Hi Donal, Since the Mackie surfaces can be used with several workstations, any instructions would be provided by Mackie themselves. There are buttons and knobs that will do one thing in one dAW and another thing in a different dAW. Avid doesn't provide any specific information for third party surfaces. Those surfaces would have to operate in some type of HUI emulation (again, a Mackie standard) so I'd try looking there first. Most likely, you'd need to boot the surface into some type of Pro Tools mode or HUI mode. I know a couple of others on the list have had some experience with the Mackie surfaces. I'd venture to say that the experience was not intuitive and somewhat successful but I'll let them chime in. Best, Slau
