  • [Solved] Just Got Console 1 - no bidirectional communication is taking place

The Console 1 plugin shows the message "The DAW does not support automatic track name and numbers." but I know this is supposed to be supported. Also, no bidirectional communication is taking place so I can't control pan, etc.
 
No idea how to rectify - would appreciate any help you can offer...

Nevermind, I found out you had to use the VST3 version to get this to work. That should have been at the beginning of the manual, not at the end... :\

I don't think there is a reason to. I have a Mackie MCU + Extender, and a Novation Launch Control that I have programmed to handle my multiple monitor set up (rather cleverly I might add). :)
 
As long as Console 1 does what it's designed to do I'm good. And so far, it appears it does!

Thanks Zargg! Looking forward to digging in today! :)
 
I've got a project I haven't been able to wrap up in Ableton due to a bug. I'm going to dump all 40+ tracks out and bring them into Sonar to wrap up.
 
should be fun! :)

Just having dabbled with it I think I see why people say you mix so much faster. Make your choices with real knobs and move on.. Love the idea!

I use a Mackie MCU and I love it. but I must admit, I have been intrigued by the Console 1 for some time now.
Especially for the sound of the compressor plug ins. Im a huge fan of Softube. I love their plug ins. 
Tough choices for me lay in the future over a Console 1 or the Behringer X touch.
 
Even tougher is I love my Mackie MCU. it does everything I want. So until something bits the shed, the choice will be to keep using it.

The Console 1 really augments the Mackie - not replaces it. I use the Mackie to run the transport, to solo/mute tracks as I mix, to control the faders, and to do things like drop a marker or move to markers. You could do some of this with C1 for sure, but I love having 16 tracks always visible with the Mackie.
 
Personally, I don't intend to give up the Mackie/XT but I suppose you never know...
