1)Use the MCU "VEGAS" overlay that comes with the MCU. This will show you where where "most everything" is. I say this because acid doesn't have alot of vegas's features. [ie:scrub doesn't work,etc...]

2)The acid help manual is FULL of MCU instructions. Start there.

3) IF for some reason you bought this second hand and it doesn't come with any overlays you can get them by reading the acid documents and there is a "link" to a overlay that you can print up.

After you do this definitely come back with more questions I would be more than happy to help out. It's nice to finally start seeing others using the MCU besides ONLY ME!!!

Don't forget that acid also has support for the MCU extenders. One or two of those go well with a MCU. I'm thinking of picking up one.

My problem is I have the original MCU[ie:black and grey colors] and the new ones are completely different. I can't even find a old MCU extender on ebay anymore.

Hmmm...maybe if enough of us start using the mcu's sony will see the market for supporting the mackie C4...http://www.mackie.com/products/c4pro/
