John, how are you?
I just tried another DAW applications with my MCU PRO. After testing my SONAR X2 (faders are jerky), next MOTU Digital Performer 8 (faders goes smooth up, but jerky down) and finally MAGIX Samplitude Pro - here faders works, say, good in both directions. And what should I do? I planned return the unit (as defective) to the seller, but in actual situation? I do not know... I do not want to work with Samplitude (although it looks enough attractive), beacuse I use SONAR for few years.. Do you think, this mysterious .dll file in a new version could help me with these jerky faders? (and these not working buttons) in MCU PRO?
Best,
Adam
Samplitude Pro X has the best Mackie MCU and XT that I've tried. You can pretty much program any button to any function. However, some of the LED implementations are a bit wonky. That could be because I haven't learned how to set the button up properly.
Reaper's MCU drivers have been written by users. One of them has a great feature set but the author doesn't own an XT so full implementation of that is lacking.
With the exception of the ProChannel, SONAR's MCU implementation is very useable but I wish it was more like Samplitude.
