Converting a D8B to a full fledged DAW Controller (w/o MIDI)

[rcb4t2]

Hi Marc - congrats on the latest progress. You said the program is now an .exe - where does that leave us mac users? Thanks.

Marc, you are the man! This one of the most awesome developments for small studio engineers in a while. Which is why I hate to be a broken record, but is there any hope for the future of Mac users?

Now, less talk, more rock, here's the new video showing all the advancements made in the last weeks:



As always, comments are welcome, thanks for watching and being so patient!

Marc

Wow !!! Wow !!! Wow !!! Are you fu@ing kidding me????

That's far more than what I could possibly imagine. What an incredible work you have done for the d8b community of users and owners. This means that my old lady will still be in use for many many years.

That EQ implementation with the faders is absolutely brilliant. Thanks !!!

In the video I can see the channel number display (the one at the right side of the meters) running numbers fast. What are they?

You also mention Plug-ins edition. Could you please elaborate?

You didn't showed us how the Write and Read automation buttons works. I guess, as you said, you were to tired to remember everything.

I have to say, after seeing this video, I definitely need some new faders. My hunt for faders have just began. Or maybe a new second hand board... whatever shows up first.

Finally let me thank you and Frank for the huge effort and work done to make this happen. I've always believed that this was the logical upgrade Mackie should have given us and they didn't. Shame on them.

Long live to the d8b and the BRIDGE !!!

I note that you now have fader 1 working properly, Marc. Cool stuff!

I noticed fader one "stuck" when the session in Nuendo was opened and playing, but with the automation running it was moving... Hardware/software???

Well I now have to fix the hole in my ceiling and also the floor from jumping up and down with pure joy. I am still amazed at this... it seems not possible and really is like a dream. Honestly there aren't any words really... Anyway...

I know it is early, but I still want to be able to toggle back and forth between the mixer and the computer program. I am not sure how this would happen but I am sure it is a hardware issue due to the nature of how you get in and out of the d8b "Bridge" (I still think a nod to Marc and Frank MFII is good... but ) I will concede as d8b Bridge seems to have a firm grip on the conciseness of most minds. Cool, I don’t care, it is still the same program.

It might be as simple hardware design of the Dataport cable to be able to convert easily. Also throwing two things into the same host could be catastrophic or not, (it probably will just get confused and not work.) I would be interested in a test to see if the "old school" equipment was hooked up (except for the datacable) - Actually it seems that it will work as long as you do not load the software on top of another.

Please correct if incorrect. As a final note... AWESOME!!!!!!

Marc and Frank, that’s truly INCREDIBLE stuff guys!!!

Peter, let him sleep for a day or two and I’m sure once he’s got his notes in front of him, he’ll prepare a demonstration that we’ll all need more than just a ceiling and floor repair that Michael mentioned 
