SSL UF8ELGATO STREAMDECK The UF8 has a great keyboard macro feature that is both able to communicate directly with your DAW and also utilise DAW keyboard shortcuts. the latter is used here to add the SSL Channel Strip to each track. The 360 software allows you to add an assortment of command types to play... Continue Reading →
Nowadays a lot of manufacturers recognise that over time musicians and producers alike are going to want to move up from the initial 8 mixer tracks that come as a part of their control surface and move up to 16, 24 or 32 tracks. But what if your Control Surface manufacturer doesn't make an extender... Continue Reading →
After installing the Eucon Client service and the "EU Control" it was relatively easy to get the Mix working over an ethernet connection to my PC (literally just an ethernet cable from the back of my PC into the back of the Mix). The Control software for the mix and other AVID/Euphonix devices I should... Continue Reading →
Using an old EMAGIC MCU as an extender
So I have to say hats off to SSL for moving the DAW control surface forward with the UF8 (albeit while keeping one foot firmly in our Mackie compatible past).

So throughout the day I have been looking at how this controller works with FL Studio and as I see a particular bit of functionality being demonstrated by SSL I have found myself wondering if it will work with FL Studio. One such piece of functionality is the focus control - where the "big knob"... Continue Reading →
I hadn't anticipated that this would be quite so easy to use so thought I would do this second post just to show this functionality in FL Studio as it stands now. Essentially it is the same as with the supported DAWs and might just be the stand out feature of the UF8! I can... Continue Reading →
So I got my hands on a UF8 this morning and I thought it would be interesting to see how an (as yet) officially unsupported DAW like FL Studio works with a UF8 "out of the box". Setup was straightforward - SSL 360 creates the required Midi channel(s) to enable FL Studio to recognise the... Continue Reading →
I borrowed my mates Faderport for a weekend to see how well (if at all?) an unsupported DAW like FL would manage with it. I didn't have time for a "deep dive" but the Faderport handled all the basic operations remarkably well (and with the new scripting support in FL Studio I would guess that... Continue Reading →
