Mackie Control Universal bugs in X1 Producer
Hello, been lurking for a while reading about X1... have learned a lot from this forum, so thanks to all who post here!
Anyway, I recently bought and installed X1 after being a Cakewalk user since the Pro Audio days, and overall I love it, I think it's a huge improvement. Using it with my Mackie control, though, I noticed a few things, and I wondered if anyone else had the same issues. (yes I upgraded to X1a)
If I add a Mackie Control as a controller while my audio interface(s) aren't connected (so X1 has no audio drivers running), the system crashes, every time. I already sent a report to Cakewalk about this, just curious if anyone else had this. When I plug in and enable my interface, it works fine.
Also, when I archive a track, all of the tracks after that's v-pot LEDs do not reflect their pan settings. For example, I archive track 3. After that, the v-pots on the MCU for tracks 1 and 2 will change as I twist them as normal, but from tracks 3 on, the LEDs just stay frozen. The VALUE changes, and is even reflected in the MCU window above (3%L, 100%R, etc) but only the LEDs are frozen. When I unarchive the track, it's back to normal. Just an annoyance.
I'll submit a formal report, I'm just curious if it's only me, since I haven't been able to find anybody else having issues with the MCU and X1a.
