37:27 AM »

Baldo...kung hahanap ka man ng bukod sa Mackie, make sure each channel has an LCD or anything to let you know what channel is on which fader. Walang ganyan sa baby HUI....napakahirap talaga. Madalas akong magkamali ng channel kasi nga hindi naka label. Madalas pa naman tayong magtrabaho ng puyat diba? Mas lalong magkakagulo niyan.

well, if you have the dough (how stupid of me -- of course you have the dough!), maybe you wanna consider this...

very true mr. gerard. it might seem like a trivial thing, pero labels make the difference.

BALDO · « **Reply #41 on:** July 28, 2007, 12:13:05 AM »

3k? what? 3x ng presyo ng mackie?? hmmm for that amount me extender na additional tracks at meron na din mcu4 para sa plugins.. oh well.. as usual hintayong bumaba ang price

.. but i have to admit.. IMPRESSED ako sa hitsura niya

oh hell yeah....if you dont have lcd labels you can always do it the old school way and use track labels with masking tape. just make sure to use the painters masking tape which doesnt leave a sticky residue and comes off easily.

i like expandability of the Mackie with the extenders, however, i do wish the default fader set wasn't limited to 8 tracks...maybe at least 16 or something like my control 24. The freedom of having more faders makes it easier for me to do my work.

BALDO · « **Reply #43 on:** July 28, 2007, 12:42:55 AM »

.. oh well.. saka na sa mixing stage na iisipin yan.. 5 songs pa lang kami at tracking pa lang..

check the IRQ assignments if you didn't get an error and check that the drivers that came with the control surface are up to date for your QX processor. speaking of new control surfaces, i noticed that Digidesign came out with a spiffier design of my Control 24 AND its in black - syet - it looks cooler than my grey one!

BALDO · « **Reply #47 on:** October 01, 2007, 11:34:56 AM »

i just found out it works without having to use the cd that came with it..no need for drivers.

. the problem was with the USB connection.. finally it is working..

BALDO · « **Reply #48 on:** October 01, 2007, 11:42:00 AM »

Gerard. ok yung Mackie.especially yung flying faders hehehe..works very well with Nuendo 3.. now i need more time to study it..then i can tell you how it went.. pero kagabi inabot ako ng 4am pag load ng plugins.. hayyyy...

GerardSalonga · « **Reply #49 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:17:21 PM »

yikes....check devices in Nuendo. Nung kinabit ko yung alpha track ko, ganyan din nangyari. All I needed to do was activate it in the device panel. Pare naka Nuendo ka pala....pinakamagandang controller diyan yung Euphonix MC....pang Nuendo talaga. Mahal nga lang, pero hanep.
