Hi ...

From the Acid Pro 6 help page below is the link to download a "full-size, printable version" of the overlay ... but for the past several days it doesn't work! I just get the "This page cannot be displayed" message.

http://download.sonypictures.com/current/extras/mackiecontroloverlay.pdf

Could someone direct me to a working link of kick this upstairs to support so they could fix it?

Thanks

Thanks, Mark ... but it didn't work out.

I should have said I have Mackie Universal Pro. I don't know if the Universal Pro has different size templates (as opposed to the round buttons becoming square) or if the template I downloaded is just too small.

Where did you get/ find this link? I'd googled prior to posting without luck. Do you know if there is also a Universal Pro template at the site? I'm going to fool around with the URL and see if I can find one.

I ordered the lexan one from Mackie - cost $20 if I recall. It makes the MCU Pro look like it was made for Vegas - very clean & professional.

Ah sorry I didn't realise the MCU Pro had square buttons and wouldn't fit the original template. It doesn't look like there is a template for the MCU Pro on the Sony site, but there is one on the Mackie site here.

BTW The original link I posted is to be found on the Vegas downloads page here (scroll down to Vegas 5 which is when the MCU compatibility was introduced).

Thanks to all ...

I have a 'parts order' request in with Mackie ... but haven't heard from them yet.

So far I've 'Mickey'd' up something by taking a template I'll never use, Digital Performer, taking the link Mark gave me and printing it on a label sheet and sticking the Vegas commands on top of the overlay.

Not too professional ... but working.

"I have a 'parts order' request in with Mackie ... but haven't heard from them yet."

Don't bother with email. I called them and it shipped the following day. Mackie isn't the same "Mackie" of years past. Mackie is actually "Loud Technologies" and unfortunately its showing the typical cost cutting strategies in virtually every area, especially build quality, but I digress.
