When I open Cubase 7, I have to reset the Mackie Control midi in/out settings for the QU-24 every time I launch. Can anyone help me fix this annoyance? Running OS x Yosemite, Cubase 7.5, QU-24. I set A&H DAW Control 1.30 to auto open at boot, turn the QU-24 on, and launch Cubase. I get no DAW control with the QU-24 until I reset the Mackie Control settings.
I also noticed with the latest QU-24 firmware update that there is a DAW control midi 4 option, whereas before I only had 3 midi options. What is this 4th one for? Thanks!
DAW Control V1.30 offers a generic ‘Qu’ map i.e. not specific to a particular Qu model. Up to 4 virtual MIDI ports are needed on a Qu-32 (4 blocks of 8 fader strips).
but how to make 4x8 Blocks. with my Qu32 there are only 16 Faders to control my DAW - Cubase 8. I’ve one Mackie Control with MIDI 1 (In/Out) and Mackie Control 2 Midi 2 (In/Out)
How to make the next 16 channels.
You should be able to add additional mackie controls in cubase. I added 3 in my case for the qu24. Assign mackie control 1 to DAW control midi 4, then mackie control 2 to DAW control midi 3, mackie control 3 to DAW control midi 2, and so on for the last. I don’t understand why this cant be simpler when opening cubase, and it automatically set midi in/outs automatically based on the template. You have to follow a very specific protocol for new projects to work correctly. I have also found that if the project is setup wrong, then the QU faders will only control the input channels, and not the actual tracks that are recorded.
Hello - was there any resolution to this? Same thing happened with Logic Pro. Qu-24/Mackie control works fine until the Mac is restarted - then all "Mackie control midi device"s in control surface setup get reset to “Mackie control midi device 4”. I’m hoping I’ve missed something really stupid? or permissions set wrong on the relevant .plist files?
You know I’d never been able to test this on a MAC using cubase but works great on PC. Being it’s just a DEVICE the map may actually work just fine in mac. This works better than the DAW control they have IMO. Even the PC users that have downloaded it like better than the DAW control from Allen and Heath. One downfall though is it was written for the QU24 so it’s missing some if you have the 32 but they’re easy to add if you just follow the instructional video they have, He gives you the basic concept of setting it up.
