Control Surface

[Scholar]

i was curious as to if any of you guys use one, if so which do you use for PT. I was looking at the 003 or the command 8...

the only one Ive used is the C24...its pretty badass for what it is, the faders were a lil fast for me in the beginning but you get used to it.

Thats the setup I used (003). Cant imagine recording without a control surface now. Seriously.

yeah i played with one at a demo once.lol wish i had the 6-9k for that...lmao

 

[LouBez]

yeah me too! The only time I get to use it is when I track at Urban Union...In my home setup all I use is the mouse...

i have a Tascam fw 1884 in using in hui mode, but i was thinking of selling it and gettin the 003 or command 8, i hate mouse mixing!

 

[LouBez]

mouse mixing does suck...ever thought about about going the tablet route and using Touch OSC...its how i mix at home and its friggin awesome!

Honestly I am the opposite, and I have used every control surface extensively, The Matrix, Icon, Dcommand, C24, All the high end euphonix stuff. I like them and if budget didn't matter one bit I would probably get one. But honestly I am faster mixing with a mouse AND vector mixing is faster than mixing with a fader anyway.

you mean with a ipad?

I've used the Icon, d-command, c24(almost bought one few monthes back), and 003. Instead of buying the c24 I sacrificed the extra faders for an analog/controller combo with a great summing feature and bus compressor in the Focusrite 2802(audient Zen based). Works great with PT and Logic.

 

[thedreampolice]

Don't get a 003 or a command 8 as they will no longer be supported in PT11

You can cop the Euphonix Artist Mix Series.... Works with PT as well as logic/final cut, and some other shit.
