I have HUI Emulate (not mackie control) but whenever I select that one, I do not get the closed loop communication..(shown with an ' X ' in the 1st attachment. This was a problem I had trying to setup ProTools (with both machine control (1st 8 faders) and external ctrl (2nd 8 faders)).
Another forum post said to run REMOTE with Steinberg which, according to the board, communicates with Reaper..(shown with ' <--> ' on second attachment)
Other options in REMOTE are: MMC Full, MMC Open MC for Logic, MC for DP, MC for Sonar, HUI Emulate, TC DAT.. and a few others but none work.. been playing around for a while on fader control (not so much on the returning signals.. figure I'll try to get this one first)
"".. and the unit ISN"T showing up in reaper as a Firewire control surface ""
--I was under the presumption that the USB connection did the communications and the firewire did only audio channels..??..
""P.S> whats the noisefloor of the DM 3200 pre's? ""
I'm not advanced enough to know that info..
If I ever find out, I'll let you know..
