Hi Steve. I think someone accidentally replied to my subject line yesterday. Just wondering if you received my message? I know Avid discontinued selling the C24 at the end of last year. I looked at Avid's end of life dates page and they said the final date for selling this board was December 31. Are there any control surfaces you would recommend now that are accessible with ProTools and voiceover? I was thinking about getting the avid HD Omni audio interface, but I read about the Focusrite Red4 Pre earlier this week. I think it's cheaper than the Avid one and wasn't sure which interface would be the best option. Hopefully other people can reply and chime in with control surface recommendations as well. Thanks.
