I ran into a neat little problem with my workflow. For months I have been mindlessly controlling the volume of my monitors via the mixer. Knowing the Euphonix MC Control is capable of controlling system levels I decided to dive in and make it work. Took some trial and error to get the voodoo but it’s working and working GREAT.

1. Launch Studio Monitor Express (SME)
2. Config > Set SME to use your audio device (in this case the Presonus FireStudio)
3. Patch > Set speaker outs to match the outs your device sends to your monitors
4. Sources > Create sources that correspond to what you need to listen to (in this case Logic Pro)
5. Main > Select which sources are available for each output
6. While SME is still open, open up the EuControl Settings > Assign and make sure the “Lock Control Room” option is checked
7. Launch Logic and set SME as the audio driver
