I have an iPad for my home setup. Cubase IC and PT Control are installed on it. But as I work on post stuff, and have an intensive use of automation. So I use the iPad as an third monitor to show the automation panel. I only use Cubase IC or PT Control when on location with the laptop.
I know that the channel will disappear when it is disabled. I have offered that discovery as a work around on the Avid forum. This suggestion was immediately shot down because you lose the audio output when it’s disabled, as opposed to just hidden. That’s a fair point. But I was trying to point out the one desired advantage. Bottom line, that’s still a big problem. In fact, besides the tracks page crashing issue, I couldn’t think of a more urgent concern.
The thing about improving something is that it assumes you’re adding to something that works, not substituting it for something you had. They fixed the crashing problem. Great! But now I lose banking?
If they weren’t going to make Avid Control backward compatible, they should have left the PT Control App as an option for all of us Artist Series Users.
@fenderchris: You can create an avid account with no hardware on the main avid site. Afterwards just install the app on any device and it will activate the eucon suite for download based on your login data. I don’t own any avid hardware also. Just did that and tested it on my lg g2, how nice they have android support now.
Fenderchris, load the Avid Control tablet on the “surfaces” tab in the eucontrol settings. There should be an icon on the task bar.
Drag and drop to add it in “my surfaces”.
I’m afraid your Nexus 7 tablet might be too old to work correctly…
Try right clicking the Eucontrol App, that should bring up the menu selections. On my Mac right now but I believe you’re looking for Eucontrol Settings. That will bring you the window where you can add to “my surfaces” if your tablet will work with it. john
think you installed the wrong option - uninstall everything by running the installer again - then install just the FIRST option - which is the EUcontrol software - reboot
it adds a bit of software to the windows startup group - this runs when you reboot and asks to install a service…should be straightforward from there but let me know if it doesn’t
(reinstall the elicencer software to fix that error - google is your friend here)
you are over complicating it
REMOVE from “studio setup” in nuendo
then UNINSTALL the EUcontrol software as I mentioned above - remove EVERYTHING (did I say to do that ?)
reboot
install with ONLY THE FIRST OPTION selected as I mentioned previously - it even says “CONTROL” on that option to give you a clue - do not install workstation !!!
then when it reboots (again) is should ask you to update firmware - you don’t have any avid stuff to update so just ignore - and set not to remind you again
it then asks to configure what devices you have - add your avid control app here, it obviously needs to be running for you PC to see it.
IF YOU DON’T GET THE AUTOMATIC CONFIGURE OPTION when you boot then then look in the window notification area there is an EUcontrol icon where you can add your AVID CONTROL APP
If there is anything you are unclear about then ask - but just randomly messing about and guessing isn’t going to fix it - just follow the instructions without adding random bits
ps there is also a windows control panel item if you want to configure mackie control - won’t need this with nuendo
