Some of you were curious about this controller when I brought it up in a discussion.
So I just finished and posted this video where I review it.
Sorry about the focus chasing.. I definitly need to used fixed focus in the future.
Also my accent is worst than usual. I guess I was a bit tired when I did it.

Hi, I'm a university student trying to gather some data on analog vs digital mixing desks/control surfaces in a studio environment.
If you have 2 minutes to quickly fill in this short survey it would be much appreciated.

Which would you be looking at?

I'm just curious... I've given some thought lately to having an actual surface from which I could work in a more tactile fashion, as opposed to "mousing" every command, particularly when it comes to the mixing end of things.

I'm woefully out of touch with what's out there these days when it comes to control surfaces.

hey guys, needs some help.

Recently built a computer that's pretty robust and i'm running a projectmix i/o control surface with Pro Tools 10. now, i'm pretty versed on its operation etc but the computer this one replaced used to be my old home theater pc, which had a lynxtwo b soundcard that still gets great reviews.

Available in many sizes and levels of complexity, control surfaces are used to control the functions of some other device, often a computer software program.

Okay so for a while now ive been wondering whats the best control surface to buy, or even if I'm needing one exactly!

Looking for some experienced comments.
I would like to know anyone's likes/dislikes using control surfaces with Cubase as well as control of VST Plugins for a PC platform...
Any preference you have on Firewire or USB protocols.

Some of the units out there I've looked into.

I made a guess in another thread that most people with "low cost" studios mixed with a mouse and automation rather than using some sort of control surface. Thought I would run a poll and see the reaction. Picked $50,000 for the "low cost" cutoff. Figured that would cover a lot of us.

Me, I'm 100% with a mouse.

I currenntly have a studio with (2) Pro Tools HD 192 systems. A Toft AT32 mixer, 3 Focusrite Octopres, 2 sets of monitors and a bunch of patchbays and outboard gear.

The only thing I use the Toft for is 2 channels out and for a talkback. Also, it looks cool :)

Hi

I have been looking at the Mackie Control cos I need some way of remote controlling my Mac and PC (not at the same time).
