DAW FOCUS
Introduction
When connected to a Digital Audio Workstation which supports either the HUI or Mackie Control Universal (MCU)
protocols, the AWS becomes a powerful digital work surface controller, giving direct access to the most important controls
within the DAW. The console faders can be used to control the workstation faders and sends, the 24 channel V-pots can
be used to control pans, sends and I/O functions and the Master Control Panel and plug-in controller provide easy access
to a range of other parameters.
Provided the Logictivity option has been enabled the AWS can control two DAWs simultaneously from two virtual 'layers'.
For an up to date list of compatible DAW applications please go to the AWS support pages at http://www.solidstatelogic.com
-
Pro Tools and a number of other DAWs support the HUI protocol.
For further information (based on Pro Tools 8) see Pages 4-9 through 4-30.
-
Many other DAWs, including Logic Audio, Sonar, Nuendo and Digital Performer, support the MCU protocol.
For further information, see Page 4-31 onwards.
Please refer to the controller documentation that came with your DAW
A-FADA
A-FADA (Analogue Fader Accesses DAW Automation), is an innovative new way of combining the convenience of DAW
automation with the audio qualities of analogue mixing by using DAW track automation to control the analogue faders. See
Page 4-7 for more details.
