The'''Human User Interface Protocol'''HUI MIDI(commonly mappingabbreviated to protocol'''HUI''') is a proprietary [[MIDI]] [[communications protocol]] for interfacing between a hardware [[audio control surface]] and [[digital audio workstation]] (DAW) software. It was first created by [[Mackie]] and [[Digidesign]] in 1997 for use with [[Pro Tools]].

The HUI protocol was created jointly by [[Mackie]] and [[Digidesign]] in 1997 for Mackie's Human User Interface (HUI), the first non-DigigesignDigidesign hardware [[Audio control surface|control surface]] for Digidesign’s [[Pro Tools]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.protoolsproduction.com/control-pro-tools-daw-controller/|title=Taking Control of Pro Tools with a DAW Controller|date=2017-02-16|website=Pro Tools Production|language=en-US|access-date=2019-05-16}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=http://www.synthmanuals.com/manuals/mackie/hui/owners_manual/hui_om.pdf|title=HUI - Human User Interface for Digital Audio Workstations - Reference Guide|last=|first=|publisher=Mackie Designs Inc.|year=1998|isbn=|___location=USA|pages=}}</ref> It was subsequently implemented by hardware controllers from manufacturers such as [[Solid State Logic]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.solidstatelogic.com/studio/aws/daw-control|title=DAW Control {{!}} Solid State Logic|last=|first=|date=|website=Solid State Logic|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2019-05-16}}</ref> [[Yamaha Pro Audio|Yamaha]],<ref name=":1" /> [[TASCAM]],<ref name=":0" /> and [[Novation Digital Music Systems|Novation]].<ref name=":1" />

By the time Mackie introduced the Baby HUI in August 2002, the protocol was also supported by DAWs including [[Digital Performer]] and [[Steinberg Nuendo|Nuendo]], making them cross-compatible with HUI-compatible hardware controllers.<ref>{{cite book |last1=McGuire |first1=Sam |title=Modern MIDI: Sequencing and Performing Using Traditional and Mobile Tools |date=17 December 2013 |publisher=Focal Press |___location=Abdingdon, Oxon |isbn=978-0-415-83927-3 |page=62 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_7xiAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false |accessdate=3 January 2019}}</ref> Other DAWs to support HUI protocol include [[Logic Pro]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/presonus-faderport|title=PreSonus FaderPort|last=|first=|date=|website=SoundOnSound|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2019-05-16}}</ref> [[REAPER]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://support.novationmusic.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206863679-Compatible-software-for-Automap-Using-Automap-for-DAW-control|title=Compatible software for Automap: Using Automap for DAW control|website=Novation|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-05-16}}</ref> and [[Cakewalk Sonar]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://homerecordingpro.com/best-daw-controllers/|title=The 5 Best DAW Controllers|date=2018-03-21|website=Home Recording Pro|language=en-US|access-date=2019-05-16}}</ref>
