Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does it include a license for Davinci Studio?

A: A DaVinci Resolve Studio license is not included with the Blackmagic Design Fairlight Desktop Console USB Control Surface.

Q: 2. Will this controller work with ProTools?

A: No, the Blackmagic Design Fairlight Desktop Console USB Control Surface is not compatible for use with Pro Tools or any software other than Resolve Fairlight.

Q: 3. IT works with DaVinci Resolve 16?

A: No, this controller will not work with DaVinci Resolve. This is a controller for DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations), not video.

Q: 4. Is there a specified foot controller for this? What functions does a foot controller operate?

A: This is aplicable to Logic Pro: You can connect a momentary foot pedal—with either positive or negative polarity—to the foot switch sockets. By default, foot switches control the outlined functions: USER SWITCH A is assigned to Start/Stop. USER SWITCH B is assigned to Record. (Note that a track must be selected and armed for recording to take place.) EXTERNAL CONTROL is assigned to the MASTER fader level. Use only an expression pedal with this socket. The polarity of the foot switches is determined by the Mackie Control when powered up. You should first connect the foot switches, then turn on the Mackie Control.

Q: 5. Is this backwards compatible with USB 3.0 (USB A)?

A: Yes, that should work.

Q: 6. Will this control surface work with Reaper?

A: Reaper is not listed as officially supported software by Mackie.

Q: 7. Does this work with Fairlight within Davinci Resolve?

A: Yes, the Mackie MCU Pro Expandable USB/MIDI Control Surface can be used as a control surface for Fairlight, however we recommend an option such as BH #BLFDC Blackmagic Design Fairlight Desktop Console USB Control Surface for the best functionality in this scenario: https://bhpho.to/33zWnLw

Q: 8. Will it work with the ATEM video switchers and software as well in live video production?

A: The Blackmagic Design Fairlight Desktop Console USB Control Surface is meant for post-production use with Davinci's Fairlight software. As it is a USB control surface it could potentially be used with other software, but would depend on the compatibility and control mapping capabilities of the software.

Q: 9. I meant protools 12

A: It will work with ProTools 12. a href= http://www.avid.com/US/products/family/Pro-Tools target= _blank http://www.avid.com/US/products/family/Pro-Tools/a

[Transition] If you own the Mackie MCU Pro this is a no brainer!!! It’s expensive but it adds immediate value to your tracking and mixing capabilities. The only reason why I don’t own two of them is because I need the spare midi ports to plug up my MPC 2000XL and Nord Stage 3 into my MCU Pro! Do yourself a big favor and purchase one if you are on the fence. Once you get one you will immediately be glad that you did. 5

[12] When Avid dropped support of their C24 and Control 24 the units were worthless overnight. So was the furniture that housed it. I decided to drop Avid hardware completely. I checked out an MCU Pro V3.0 about a year ago and hated the feel of the faders. I think at the time they used P&G. The updated 4.0.3 MCU Pro now has Alps faders which are every bit as smooth as sensitive as the Avid/Focusrite faders and the unit is clearly sturdier than Avid Artist Mix. ProTools 11 setup takes literally a few moments. It AMAZES me how Avid drops support for their own hardware, but continues support for third-party hardware. MCU also integrates perfectly with Studio One 3, my new production DAW. This unit is a winner. DON'T BUY USED. The older ones (V3.0) have resistant, noisy faders which can't be swapped. Avid forced me to change my style of production - for the better. Thank you, Avid, for encouraging me to shop elsewhere. 5

[1] A must have if you're doing serious audio work in Resolve. The faders have a nice feel and the jog/shuttle wheel is great. This has far more capabilities than I've even begun to explore. 5

[12] Thank you, the Wirecast Control Surface is a great piece of hardware that makes distance learning much easier. 5

[Windows ] Once you get your hands on it - your hooked! Now thinking about the FP-8 or FP16! Love Presonus! 5

[Transition] I bought this to make automation during mixing smoother and easier in Reaper. I was expecting to have to do some setup, but was pleasantly surprised that it worked with its default settings. All of the major controls - solo, mute, arm for record, toggle touch, write, or read automation, transport controls - all worked great immediately. Since I typically only automate one track at a time during mixing, this product is the perfect value for my needs! 5

[Windows ] It may be a tad on the expensive side(more than the Wirecast program itself) but for us running a two and soon-to-be 3 camera live stream for our church, this is simply a must-have! Our workflow has decreased dramatically and having the full controls of the Wirecast at your fingertips there is no choice. Get this switcher! 5
