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!
I can’t wait to receive mine. I finally got an interface that supports Mac and figured out how to midi my MPC 2000. This will be perfect for mixing down each track.
Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me, I'm trying to install two mixers together but they conflict, let's say Cubase always sees one even if the two mixers are turned on, sometimes when I tried to configure, seeing two smc mixers inside Cubase, only one always worked one, do you know if there is a way to put two? Thanks
first of all thanks for the answer, I tried just as you say by configuring the controllers on Cubase I selected Mackie Control 1 and then I selected Mackie Control 2 again but as soon as I open Cubase one works and the other as if it doesn't read it, only once when Cubase started it turned on both but only moved two faders but both mixers
Can shift b used to send additional cc messages from controls when held down or is it just for utility purposes? It would be nice if it worked to double up the ccs sent by the unit.
Can you use the USB cable to transmit midi data as well as power, instead of using the Bluetooth? I am thinking the USB cable would be a faster transmission and better response time than Bluetooth.
@@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?
Can this device work with a cable? or is it possible to connect to the mwave 5din midi receiver? I want to send a signal to midi in 5din in the instrument.
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 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
Hey! I bought one after watching your review but I noticed that the M S R buttons don't light up in Bluetooth mode even when they are engaged. Did I get a faulty unit?
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.
Don’t know about Mac stuff as i don’t own one and about note messages, i think it can, but not sure. I would have to take a look. Maybe somebody here can answer. 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. :)
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?
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.
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!
Hi everyone, yes I found the solution, I connected the first via USB and the other via Bluetooth if you connect both with USB or both with Bluetooth they conflict then I installed synco where I connect the mixer to Bluetooth
Hi, I have two but I later discovered that the computer can only read one, they can't be paired but otherwise I recommend it!! If anyone who reads my comment has the solution to recognize multiple mixers, write to us
Hi everyone, yes I found the solution, I connected the first via USB and the other via Bluetooth if you connect both with USB or both with Bluetooth they conflict then I installed synco where I connect the mixer to Bluetooth
in addition to the two SMC mixers as already mentioned, one connected via USB and the other via Bluetooth, I have the SMC Pad which in Cubase I have to connect to USB but after connecting the two mixers and starting Cubase it may happen that on the first attempt Cubase does not recognize it but by closing and repeating this action it connects together to the two mixers without any other problem
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.
The whole testing gave me an euphoric feelings, so comfortable 😢
I’m glad you liked it :)
Can´t wait to receive mine :) Thanks! I´ve waited for this vídeo for weeks!!!

Great review Marius!
Thank you!
Can tou connect more than one bluetooth vave device
Different kind of m-vave. For example, you can’t connect 2 mixers, but you can connect one mixer and one pad.
What happen if i have more of 8 channels , and i have set his volumes....if i change to the 2nds channels.... afecct their other volumes??
There is a button on the device to get you to the next 8 channels, and another to go back
@@Marius_Tarceatu and what happens with the previous volume? the new track adopt de volume of the previous canal??...thanks for reply
@engellopez541 nothing happens. It stays the same.
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.
Hi following this since posted. Any feedback?

You are welcome :)
Good review!
Thank you! 😀
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
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 😃
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!
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
Can it handle banks like in the first version of nanokontrol?
I don’t know how the nanokontrol is but it has 8 banks of 8 tracks that you can control at a time
bluetooth not connect on my macbook and this controller
I don’t have a Macbook so i can’t tell you :(
How to use CC mode in ableton and how to Map it?
Hi, what is the length of the faders ? They look longer than the ones of the NanoKontrol 2 that are only 30mm
They are 50 mm 😃
Can shift b used to send additional cc messages from controls when held down or is it just for utility purposes?
It would be nice if it worked to double up the ccs sent by the unit.

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?

I don’t have an Android. You can ask on the m-vave facebook channel. It’s in my description.
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
Hi is there a way to easily switch the knobs between track panning and send A and send B? Thanks
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
Hey! I bought one after watching your review but I noticed that the M S R buttons don't light up in Bluetooth mode even when they are engaged. Did I get a faulty unit?
Don’t know. They should light up even in bluetooth mode, but only in the Daw mode.
Can i use it on my ipad? My DAW is cubasis 2
It should work but i am not 100%
I heard it works with Voice meter Banana in windows.
Don’t know 😅
Hi, would it work with OBS Studio for streaming? For controling mic, games and another stuff?
Don't really know. Haven't tried it.
@ could you try for me please? 🙏
Is this compatible with Logic Pro?
Don’t really know. Should be
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?
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 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.
can it control digital mixers like the Behringer XR18?
I don’t think so!
@@Marius_Tarceatu with mixing station app, yes
That’s nice +1 😃
Is there a Ableton preset (not just Mackie Control) ? Same question for the SMC pad.
I don’t know. Don’t think so!
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.
I already have it but I watch reviews anyway 😂 it’s cool to see how people are using it.
Haha, sound good 😃
Hi. Do the faders move? Are they automated to follow the daw ?
Nope, they are not.
Also, can the midi messages sent be edited? Is there a software editor (mac?) and can the buttons also send note messages I wonder?
Don’t know about Mac stuff as i don’t own one and about note messages, i think it can, but not sure. I would have to take a look. Maybe somebody here can answer. Cheers!
Does it only have 1 bank of eight faders?
You can switch to the next 8, and then the next, and so on, if that is what you are asking.
@@Marius_Tarceatu yes, How many desks does it have in total?
@raffoasus4086 i think 8 but i’m not sure now
this video would be useful if you explained how you mapped to ableton using cc mode
I used the Daw mode in this video.
Serve pra controlar no kontakt?
You can set it up to control cc 1 and 11, if that is what you are asking.
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. :)
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?
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!
how did you set it up in logic pro?
I didn’t in logic
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.
