Important HUI Metering Information

The HUI protocol provides for stereo track metering. It does not provide for output metering. Surfaces that have output meters will not display any output metering when connected to Pro Tools.

V-Control Pro uses the HUI protocol with Pro Tools Studio/Ultimate to provide for 8, 16, 24, or 32 channels of control. The Pro Tools MIDI Peripherals window must be configured to use V-Control Pro's virtual MIDI ports for Pro Tools to communicate with V-Control Pro.

Enable MIDI Ports In Pro Tools

V-Control Pro provides virtual MIDI ports for Pro Tools to use. These ports must be enabled for MIDI input.
