Stop it!   I'm trying to resist temptation.  (I have room for one more extender on my desk.)

(FWIW, I got my MCU Pro and the extender for $750.  I love buying good used gear.)

cool. I hate buying used gear:) especially something that I don't have a clue about. I saw an old MCU on Craigslist for like $250 a couple months ago but passed. Some guy has the same unit for sale for $500.:) 


Anyway, yea, I'd sure like me some faders...

Pics of the new setup.

Dave - Very nice!!!  Happy for you!!

coolness.

Looks Great Dave.

I am thinking about moving my extender to the right side of my MCU.  That would put the controls(buttons) in front of me with the fader banks right and left of them.

Anyone else doing this?

I know it's a bit of the old "If you love Reaper so much, why don't you marry it?"  But check out the implementation one of the Reaper users has developed for the Mackie MCU.

It adds so much more power to the control surface.


EDIT:   Unfortunately, the fellow doesn't own an extender so this additional level of support doesn't support the extender.  He has a previous release that does but it isn't nearly as feature rich.  Bummer.

Strangely enough after years of running the XT to the left I've just moved mine to the right. I've always had the controls in front of me but I've just moved my console as plugging my snake in when I have bands in was starting to get a pain so I shifted that, which meant I had to shift the MCU which moved the controls so I've swapped them round.
 
Now wondering why I didn't do it before as it's also bought my control surface element of the console closer as well.
