[sudo-discuss] USB/MIDI/Macbook mess

Hey there! Jake suggested I message you all cause I'm having trouble with some weird things I'm trying to do with a new Macbook Pro with the USB-C ports.. I use a bunch of different USB-2 devices (including some Nintendo Gamecube to USB-2 ones) as MIDI controllers for Ableton Live. One of the controllers is a trackball mouse - both that and the two game controllers go into this program called Junxion Lite to convert their signals into MIDI, then there's an external keypad, a midi keyboard, a little dj controller, two generic Arduino boards that control LED's, and a Makey Makey circuit board. That's 9 USB-2 devices I'm trying to get in there. I have a couple different USB-2 hubs and a USB2 to USBC hub.. I've managed to make it all work but inconsistently Ableton crashes when I activate the Max Arduino plugin. Also the Junxion settings keep needing to be changed cause the devices get ordered in a new way, apparently, every time I restart the computer. This all works fine on my older Macbook. It's a fucking nightmare and I don't really know that much about how computers work. Arlo has been trying to help me long-distance but he says it's a bit over his head. I'm going to meet with him in person on Saturday to see if we can make any headway, but just thought I'd put this out there in case anyone has ideas or anything.
