I recently upgraded my control surface from a Tascam US-428 to a Mackie Control Universal running Cubase SX3. The MCU has motorized faders, which is infinitely better for mixing purposes (half the time the 428's faders would be down when Cubase showed them up and vice versa).

I'm looking for information on USB Faders or Firewire

i've tried to search the net i can only find the one by Behringer . i dont need the mixer.. i just need faders.. motorized .. to work with cubase..

if any of you guys know a good model or something that might fit the above question please let me know..

i would prefer firewire.. but usb will do..

I work on a SSL 4000G series desk with Ultimation.

As long as I work on a "new mix" it's easy to go back to a certain point and put all faders into "write" (trim or absolute). I use the command JOIN.

the damndest thing. come in for a session, they arent working. been a busy week in that particular control room, lots of young-ens. everything seems to be good, but the faders arent sliding up...even in the vegas test mode. seems to be a hardware problem, not software. does anyone know anything?

What is the best most economical way to control 24 tracks or more faders in your daw?
