Hi Krister, A MIDI controller won't be anywhere near as effective as a control surface. If you plan to do any mixing whatsoever, it's not feasible to try doing automation with one track at time. If you'll need to mix several tracks, a control surface is indispensable. You'll be able to work far more efficiently using a surface to quickly mute, unmute, solo tracks, quickly change multiple track volumes, etc.
