Just with setting everything up to be just like it is in my DAW (Logic Pro) I’m trying to set all the sliders to faders and knobs to pan and I am struggling with knowing how to in the app and what everything means 😂😅
Just try the Daw mode, it’s all set up for you. Check out the video, i talk about it. If you want your own settings, you can search for cc messages, and what they mean and do. There are websites for that. Cheers!
It’s not too much of a video. You just select midi in and out to go on the mixer, and i can’t remeber if you also have to put the mackiecontrol on control surface, but you can try both ways. :)
Hi, I am struggling use this SMC Mixer to FL studio mobile on android. It connects but does not link the cc to each channel but to all. I was wondering if this midi device simply does not support FL studio mobile. Any idea?
hi what is daw mode? can you customize the cc sent? it has some kind of "pages" so you can use multiple banks of faders?i want to use it with mixing station to control my digital mixer
Thanks. There are only the the cc mode and the daw mode that you can switch on the fly. You can save as many presets for the cc mode as you want, but you must enter midi suite to change it.
Hello. Thank you for your useful video. Looks like a neat device. I have a keyboard without pitch and mod wheel control. May I use a fader as a mod wheel one?
Hi Marius, Thanks for your review! I would like to use this device not as a hardware mixer, but simply to use the faders as MIDI Continuous Controllers. In your experience, is it possible to assign a MIDI controller in a sample library (Kontakt or something similar) without having to use the VAVE editor? I'm not too interested in Bluetooth. A USB cable is fine: does this device behave correctly (transmit data) over the USB cable? Cheers, Giorgio from Italy
Hey. Well you have to use the editor and assign what midi messages it sends. Also, using midi cc 1 and 11 to control your modulation and vibrato in a strings sample library works just fine. Cheers!
I guess you can set your faders in cc mode to control the sends and then switch between DAW and CC mode. That’s just off the top of my head. Let me know if it works :)
Iv not purchased it since this seems like a necessary button , if I used your suggested method I would only be able to control one send and not flick through all sends
How did you get one where the LEDs worked? I, as well as many other people who purchased one are trying to work out how to make them work. Am I missing something you know about? Do you have friends in high places in the Chinese Communist Party? It works great but would be better if the LEDs came on.
Wrong Bro, I just worked it out before I was gonna smash it & get a Nano 2. The stupid Chineezy software doesn't allow any changes in DAW Mode, which is a Chinese kind of Retarded. Only the cc Mode allows changes so you have to Map the fuck out of it but eventually it works, including the LEDs. The MidiSuite software shows that the goons are controlling Ableton in the DAW Mode with, wait fot it, "Note" data, WTF? I was getting notes every time I pressed any of the Track Buttons, I tried to change it but the Software wouldn't allow me. Did someone order a Chinese Clown for the Birthday Party? His name is M-vave & he's fucked in the head. Still, bang for bucks, it does the job. If you get any other people with the same question, the answer is, lose the DAW Mode & map the fuck out of cc Mode. There are enough "Undefined" Midi cc available to do the job. Cya.
if it sends MIDI info, then that's good news for me too. I'm on the fence to buy this thing for a long time now. I use a novation launchpad mini to control anything on my PC (drawing apps, IDE, browser, etc.). I personally use BOME Midi Translator Classic. Other people are using MidiKey2Key. You might want to check that out too.
@@Marius_Tarceatu but I have a windows pc, idk the reason, I was thinking about my Bluetooth version I have Bluetooth 4. What Bluetooth version do you have?
The whole testing gave me an euphoric feelings, so comfortable 😢
I’m glad you liked it :)
I already have it but I watch reviews anyway 😂 it’s cool to see how people are using it.
Haha, sound good 😃
Can´t wait to receive mine :) Thanks! I´ve waited for this vídeo for weeks!!!
I waited a bit for mine, too. It’s a really usefull piece of gear :)

Everything is working but it’s being faders while also doing pitch bend 😂
@@howtobros6063 try setting up another one, not the first fader :)
For Mac, It takes several seconds after connecting Bluetooth until it can be used. But I can accept it for the price.
Yeah, price is pretty good.
how did you connect it with your mac?
Using the blue tooth connection, could you outline your steps?
I have a Macbook pro 14 M1 and it just doesn’t see the SMC-Mixer and SMC-PAD devices, whereas the Android and Windows see the computer and connect it.
@@akibes192 so unless I use the cable with the MacBook?
This was so so helpful thank you very much.
You are welcome :)
Great review! getting one
Nice :)
Good review!
Thank you! 😀
Is there a Ableton preset (not just Mackie Control) ? Same question for the SMC pad.
I don’t know. Don’t think so!
Can two be linked for 16 channels at once? I hate layered mixing.
I don’t have 2 controllers, but i think you can set one for 8 channels, and the second the next 8.
Hello! What mode you use on the controller to use it with ableton for live performance?
@@DSPianoCovers It’s the DAW mode
Hello! Does anyone know if multiple of these products will work well if connected side-by-side to one computer at the same time?
@@gcyn they will work
@@Marius_Tarceatu Oh! Thank you. I'm glad you let me know and I'm also happy about the content itself.
Thanks 😃
Can you do a video on how to setup to your DAW no one has done it
It’s not too much of a video. You just select midi in and out to go on the mixer, and i can’t remeber if you also have to put the mackiecontrol on control surface, but you can try both ways. :)
can it control digital mixers like the Behringer XR18?
I don’t think so!
What keyboard are you playing in the video ?
It’s my yamaha moxf, but i use it only as a midi controller here.
Hi, I am struggling use this SMC Mixer to FL studio mobile on android. It connects but does not link the cc to each channel but to all. I was wondering if this midi device simply does not support FL studio mobile. Any idea?
I don’t have an Android. You can ask on the m-vave facebook channel. It’s in my description.
hi what is daw mode? can you customize the cc sent? it has some kind of "pages" so you can use multiple banks of faders?i want to use it with mixing station to control my digital mixer
Daw mode is factory made preset to control your daw, and the other mode is fully customisable. You use the one you prefer.
Can u map the record enable to a button and get visual feedback ?When assigning in midi map mode (not as control surface)
I do not think so, but not 100% sure
Excellent video, thanks for sharing. How many presets can we save?
Thanks. There are only the the cc mode and the daw mode that you can switch on the fly. You can save as many presets for the cc mode as you want, but you must enter midi suite to change it.
Cool!
Thanks!
Hello. Thank you for your useful video. Looks like a neat device. I have a keyboard without pitch and mod wheel control. May I use a fader as a mod wheel one?
You can, but only thru a computer, not directly connected to the keyboard.
@@Marius_Tarceatu Thank you!

@@Marius_Tarceatu thanks! The device works also just using the MIDI cable (without bluethoot), right?
@@solyarisoftware yes
Hi is there a way to easily switch the knobs between track panning and send A and send B? Thanks

bluetooth not connect on my macbook and this controller
I don’t have a Macbook so i can’t tell you :(
How would I get rid of the pitch bend in the daw mode
I can't remember. i will have to get back at you after i figure it out.
This just undercut the novation launch control.
I think the novation has more controls, but this has bluetooth 😃

Haha, good one. No i don’t. The leds only work on the DAW mode, so try that.

Muito bom 🥰
Thank you! :)
my bluetooth also not working, it doesnt showup in bluetooth list atal
Try setting your blutooth devices discovery to advanced.
it shows up and adds up later it shows not connected @@Marius_Tarceatu
@@Marius_Tarceatu it connects and immediately it gets disconnected and doesnt get connected
Check out my last video!
Do you think it Can be used for streaming ? Like controling the sound of the pc
If your streaming app receives midi info, than yes, otherwise, no.
@@Marius_Tarceatu thanks, or maybe Connect to the Windows sounds, have you done that? Or just the things in the video ?
Mainly the video things.
if it sends MIDI info, then that's good news for me too. I'm on the fence to buy this thing for a long time now.
I use a novation launchpad mini to control anything on my PC (drawing apps, IDE, browser, etc.).
I personally use BOME Midi Translator Classic.
Other people are using MidiKey2Key. You might want to check that out too.
did u test on audio streaming?
the bluetooth not connect on my pc, idk the reason, i have already install the drivers :(
Seems strange. Mine works without problems. Try and switch to daw mode like in the video.
bluetooth is just for android and ios only
@@tutorbagus4208 really? I don’t sure, because in the video he has connected in his pc, isn’t it?
Yeah, it works on PC. Seems it does not work if you have a mac.
@@Marius_Tarceatu but I have a windows pc, idk the reason, I was thinking about my Bluetooth version I have Bluetooth 4. What Bluetooth version do you have?
Serve pra controlar no kontakt?
You can set it up to control cc 1 and 11, if that is what you are asking.
Does anyone know if it's possible to map it for VoiceMeeter? Thanks
If Voicemeeter receives midi info, than it should be possible!
I’m pretty sure you can but I’m not quite sure about the exact process
I’m struggling on setting it up and how to use it
You can be a bit more specific.
Never mind I got it!!!! Thanks
Last thing😂 how could I get rid of the pitch bend
@@howtobros6063 you need to use the cc mode, and go from there
Is this compatible with logic for ipad?
It should be, but don’t quote me on that as i can’t test it. It connects to my iphone.
How can you connect to your iphone? I’ve just got the mixer but it didnt show up when searching for bluetooth device @@
You have to get the app. There’s a QR code on the back of the device.
Thank u, It’s connected but I dont know how to map the buttons and the faders 😢 is there any instruction?
Thanks for the sharing, very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! :)
I already have it but I watch reviews anyway 😂 it’s cool to see how people are using it.
New ideas are always good :)
