Re: Good control surfaces
The reason you're transport bar may not be working is because the device may not be started in Pro Tools mode. The manual talks about which button must be held down while powering the machine on to put it into pro Tools mode. Once there, transport will work as advertised. Hope this helps.

Re: Good control surfaces
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.

If you are going to school like me then asking your instructors or other classmates would also be a good option. I find taking audio classes helps a lot in learning about the best methods for recording and placing microphones as I was told if you have a degree in audio engineering from a school even if you don't want to do this as a full time job it sure helps to learn from professionals who know what they are doing and have years of doing recording and mixing skills.

Re: Good control surfaces
Hi Katie, Welcome to the list. Glad to have you here. Yes, the MCS3800 is a nice surface and could probably be found on the used market for a low price. I'd probably stay away from the CS10 because it doesn't have moving faders and, while it's OK for a sighted user, I think the touch-sensitive 3800 is much more effective.

It has 8 sliding up and down controls which move with pro tools so you can feel your levels. I like it for a new pro tools user. My digi 003 came in a box wrapped up and all. It can record in 24 bit 96 KHZ so it is a good system and some studios still use them so it is a good system for both the new and advanced user and has a control where if you have more then 8 tracks you can cycle between the tracks in banks of 8. I was at the guitar center store and they had one on display and found one on line that they were able to ship directly to my house and I always like to feel a device before I buy it. You will need to install the drivers for the device once you get it or even before you get it you can download them and I would also suggest if pro tools prompts you to upgrade the firmware on the device you do so to avoid any issues in the future.

RE: Good control surfaces
Hi, Not sure of the maker if you do searches for digi 003 or go to a professional audio electronics store like the guitar center you should be able to find out all you need to know. If you are going to school like me then asking your instructors or other classmates would also be a good option. I find taking audio classes helps a lot in learning about the best methods for recording and placing microphones as I was told if you have a degree in audio engineering from a school even if you don't want to do this as a full time job it sure helps to learn from professionals who know what they are doing and have years of doing recording and mixing skills. That is by no means the only usable control surface but I like it because the moving controls as it really helps me set levels.

Re: Good control surfaces
I'm using the Project Mix I/O. Like the Digi003 (I think), it has 8 mic pre amps. I've not got the transport bar to work, but then I haven't tried with it much. I'm using it as both control surface, and sound module, and I think it's great. It also has the advantage of being cheap. However, it's been running for years, and hasn't got a single problem, so I'm guessing it's built to last! :-) Have fun, On 27/01/2013, Nick Gawronski n...@nickgawronski.com wrote: Hi, Not sure of the maker if you do searches for digi 003 or go to a professional audio electronics store like the guitar center you should be able to find out all you need to know.
