I have a HDSP and a HDSPe card installed. One is connected to a Digiface and one is connected to a Multiface.

I have a Mackie Control Universal Pro (MCUP).

I am running Cubase 6.5.

TotalMix has MIDI Control and Disable MIDI Control In Background checked in the options of both mixers.

1.) When Cubase is not loaded, if both TotalMix windows are open, I click on one to make it active and see that it is communicating with the MCUP. The other window is greyed on the border (not in 'focus.')

I hit the select bank arrow on the MCUP, but the bank selection moves in the other out of 'focus' TotalMix Window?

Only one window seems to be under the control of the MCUP, regardless whether it is in 'focus' or not.

2.) When Cubase is loaded but in the background, the MCUP does not regain control of TotalMix. The first bank to the top left on the input shows that MIDI Control is active (I see the change in color and the little midi symbol), but there is no communication, even though Cubase is in the background.

I know that Cubase has an option to release the audio drivers when Cubase is out of focus. Changing this setting does not change the lack of communication between TotalMix and MCUP.

3.) With 'ASIO Direct Monitoring' checked and neither with nor without Direct Monitoring activated in Cubase VST Audio device, do I get any link between the Cubase Mixer Panel and TotalMix. If I move an input fader or output fader in Cubase, there is no corresponding movement in TotalMix.

I would appreciate help with these issues.

Thank you.
