Want the single most powerful creative tool available for your studio? No, it's not some newwhiz-bang keyboard or effects processor. In fact, the concept is rather simple: Automation.Just a few years ago, automation was the domain of the privileged few with major-labelcontracts. But today, YOU can be liberated from endless repetitive tasks and be free toconcentrate on shaping your true musical vision, not worrying about exactly when to bringthe faders up for that big crescendo. You can now finally have the perfect mix, instead ofsettling for 'almost right.'
The people at Mackie Designs - the same ones who literally redefined the concept of theaffordable, professional quality mixer - have introduced a new Universal Automation Systemspecifically designed for the MIDI-based studio. This system consists of three interrelatedelements: the Ultra-34 Gain Cell Unit, Ultramix Pro software for the Macintosh, and the Ultrapilothardware controller. Mackie's automation package is not only the absolute leader in the 'affordable'automation category, it even offers you capabilities lacking in the stratospherically-priced'big studio' systems.
Ultra-34 is a 34-channel VCA system for MIDI control of fader levels and muting. It connects tovirtually any mixer via the unit's channel (or main) inserts. A duplicate insert patchbay isthoughtfully provided on the front of the Ultra-34. Up to four Ultra-34s can be daisy-chained andsimultaneously controlled via the Ultramix Pro software for continuous, real-time automation of upto 136 line-level signals.
Ultramix Pro software provides a virtual representation of the Ultrapilot large-format fader pack.It can simultaneously control up to 128 input channels plus eight main left/right outputs. ThisMac-based software features sub-groups, graphic editing, the ability to play MIDI files and fullOMS 2.0 compatibility for use with Mackie OMS drivers. The program also offers a reduced systemrequirement allowing Ultramix Pro to run on systems as small as the compact (and downright cheap)Mac Classic, yet it can also run in native Power Mac mode at lightning-fast speeds.
Ultrapilot was designed as a large-format hardware controller to be used specifically with 24 to128-channel consoles. It has 32 input faders and mutes, a master fader with master mute, and controlsfor MIDI machine controlled devices and popular digital multitrack transports.
We could spend many pages detailing all the features of both the Ultra hardware and software, buthere is the bottom line: Automation allows you to finally focus on the sound of your mix, ratherthan on the mechanics of actually doing the mixing. Automation lets you listen. If you're preoccupiedwith remembering a complex series of fader moves, you're never going to be able to focus your completeattention on listening. With automation, you have the luxury of hearing your music without mechanicaldistractions. Do a mix, then sit back and just listen. Listen two times or a dozen. If you're tired,listen to it tomorrow. There's no hurry because with the Ultra system, it's all saved.
At this point, you're probably thinking, 'Well, this all sounds pretty good, but can I actually affordit?' Prices for a basic Ultra Automation System begin at just $2797 and includes everything you need toget started doing automated mixes (with the exception of a mixer and a Mac, of course). This is a tinyprice to pay for all the hundreds of hours you're going to save at mixing sessions.
And since you're going to be installing an automation system, isn't it about time to think aboutupgrading that old boat anchor of a mixer that's really too noisy for today's squeaky-clean digitalmixes? Of course it is, and what better match for the Ultra System can there be but one of the incredibleMackie 8-Bus Consoles in 16, 24 or 32 channel configurations.
The 8-Bus Series has set new standards for big console quality and outstanding value. Mackie's innovativeengineering made it possible to create an affordable 8-bus console with better headroom, less noise andmore features (like 4-band EQ) than models costing twice as much. List prices for a 16-channel 8-Bus startat just $3199.
So what are you waiting for? Get a jump start on your creativity by installing a Mackie 8-Bus console inyour studio along with the Ultra Automation System. Your Sweetwater sales engineer can provide you withplenty of information, some good advice and your special pricing on these superb Mackie systems.
Over the last thirty years I've used most home recording type gear in professional and semi-professional environments.
I moved from analogue to MDMs in the 90's and have used most of the hardware DAWs made by Roland, Akai and Yamaha as I never liked mixing on a PC. I've had a plethora of analogue desks over the years and have now settled on a system that has a Soundtracs Solo mixer as the bridge between analogue and digital. As such I record to a Fostex G24S 1' reel to reel, then digitise the recordings via 3 Behringer ADA8200 via a RME HAMMERFALL 9652 ADAT card. Once digitised I can then run Cubase as a tape recorder perfecting the mix using the Ultramix system ( a VCA system that sits on the Soundtracs Solo insert points.), before turning the G24S back on for a final mix pass. Now you may think me mad for wanting such a clunky system, but the sound of tape (even 1') with an analogue desk (and this desk in particular) adds a compression and bass end that kicks. I've never been able to mix digital signals that achieve the same punch or ability to 'gel'. The problem is this.
Because the Ultramix is such an old system, the software won't run well on Win 10. I have got it to run of a fashion using Windows Compatibility settings, but it isn't stable. I can run it on a laptop using Win XP but that means editing the mix data using the original software which was never updated or barely finished and in comparison to Cubase isn't a patch. So after fudging this for a while it got me thinking that the best results would be made by harnessing the Ultramix's best bits (the Ultrapilot control surface and the 19' rack's VCAs) and trying to use the midi data within Cubase or a VST editor that would run in Cubase. Using Midi-Ox I've identified the data that the Ultrapilot kicks out and now need to use something like Ctrlr.org to design something to fit. Problem is I'm a real novice at something like this. Is there anything within Cubase itself (I remember making simple editors in Cubase 3.1 forAtari...does the PC have something similar?). I don't really want to simply map the Ultrapilot onto Cubase's mixer as this wouldn't allow me to send the data out for a final mix when playing the G24S (I think?).
So has anyone any ideas on a way forward?
Thanks,
Al
