BUY PRO TOOLS SOFTWARE
Most if not all DAW software implement the HUI protocol. Many hardware controllers/ consoles with a control surface layer such as the Yamaha DM2000, Novation Launchkey, SSL AWS900, etc use this protocol. HUI is a protocol that uses MIDI and is now a industry standard used very widely. HUI or Human User Interface allows for non-Avid/ Digidesign hardware such as the Mackie HUI to take control of basic features of Pro Tools such as faders, panning, mutes, solo, automation and some restricted plug-in control.
This protocol was created by Mackie and Digidesign in 1997 for Mackie HUI, the first control surface for Pro Tools. This is called a control protocol and there are three main control protocols. In order to control features and parameters inside Pro Tools, a language must exist that both the DAW and the controlling device use. In this article I will try to explain how Pro Tools communicates with such devices and I will also be talking about the relevance of including such a device in your setup. They come in all shapes and sizes and there are plenty manufacturers out there making DAW controllers that either have lots of pads or a console-like look, with faders and rotary encoders. Out of this need of more tactile and natural interfacing with the DAW came the DAW controller. However, most of us still feel the need of a better way to interact with our digital studio, Pro Tools – the mouse and keyboard just seem so far from creative most of times when mixing they are great for editing but even for this job it would still be nice to have a more tactile way of doing things.
However, most project studios nowadays do not employ a console in their setup for two obvious reasons: cost and size. I wonder what producer out there doesn’t imagine himself/ herself in front a large format mixing console when they think about what they do.
