I am wondering how common this is?

I recently got a hold of a Tascam DM24 on the cheap, and we are using it as a midi controller w/ Nuendo 4.
I'm tired of doing fader and panning automation w/ a mouse - in general, tired of using a mouse unless absolutely necessary.

For me, it's about a better workflow more than anything.

I am currently looking to get a midi keyboard controller for my setup, and have been stuck on three choices for a week now. The M-audio Axiom Pro 49, Akai MPK49, and Novation sl mkii 49. I have heard both good and bad things from people on all three of these and cannot decide. If it is any consellation i will be running Cubase with this controller.
Thanks for any replies.

Just thought I'd mention that I've been using the SPL MTC 2381, Monitor Talkback Controller for a year now and it is excellent. I'm really happy I bought it and highly recommend it. It does exactly what its supposed to do and the sound quality is excellent."Stereo volume, source and monitor control with cue mixing and talkback functions"

Hello...

Can anybody give me a step by step to link my keyboard volume knob to a pitch knob on fl studio?

More learning, new DAW, new equipment coming and sorting out old ways with new.

How would you set up my monitor controlling with with Fireface 800?

I'm having difficulty adjusting the headphone mix with FireFace 800 and Samplitude /Sequoia 11. Can we do you do it in detail?

Doing searches for the best drum pad controller for BFD2 looks like it may be the Korg padKontrol. I actually want to use this with UBS direct.

Seems like running between the instrument being played and the control board is eating into recording time! Not to mention tripping over cables, missing the cue and having to run back, etc. Someone recommended what looks like a pretty cool wireless footswitch to control my DAW:

I recently got the ZED-R16 board. I really like it so far. I am still trying to set it up as a midi controller and I saw where Cakewalk had made some presets for it as a controller. However their links are broken on their website and I wondered if anybody here used this product with Sonar and could send me the file.

Thanks.
