Thanks for all the help. I think I’m going to try using my BCF2000 with ProTools for track/sends volume and pan, and maybe transport controls. If I need to change a plugin, I’ll use Reaper for that. Reaper has many more advantages over ProTools when it comes to plugins; for a start, they allow VST Plugins. Maybe one day, ProTools will see the error of their ways, and reinstate the midi learn function, which apparently was a feature in PT8.
The trouble with relying on an AlfaTrack or a command 8, is that I can easily foresee a time when Avid will discontinue support, possibly in the next release. So I’d rather spend £60 on Reaper and get VST support, rather than spending £200 or more to recreate what I could previously do for free with Sonar. > On 15 Feb 2015, at 18:37, Scott Chesworth <scottcheswo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Yeah, same experience here, although they're no longer being > manufactured and I doubt there'll be any further driver updates. > Still, for the price of one second hand, they're a neat tool to have > at your disposal. > > On 2/15/15, Chris Norman <chris.norm...@googlemail.com> wrote: >> Worked last time I tried it yes, definitely with tools and Yosemite. >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >>> On 15 Feb 2015, at 03:32, Keith Reedy <wa9...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> Are they still supported? >>> >>> We print the Bible in Braille, >>> http://biblesfortheblind.org >>> Keith Reedy >>> God gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him.
