<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Guys, I genuinely hope that no one takes offense to
this joke, and if you do, let me preempt my message below by saying I profusely!
apologize, but you'd think I just finnished kemo therapy over here, as my hair's
all gone after pulling it all out. No, seriously, here's the
situation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have a Presonus Faderport control surface.
I'm not gonna mention names, but a friend of mine actually recommended it for
use in Logic Pro X, and ProTools on my mac. We'll just say that in PT it
works great, but everyone else is proving to be disastrous!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anyway, I installed the drivers and ran the updated
firmware to the unit. That all went completely smoothely. In fact, I
might have even fixed it where it now works correctly on Logic, but that's
neither here nor there. By the way, I've not proven that totally yet, but
I have some suspitions. Anyway, you can write me off list about that if
you want to.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anyhow, back to Reaper, I went after installing the
drivers/firmware update and popped open Reaper. BTW, I just downloaded the
most up to date installer last night, so I know it's totally updated. that
isn't the issue. Anyway, I went into Reaper, hit CTRL+P, went down in the
tree view to Control Surfaces, clicked on add, and selected the Presonus
Faderport, then hit OK. Then I closed the preferences.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Now, nothing's working on the surface from within
Reaper. I can get it to work perfectly all day long in ProTools on my mac,
but not in Reaper on my Windows XP machine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've literally just spent the last hour and a half
Googling, and reading forum thread after forum thread to absolutely no ends, and
have come up empty handed every dawg gone time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, I've
reflashed the firmware several times, I've unplugged and replugged both the USB
and the power cord. It's not a USB cable going bad issue, as again, it
works fine in PT 12.4 extremely rock solidly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've tried moving the motorized fader, I've tried
my transport buttons like play/stop, absolutely nothing! I even went so
far as to try isolating the problem to see if it was an XP issue, or maybe the
fact I'm running X86 hardware, and not X64, but that isn't the case. I
tried on my Windows 10 laptop, which normally, I'd not use for recording, but
just for the hell of it, I did try, and even over there, with UAC disabled, and
me having full root admin access, it still! didn't work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Yes, I did hit applications key, and try running
Reaper as Administrator, and yes, I have tried installing the Faderport again by
running as Administrator. It should already be doing that by default, but
just in case, I wanted to be sure. No go.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I looked in the pdf manual to the Faderport, but I
see absolutely nothing! zilch! Nada! That says anything about it not
working in Windows, let alone! in Windows XP.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In fact, lots of my Google searches are turning up
people who apparently have done it just fine on XP Pro SP3, which is precisely
what I'm using with JAWS 15. Yes, I do have NVDA as well, not that that
matters.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm totally out of options. I honest to God
don't know what the heck is left to try. I don't exactly need! a control
surface with Reaper, but it sure would make my mixing way way
easier!</FONT></DIV>
