Behringer X touch just learning

[bassface]

Sorry its me again..

I am trudging thru the very brief and not in depth MCU help file in Cakewalk

so please bear with me...most things ive got sorted but i might take the liberty

of your knowledge and experience with the things i dont/cant understand.

Right now i cant automate the mute button ..the pan and fader automates fine

and im sure im following the instructions correctly 

but i cant get the X Touch to affect the mute button..it works from within Cake but not otherwise.

Also (not important) the MCU help file indicates that i should be able to switch 

auto read on and off with the (yes) the read /off button but it doesnt do that.

PS ...any links to more in depth manual/tutorial etc will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Hi bassface,

I was also unable to get mute automation to work with X-touch on Sonar Platinum and Cakewalk BandLab. I figured it was a bug that never got addressed so I just ended up doing mute automation from Console view.

A while ago I made a Sonar (Cakewalk) overlay for X-touch using the help files and photos of Mackie overlays. I've attached a screenshot for your reference.

Cheers!

I tried for hours two years or more ago and then gave up.

I don't remember if I submitted a trouble ticket back then, but after Cakewalk went out of business I figured it was a lost cause.

Maybe the BandLab team will give it a look?
