control surface to your ATEM switcher provides you with the ability to use both hands and
adjust multiple audio levels at the same time.
An audio mixer control surface can be connected to your Mac or PC as a MIDI device using
Mackie Control commands to communicate with the ATEM switcher.
Many third party MIDI control surfaces are compatible with your ATEM switcher but please
check with the manufacturer of your control surface if in doubt.
You can adjust multiple audio levels at the same time by connecting a hardware audio mixer to the computer
which is running ATEM Software Control.
Connecting Your Audio Mixer Control Surface
1 Connect your compatible MIDI control surface to your Mac or PC. Most modern control
surfaces use USB.
2 Verify your control surface is recognized by your computer as a MIDI device.
For Mac computers, go to Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup and launch the
application. Go to the Window menu and choose Show MIDI Window. Ensure your control
surface appears as a MIDI device in this window.
For Windows computers, go to Device Manager/Sound, Video and Game Controllers and
ensure your control surface appears in the list of icons.
3 The ATEM audio mixer is designed to communicate with your control surface using
Mackie Control commands so your control surface will need to support Mackie Control.
You’ll also need to make sure your control surface is configured to use native Mackie
Control or Mackie Control emulation. Please refer to your control surface’s user manual for
configuration details.
Some control surfaces offer several types of Mackie Control emulation and you should
choose the one that activates the most features on your control surface. For example, with
the Behringer BCF 2000, choosing “Mackie Control Mapping for Cakewalk Sonar 3 [MCSo]”
enables level faders, bank selectors, balance control, AFV and ON/MUTE functions and
also activates the LED screen which displays which bank of faders you have selected for
your audio mix. The LED screen will not activate if you choose another Mackie Control
emulation.
