Thanks for posting.Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2014 7:02 pmMarc Girard wrote:Tgmusicman wrote:I'm looking into d8bridge so I can use d8b as control surface for cubase.

Hello there,
Nope, you don't need any Mackie OS at all to run D8Bridge. The only thing you need is your power supply to be working (is the board lighting up?). If yes is your answer, you're ready to go my friend!

The board does light up and functions properly with 5.1 in demo mode(since I don't have auth code) but won't load v.3. I'm basically needing it for control surface anyway since most of my recording is done live with a Behringer X32 and Cubase(just acquired Cubase 7.5 today btw). Mix down has been done to this point with just the program itself, which works fine, but would much rather utilize the d8b to make my life easier lol. So this is available with v.1.1 or the new 2.0? If so when are you looking at v.2 release? Thanks for the help!

You're all good then. D8Bridge 1.1 will work for you. Version 2.0 is still a couple of weeks away, mixing work at the studio keeps me from working on it like I'd like to. D8Bridge 2.0 will use Ethernet and support HUI (x3). Depends on how fast you want to use your D8B!

One is laptop running win 8 32 bit and the other is desktop running win 8 64 bit. Plenty of power on both for sure!
