 Posted: Tue Aug 21, 2007 12:52 pm Post subject: WANTED: Mackie HUI or... |
 |
|
Just sold my C24 and now I'm looking for a Mackie HUI or another compact (no more than 8 faders) controller/mixer but IT HAS TO HAVE A JOG WHEEL for scrubbing - it's how I like to work in editing. Also it needs to work with both host-based AND TDM ProTools.
Anyone got any suggestions for another controller that meets these needs or know of any HUI's in great shape out there?

Anthony—This may give you an idea of some other Human User Interface controllers:
| Quote: | | Many hardware controllers (Tascam FW-1802, Mackie Control Universal, Yamaha 01X, Alesis MasterControl, SSL AWS900, etc.) implement this protocol. Similarly many types of DAW software implement the HUI(tm) protocol, making them cross-compatible with the HUI(tm)-compatible hardware controllers. While HUI is still supported on the hardware side non Digi software has moved on to more open MCU and other midi control protocols as DigiDesign has made extensive controllers with proprietary protocols that have much more rich capabilities but are part of a closed system. |

thanks for checkin' in w/ me, deirdre - must've been the rush out of the studio today.
NEwho - I'm leaning toward the Mackie CMU. It has alot of the things my Control24 had in terms of scrubbing, zoom (vertical and horizontal), and marker buttons, etc. BUT, and it's also good possibility, I might wait for the much rumored update to Digidesign's Command|8, because some speculate it might have a scrub wheel. We'll see. But the Mackie is still in the lead - especially because I can always expand and add more faders if the need ever arises.
PEACE.

Hi Anthony,
I've been using a HUI for the past 5 years now... will never part with it and it is still not obsolete even though Digidesign/Mackie and Focusrite put it together over 9 years ago to have it talk to Pro Tools.
I happened to see some HUI's on eBay recently, selling for around five to sixhundred US, seems a fair price. If you run into one, I can provide the neccesary manuals, both the user and the service one. I even got hold of some test routines to check its internal funcionality.
Oops... just found new ones for $800...

Good luck! |
