Trying to find reasons why I shouldn’t buy the SSL UF8 - other than some buttons not in use for Cubase its all looking pretty good. However, I have one queston which could break the deal.
Using Groove Agent 5 with multiple outs enabled. Will the SSL UF8 treat each multiple out as a seperate track? Therefore, I can use channel eq, inserts etc from the UF8 on each multiple out with in Groove agent.
I would be very surprised if the answer was no but would love some confirmation on this before I go for it.
My only suggestion would be to consider an Avid S1 instead. Eucon is a much deeper and more robust protocol than Mackie and delivers much better Cubase integration and feature access including, for example, understanding hidden tracks. I have used Avid Eucon controllers for years and have also tried just about everything else out there and, honestly, nothing comes close. In fact I just demo’d a UF1 and UF8 becuase I bought a UC1 and love it. The other two controllers were, for me at least, a dissappointment.
My personal experience with the Avid device was bad. The device became disconnected very often, it was not recognized, lots of stability issues. It was 10 years ago, but since then I don’t trust the products.
Thanks for the replies… dont need too much more integration than whats provided with MCU to be honest. I have an excellent mouse hover thingy and can fly around cubase with key commands. Also, correct me if im wrong but to get the most out of the avid requires an ipad which isnt for me. Would probably get too distracted with the amazing IOS sequencers and stuff, which I certainly dont need, haha - appreciate the suggestion though.
So just for clarity …
Are you saying the SSL UF8 wont detect multiple outs as separate tracks?
