Hello, Depending on budget, a seperate control surface and interface would probably be the way to go. M-Audio did the Project mix which doubles as both if memory serves correct, and i believe those has motorized faders. However word on the street the mic pre's on that unit weren't anything special, not to say they make bad recordings though. Also I am currently running with an Allen & Heath Zed R16. It's a mixer that can also serve as an audio interface and has some control surface funtionality. However this model does not have motorized faders. that being said if you are using it as a control surface, to compramise for lack of motorized faders, the parameter you are attempting to change will not change till the fader is moved to the point where that particular parameter is set and then past it. Love it cuz its lots of knobs and buttons, like a real mixer, no control pannel to do routing through. tons of inputs and allows you to use it's eq's as inserts. The only major downside is as Pro TOols doesn't support standard midi learn and requires a control surface with HUI support, and the Zed R16 not having built in support for HUI, you will have to use a midi to HUI translator app to pass messeages in to PT to get it controlling it.
