That Mackie D8B seems a pretty awesome. Does it come with its own video screen monitor?
Looking from its MIDI implementation chart, Appendix E, I suspect you'll be able to control the motorized mixer faders alright, but track pan, solo, mute and record won't cut there yet. Reasons are that those controls are assigned to MIDI channel Note On/Off events and Qtractor only supports MIDI channel controller events (CC) as of yet :(
Also, MMC seems to be only one-way (open-loop) so it will work only if commands are initiated from the control surface. Kind of odd for a such high profile gadget, one would expect it fully configurable (assignable) and what not ;)
Anyway, it must be lots of fun just waiting in the garage :)
Awe!
