 probably take sighted assistance to actually create the custom map because 
 parameters on screen need to be clicked when assigning faders and buttons and 
 , because of the way plug-in parameters have been made accessible, VoiceOver 
 isn't seeing the actual UI element for each parameter but rather its 
 underlying data. Once the map is created, however, it's easy to switch maps 
 and set defaults.
 
 It seems to me that the best surface for Pro Tools exclusively is either the 
 Artist series or perhaps the S3 which is considerably more expensive but 
 definitely the future of surface technology for Pro Tools.

 Thanks Martin, and have you found plugin automation fairly straight forward
 with it.

  So, I know we’ve done this lots before, but I’m back to thinking about
 control
  surfaces. I really can’t work effectively without being able to automate
  plugins with a control surface, and I really don’t want to abandon
 ProTools,
  given that I’m getting pretty clued up about it, and I work pretty quickly
 with
  it. So, I was thinking about the Artist Mix. I know it doesn’t have 
  transport
  buttons, which is a bit irritating, however I wonder if I am able to use 
  the
  artist Mix with my BCF control surface, then I could use the BCF2000 as a
  transport control surface, and maybe even use it for fader and pan
  automation, and I can use my Artist Mix for pluguin automation. Does that
  sound plausible? Also, is it easy enough to choose what the faders and
 knobs
  automate. In other words, is choosing what the faders do, and what
 plugin
  controls easy to achieve with VoiceOver and PT?
 
  Your thoughts are very welcome.
