SL Mixface by studiologic with Cakewalk

[Tobias Landmann]

I recently bought the SL Mixface by studiologic and wanted to write automation with it. I got the mackie control working so far. I can adjust the volume for each track and also start and stop the recording but I can't seem to find out how to write my automation with it. I edited the controllers so that the first 4 faders are set to cc1, cc2, cc7 and cc11 and I can adjust the dynamics and expression while I play the recording but it doesn't work when i want to write the automation info.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

I feel kind of stupid to reply this but all I had to do was to press the record button and then record the automation data. Well the case is solved now i guess

Hi, I thought to share some new findings how to use SLMixFace with Cakewalk Sonar Version 2024.09. I bought a used SL MixFace and had trouble to connect with Sonar to get it work right. I reviewed all previous recommendations and they worked sort of good, but not completely. However meanwhile I found the solution and so far everything works: Transport Control, Faders, Buttons, Inserts, Loops, etc. 

The setup is as follows: 

- For MIDI Device add  MIDIIN3 (SLMIXUSB) and MIDIOUT3 (SLMIXUSB) - Port 3 of SL Mixface is used for transport control. 

 - In Control Surfaces add the SL MiXface as Mackie Control and assign the in- and outport as described above

- In Mackie Control Preferences select the options show below. NOTE: Select the Mackie Control Universal (Cubase Mode) Protocol. 

- in SL MixFace Global Settings -> DAW Port and type select as PORT USB port 3  (no other option except bluetooth is available) and TYPE: Cubase-Nuendo. 

Now SL MixFace is set to Cubase mode and MackíeControl in Sonar is also set to Cubase protocal. 

That setup works just perfect for me. 

Have fun playing !
