Step 1 – Select HUI mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

To use your FaderPort 8 within ProTools you’ll first need to ensure the FP8 is set to HUI mode.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Power off the FaderPort 8<\/li>\n
  2. Hold the first and second “Select” buttons on the FP8<\/li>\n
  3. Power the unit back on<\/li>\n
  4. Once the unit has powered up and displays “Select Control Mode” across the top of the scribble strips you can release the Select buttons<\/li>\n
  5. Select “HUI”<\/li>\n
  6. Press the eighth “Select” button (“EXIT” will be displayed on the scribble strip above this Select button)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You are now in HUI mode on your FaderPort 8 and will remain in HUI mode even if you power the device off. To change to a different mode execute the steps listed above but select a different mode (such as MCU or Studio One mode).<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Step 2 – Configure the Peripheral menu in ProTools<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open ProTools<\/li>\n
    2. Open the “Setup” drop down menu and select “Peripherals”\"\"<\/li>\n
    3. Set “Type” to “HUI”<\/li>\n
    4. Select FaderPort8 (may appear as “PreSnsFP8”) under “Receive From” and “Send to” \"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Your FaderPort 8 will now be synced for use with ProTools.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[42006,53950,101726,36320,55254,54157,53760,33883,53649],"storecat":[],"itemids":[111903],"manufacturers":[33631,33207],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n
