Faderport 8 in Cakewalk

[Mel Matthews]

Just got my faderport 8 and all seems to be working as it should in Cakewalk with one exception.

I can't seem to get it to follow my track selection on screen. For example if I select track 1 or 2 on the Faderport it doesn't change the track on screen inside the daw if you follow me.

It does work right in Studio one  and Mixbus 5 however.

Any thoughts, or is this not something that can be done in Cakewalk and Faderport 8

You need to make sure that "Select Highlights track" is checked on the Mackie Control dialog:
