| Summary | 0009747: Arm RECORD arms ALL tracks. | ||||
| Description | With Mackie control, while intending to arm one track to record, all tracks arm for recording. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Use Mackie control surface, in my case a Tascam model 12, create a few tracks and arm the first few. From then on, arming and disarming is global (all tracks.) | ||||
| Additional Information | My control surface is known good on many other DAWS that use Mackie Control. (MCU) | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

You would need to get a debug build (available on nightly.ardour.org), run it from the command line with -D mackiecontrol and find out what the button sends. Or use a MIDI monitor app for windows, connected to the Tascam 12, to discover the same thing. I have multiple Mackie Control devices for testing, and have never seen this behavior using any of them. |

This behavior is NOT exhibited while using the Tascam Model 12 in DAW Control Mode with Adobe Audition, Presonus Studio One or Reaper which arm all tracks normally, one at a time. Adobe Audion and Reaper are simply set to receive MCU (generic Mackie control) while Studio One is set to receive the Tascam Model 12 specifically. I only see this behavior using the Tascam Model 12 with Ardour. I have tested it multiple times. It would seem to me that the Tascam is sending the prescribed code for "arm track" since the other DAW's do not have the issue. |

I have 3 MCP devices here on my desk. They all send the MCP message for the global rec-arm button. This does not lead to the behavior you describe. Ergo, either the Tascam 12 sends something different, or there is something else about your session that leads to the behavior indepdendently of Mackie Control. |

I also have a Model 12 and can confirm this behavior. Attaching a midimonitor to the M12:DAW_CONTROL_OUT shows engaging the channel record arm sends Ch1 note_on=$notenum vel=127 (There are 8 strips: M12 Ch1 sends C -1, Ch8 sends G -1) Attaching it to ardour:mackiecontrol_out and using any M12 track arm button track arm results in ardour sending every track an arm mesg There are 9 msgs sent. I'm not sure what the first one is bound to, but the rest is the array of channels |

Thank you. I’m not crazy. I do lack the knowledge to do that research. When Ardour was the only DAW out of 4 to exhibit this behavior, I felt the Tascam was surely not at fault. |
