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

Hi, Jed and everyone else on the list. My name is Katie Zodrow. I've used the JL Cooper CS10 and the MCS3800 control surfaces with ProTools in the past. I think I used the CS 10 when I took a ProTools class 9 years ago at Berklee College of Music in Boston. I graduated from there in May of 2004

Thanks again. I am learning that it is give and take when going back and forth between two DAWS. Some stuff I like about Sonar better and some stuff I like about PT better. Right now I just want to give PT a fare shot so I am trying to finish the rest of this next projects tracking, and mixing a

Krister, the 003 is both a control surface and an interface in one unit. The MBox is just an interface alone. Depending on which MBox you have, it's probably just a FireWire port. Various control surfaces out there would either be USB, MIDI or Ethernet. Most likely, you'll encounter either USB

Hi, So, if i get a control surface, the MBox isn't needed at all, right? I looked at the pricing of the Digi003 Factory fader and it was way way over my budget with a 5 figure price tag in Swedish crowns. /Krister 27 jan 2013 kl. 19:31 skrev Slau Halatyn : > In the case of most interfaces, they

In the case of most interfaces, they have MIDI ports built in. In the cases where there is no MIDI implementation, you'll need some type of USB MIDI interface like anything from M-Audio. For keyboards, depending on the controller, they might have a USB interface or MIDI or both. Slau On Jan 27

Yes, that's a sure way to know. One thing to consider is that, if there are underlying playlists with data, the topmost playlist might not actually contain anything and one would still get that dialog. In other words, there's an exception to be aware of in this case. barring the playlist variabl

For a scripted screen reader, that's a nice feature for feedback. I suppose that kind of thing is important if you use pre-configured templates and don't use all the tracks. I never use templates and personally feel they lock you in too early on. Unless one really tends to do the exact same same
