The Mackie Control Universal doesn't work the best in FL Studio.. the workflow is pretty tricky honestly.. the best workflow I've found is getting a MIDI Keyboard.. and setting up knobs/sliders individually.. I created a HANDS-ON MIXING COURSE in FL Studio Here:

This vid is so old , but the marker button is shift for FL, Shift F8 opens plugins from the mixer. Make sure that when you're touching buttons you look at the screen of the MCU because it will tell you what its doing
Thanks for sticking around man, appreciate your comments..
You can auto set it up in many plugins by using omni controller feature in FL. Lets say parametic eq. Just use multi control (or whatever it is called) then use omni link to controller.
Every time you open a parametric the controller will control the 8 bands any way u want.
Just set it up one time the way you want and it will work after that. 👍
🎯
Hey can you give more details on this workflow, thanks!
I couldn't find an overlay for FL Studio, so I found a picture of the layout online and just added labels for every button so I know what it does.
Ikr 😩 but Google fl studio overlay for MCU you'll find 1 guy in a forum who will help with this issue
Nice job just bought one used from Indy store .... using with Nuendo
He i just wanted to say you are doing A good job Your voice is not annoying and you dont repeat yourself and the speed is very comfortable
I had to say it hahaha
Steven Mol Haha, well I appreciate it! - Thanks a lot !
Minnesota accent I know it when I hear it lol
Thx alot, man. Vid helped me a little to sort out things with PXT-General to emulate MCU mode for my ableton push 1. And i think you better remind people in this vid (make an annotation or put it into vid's description) that they should use 102 port to receive information.
Great video very detailed thanks
i have a question, the latest version of mackie, " MCU Pro8", is compatible with fl studio11 and 12?
Hi I finally I set up with fl studio but I have a problem I can controll the faders on Mackie with the mouse but I can not use the Mackie for control the faders of the mixer on fl studio and When I play something on fl studio the Mackie works but I can not use the play, rewind, forward and stop and the other stuff on Mackie what I have to do how do I set up every knobs I did exactly what you said and other video I went to fl studio to my interface and I put port 102 I enable Mackie universal I don't know what else to do for my Mackie works perfect like you
Dude, Image-Line should give you a medal.
+Ido Maimon lol thanks! - Knew this video would help others out there who are interested in getting one! In all honesty, I really don't feel it's worth getting the Mackie when using it with FL Studio at this time.. just not a smooth enough workflow in terms of opening plugins and stuff.. My own opinion though, of course!
+Beatstruggles the funny thing in all that story: since i wrote the comment you replied to till now, i bought a used unit just like yours in 250$ :)) thanks a lot for that video - you literally saved my life.

$250 isn't bad! - Hope you enjoy it ;)

Hi there I tray everything to make my Mackie work and other guy has one told me when you updated to v2.1.2 the mackies get crazy with all other daws just work perfect with pro tools and its true he just work well with the v1.0.1 the wish one you have and 2.1.1 and I found other guy with those versions and we try in my PC and fl worked well and ableton live 9 too he told me I need to reset my to the factory driver and gonna work well but I don't know how to reset it to clean up the 2.1.2 do you know how can do it
Hi Not my has the 2 midi in and out like you but I just found my its the Mackie control universal Hui the thing its was cover by the overlays of pro tools but I would like to know if i can send you some pics and you can see it and one more thing the first time when you start Mackie with fl studio you have to set up each fader and knob one by one

Thanks.. I would like to use it more.. but it's not the best workflow for FL Studio.. :(

Thank you sir
I traied to find on Google but I can't because I just find the guide for the Mackie pro the white one and what I saw in your Mackie control on top of the blue screen says different in the first corner your Mackie says logic control and the other top corner says emagic and my says in the first top corner Mackie and the other top says logic control its my different version of yours or can work like your with fl studio because everything else its the same
HOW DO YOU GET STEREO FOR EACH CHANNEL? IM ON A MAC PRO USING FLSTUDIO AND X32
do a video with it and fl 12 plz
How would you go about to select a part (audio voice for example), copy and paste it at the end of a song? Didn’t find any videos on any daw controller with those basic editing functions..... just like in final cut pro,,,you hold the mouse over a video or audio or both scroll to select, copy and paste where you want it,,,,simple editing,,,,,,,cant find anything that says : insert point here then jog to desired place, push ‘’end point’’ push ‘’copy button’’ then jog to end of song then push ‘’paste button’’ to duplicate .... would that be possible to use the ‘’function’’ buttons and program them to be: IN, OUT, COPY, PASTE, DELETE ? Thank you for your input!
Use copy delete and paste. Use the jog wheel yo target which audio clips or samples you want to cut copy and paste
Hi, I just saw one of these on our local version of Ebay. Five years later, just wondering if you are still using it and would you recommend it for FL20 or have you moved onto something else? Thanks.
I recommend a mouse for FL Studio.. hit me up at itsGratuiTous.com to keep learning FL Studio with me!
Hi there finally my Mackie its working with fl studio 11but I have a problem I can control the Mackie using the mouse on fl studio but I can not use the Mackie for control the faders and all the others stuff on fl studio what else I need to do? Do you set up each knob one by one first including the play,rewind stop and all the others knobs on mackie
DJ CHONI Make sure to adjust both of the ports as 102? So, both the IN and OUT? Hit F10, go to MIDI Settings, and put 102 for both boxes !
Does this version of the mackie work with all versions of protools?
You have to be careful - some of the Mackie's don't have the upgrade. I think it's the HUD upgrade? This allows whether the Mackie can be used in Pro Tools or not!
Hi there how can I do for program with fl studio when its the first time because I bought my and I saw your other video but when I turn on my for first time this calibrate the faders but after that the red numbers on the screen disappear and just appear on the blue screen small horizontal lines like that -------- I asked some one else and he says this Mackie has 3 different forms to work when you turn on the 1st its Mackie control the 2nd its Hui for any program and the 3rd its just for logic he told me when its the 2nd form its for set up with any software but I don't know what else to do when this appear and 2nd form what means Hui Can you tell me please how you did it the first time you turned on your Mackie I saw your other video howbto set up with fl studio but on that video its ready to work when you turn it on can you tell me please thanks
DJ CHONI Hey - I haven't had to deal with this, but I do recall reading about it! I'd search on Google to see about "Changing Mackie Control Mode" or something along those lines to see what you can come up with.
Let me know what you find !
damn that's an expensive mouse!
hey bro you save all your tweaked knobs in fl studio so you dont have to keep mapping them i did this with the nektar p1 i jus got the presonus fador port working fl studio as well
Hi there I'm sorry I'm watching all your videos about Mackie other thing I found its your Mackie on top where the numbers f1 to f8 its your Mackie doesn't have letters my on top there says Mackie pro tools Hui so I saw your other video you said your its 1st version so which version its my because I saw other video from other guy and it says on top f1 to f8 Mackie control universal
DJ CHONI Does your Mackie have a USB port? If so, use that! - If not, you have two MIDI Cables correct?
DJ CHONI I also found the manual - www.mackie.com/pdf/MCU_QS.pdf -- Go to page 3, and read about "Changing Modes" - It runs you through the process. Let me know if you get it or not !
Can you freaking answer I told you I need help mapping this god dang
😂🤣

Why use FL Studio when the Mackie Control Universal Pro was designed to work hand in hand with Logic Pro X? It's seems that allot of the people her are having issues where their should be none. From what I understand when you open your DAW and power up the Mackie Control Universal Pro it automatically maps all the MIDI information so you don't have to.
Also it seems that FL Studio is very hard to use when Logic Pro X is very easy. Switch to LPX and problem solved.
Just a thought.
Paul Schmdit The Mackie is fun to use when it comes to the motorized faders etc. But when it comes to plugins, that's where the problem comes in.. :(
This is a very Apple fan type of comment. Fl studio is very easy to learn and Mackie MCU is universal that's what the U stands for 🤣 it's works great with all DAWs🤷🏾♂️
Is doesnt work on fl studio 20
I was searching and I don't found nothing for Fl studio 20 there is no option for us with this mixer ? if someone knows how to set this mixer Mackie univeral Daw control for Fl studio 20 ?
Hi, I'm looking at one of these. I'm in FL20 and it shows up in n the drop down menu for midi controllers. Were you able to make it work? Thanks.
It does. In your DAW FL studio. Set your midi channels to 102 select mackie control instead of generic controller. If it still doesn't work download the Manuel PDF file from mackie and change the emulation mode from HUI to Mackie universal control. It's as simple as holding a button while you power it on
@@ROSCOEV it works read my other comment
there is a booger on your Mackie Control universal
😂😂🤣 booger 🤣
