Support for Mackie HUI

You can use HUI communications protocol to interface between the audio control surface and Adobe Audition. The protocol allows Audition and a connected hardware control surface to synchronize the states of their faders, buttons, jog wheels, and displays.

Note:

Note: Support for control surfaces that emulate HUI depends on the device’s implementation of the protocol.

To connect your HUI-compatible device with Audition, follow these steps:

  1. Select Edit > Preferences > Control Surface (Windows) or Adobe Audition > Preferences > Control Surface (MAC).

  2. In the Preferences dialog box, click Add

  3. In the Add Control Surface dialog box, select HUI.
