That last one seems very kludgy compared to using OSC:
Quote:
[...] the software converts the commands into a more modern universal control protocol. This protocol is the "Mackie Control Universal" and it's compatible with most DAW software available on the market.

The Mackie Control hardware units have 9 faders total, 8 channels plus one master fader. To be able to use all of the D8B's 25 faders, we are emulating 3 complete units.
With REAPER's OSC configuration you would just set the number of tracks to 24 (as the master track is available separately).

So, what's the relation between Mackie's MCU and HUI exactly; is HUI the newer, more advanced protocol?
