PaulyPaul « 3 MIDI in and MIDI out »
Published on 10/17/12 at 22:30The Mackie Control Universal is a solid work station that has 9 faders and all of them are motorized. there are over 50 total buttons on the Control Universal and most of them are fully customizable and can be synced with whatever you want them to control. The Mackie Control Universal connects to your computer through USB and it is very easy to set up. It will work with almost any system you have, but the faster and better your computer is, the better performance you will get out of the Mackie Control Universal.
The Mackie Control Universal has a built in MIDI interface and a great feeling jog wheel. This unit has metal casting and is solidly built. All of the knobs and faders have good slide to them and resistance. There are no audio inputs or audio outputs on this unit. But there are 3 MIDI ins and outs as well as transport controls. This unit is a bigger unit, but it is not too heavy so you can take it with you if you need to. I have been using this unit for 7 months and using it about 2 to 3 times a week since then.
There is an LCD display screen , you can see all of your mixes in real time. I love having all the buttons (50) that the Mackie Control Universal provides. I am able to control all of my plug-ins and VST synths right with the Mackie Control Universal knobs and buttons. This unit costs around a grand, but it is a great investment to have in your home studio because it will give you full control over your DAW and make your life much easier. It is always good to have a console like this that can work with your DAW. It will shave hours off of your session time that you could be using to make more music with.
