Offered one by a friend, but I use Windows 11 and have no firewire on my system. However, the flying faders make it appealing, but don't want to take it for the sake of it!

My use case, ideally, would be primarily as a DAW controller for my mixing and automation, if I can get it to work. Does it need drivers? Do they work with Windows 11? Or is it a standard protocol Mackie Control device and doesn't need drivers etc?

If I can get it to work, I would then like use it to ADAT into my Audient ID14 MkII for an additional 8 inputs, and then would probably sell off my MOTU 828 FW Mk2, which I'm currently using to ADAT into the Audient ID14 MkII.

Anyone still using the ProjectMix I/O? Anyone using on Windows 11? Anyone using with Ableton?

 

Old post, but I thought I'd chime in. ProjectMix is still a great piece of kit, despite being abandoned by M-Audio/Avid. It does need drivers, which are still available. I can provide, if still relevant. It does have ADAT capability. It does need Firewire, though.

I love mine, but I'm one of the remaining users that can't find a copy of the Control software on cd. I've got the drivers and control panel, which are critical, but I got mine used and it didn't come with the install cd. By any chance, does your friend still ahve it and, if so, do they by any miracle, still have the installation cd? Best of luck.

Cheers!
