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. I will post a video of this tutorial in the next day or two when things calm down.
Launch Studio Monitor Express (SME)
Config > Set SME to use your audio device (in this case the Presonus FireStudio)
Patch > Set speaker outs to match the outs your device sends to your monitors
Sources > Create sources that correspond to what you need to listen to (in this case Logic Pro)
Main > Select which sources are available for each output
While SME is still open, open up the EuControl Settings > Assign and make sure the “Lock Control Room” option is checked
“MC Control is loaded with power features to speed up and enhance your creativity with any media application.
Effortlessly switch between multiple applications and workstations at the touch of a button.
The MC Control’s high-resolution touch-screen interface, motorized faders and arsenal of rotary encoders, soft keys and transport controls instantly snap to the selected application to put multi-format metering, plug-in parameters, track information and much more at your fingertips.
Most importantly, software developers like Apple, Steinberg, MOTU and others have worked closely to integrate native support for Euphonix’ EuCon control protocol into their DAWs to deliver an unmatched editing and mixing experience.” (Euphonix.com)
Logic Studio is a complete set of professional applications that lets you write, record, edit, mix, and perform. It’s also the largest collection of modeled instruments, sampler instruments, effect plug-ins, and audio loops ever put in a single box. So it’s easy to get amazing sounds and amazing-sounding recordings. Now you can tackle any stage of your project yourself — without losing your inspiration along the way.” (Apple.com)
Skin Radio asked us to do one last Fight Club event at the Hard Rock. It was great. Casino Superhost Steve Cyr is now 3-0 and is the oldest amature fighter to win at the age of 45. Congrats Steve! We only have a couple hours to prep but the show went off without a hitch. We will post the audio as it becomes available.
