msmcleod Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 IMHO, the best value controller out there (if you don't mind not having motorized faders) is the Korg nanoKONTROL Studio. The nanoKONTROL 2 is also very good value, but obviously you get limited control and the faders are very small. I regularly use both: the nanoKONTROL Studio is in my office, and the nanoKONTROL 2 is mounted on my studio wall next to my vocal mic so I have transport/mix control while I'm doing vocal takes. The Presonus FaderPort 8/16 are excellent value and have native CbB/SONAR support. The only downside is the the "shared" v-pot for all channels. The desk footprint of the Faderport 16 is very small - it's almost the same as the original MCU - so you get 16 channels using up the same space the MCU uses for 8. The Behringer X-Touch is also an excellent buy, and is the closest to a real MCU. You can get a CbB/SONAR overlay here: https://store.birchwoodstudioandevents.com/Sonar-Overlay which will ensure the buttons match what CbB is expecting. From what I can see, the X-Touch seems to have all of the MCU buttons so you should get support of all CbB's MCU functionality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to put it if i recall well in mackie mode (the uf8) via the software (where you configurate your daw ) in sonar you selecte create a new devices in preferences control surfaces , choose mackie control and in input and ouput choose the uf8 , you might sometime need to relaucnh sonar and check ...not 100% sure but it s the way it s usually done ..

Al3x Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Hi. Unfortunately there is no option where I can put the UF8 into a Mackie mode. You are talking about the SSL 360° Software right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are talking about the SSL 360° Software right? it's automatic according to the daw you chose , if you chose cubase it will do it or studio one , and then you will choose mackie control in sonar , the thing is that then you will have random results , since sonar seems not in the supported list yet ...
