Hey what's going on y'all? I just bought a Behringer X Touch in hopes that I could control Adobe Audition with it. I have the Behringer X Touch plugged into the power outlet as well as the usb port. I literally don't know what to do at this point. I played around in the control surface section of the settings for a second to no avail. I tried to select a few things but I was unable to figure out how to get anything to work. So basically I need help. I looked through the forum and nobody seems to have explained this properly. Can anybody help out?

    Good Sir. Care to share how far compatibility goes with these two products? Are you able to control Track EQ with efficiency via the Mackie protocol? It's implementation with Behringer BCF2000 is quite cumbersome to use. Are you able to control the Track Panner in a 5.1 project? Thanks.

    There are a lot of facilities on the X-Touch controller that only work fully with Behringer's X32 and X Air mixers. Mackie Control protocol is quite limited compared to those. So I doubt very much that Track EQ and Surround Panner can be controlled from an X-Touch since I don't believe that such features are part of the MC protocol.

      From a quick look at the Behringer spec, you should be able t get the two to work together.  The X-Touch has a setting to emulate the Mackie MCU--and Audition is designed to support the Macke protocol.  Therefore, the first thing I'd try is to set your X-Touch to its Mackie setting--and then do the same in Audition.

      I have most definitely tried this. To no avail. I have also upgraded to the latest firmware for my X TOUCH. I have the latest version of Adobe Audition as well.

      Also there is no way to open up X TOUCH settings or control panel. Apparently Behringer only made an application to support the compact and the mini and not the full size..... What is wrong with you @behringer ? I need to be able to connect the X TOUCH to Adobe Audition or I wasted 450 bucks...
