Re: Control Surface
Cool let me know how that works out. The BCF2000 is on my radar,simply due to the price point.

Re: Control Surface
I have an fw as well, and a project mix... I didn't know about the project mix and the multiple messages when pressing the mode buttons. Interesting..

Re: Software instruments and precise editing
Hi stefan, The idea of zero crossing is irrelevant in Pro Tools since it is possible to not only define automatic crossfades but, even if an edit is very rough, a crossfade is simple to make across any region boundaries.

Re: Software instruments and precise editing
Regarding 2, I don't know of anyone that has had any good accessibility luck with software instruments not made by Avid. Even clicking specific coordinates with the mouse isn't very useful. If you click a position that opens a browser window, that browser window probably won't read, either.

RE: Control Surface
That's the idea. The application is protocol-based, so non-Mackie surfaces are potentially OK. Having said this, I'm aware that some surfaces out there do strange things with their button presses. For instance, the M-Audio Project Mix transmits more than one message when you press the mode buttons and this can cause problems with the Mackie Reader application. It may be possible to work around this kind of thing, but getting things working with equipment that behaves more correctly will be a definite priority. Testing so far has been with a Mackie Control Universal and a Behringer BCF2000 and all was well, given the limitations that the BCF doesn't have a jog wheel, scrub button or MBT/SMPTE time display button. I've got a Mackie C4 here, so I'll be adding support for that and I've got friends with Tascam FW1884 units that say they'll do some testing for me. Best wishes.

Hi, I'm intending to add HUI and Logic Control protocol support, so I'm setting up a test rig with a Behringer BCF2000 right now with Baby HUI and PT9. Best wishes.

Hello, I'm about to purcase pro tools. I didn't find two questions on the list: 1. I wonder, if it is possible for us to navigate to zero-crossings, like in sonar. 2. How do you use software instruments like Contact, where the buttons to load files, I think, aren't automatable? Thanks for reply Stefan
