 The Pro Tools Internal Raven Mixer requires the mixer window to be setup precisely in order for the Raven Multi Touch faders to sync with the Pro Tools mixer window.  

Check the Mix Window is maximized by clicking the green maximize button and be sure that the Pro Tools Mix Window is scrolled all the way left, so track 1 is showing.
On OSX 10.11.1 Option+Click the green button to fit the screen bounds precisely.

 

Catalina / Big Sur / Monterey / Ventura users be sure to allow RAVEN in System Preferences /  Security & Privacy / Screen Recording.

Mixer 22 and 24 Mode:

It is recommended to use Mixer 22 mode as this allows the Pro Tools Track list to be open so users can access groups and select tracks from the Track List.  If users don't need to access the Tracklist hit the Mixer 24 button to switch RAVEN to full 24 channel mode that will fill up the last 2 tracks to make up the for the width of the Track List. 

RAVEN Internal Mixer Windows Setup: 

On Windows PC maximize the window using the Maximize button on the top right of the Pro Tools parent window and the Mix Window.

The Raven Internal Mixer faders will usually sync better if Track Colors are on, so check the Mix Windows Views and the Color Palette and be sure the Track Colors are active. 

For the Internal Mixer to align properly only the following can be checked in the Mix Window Views drop menu.

1. Inserts A-E

2. Sends F-J

3. Meters and Faders

4. Delay Compensation

5. Track Color

Now, to launch the Windows Configurations choose the layout from the list.
