I use 2 artist mixes, which is the 8 fader unit it. works great, and I can control plug-in parameters, effect sends etc. There are also buttons for eq and dynamics which sets up common controls on the same rotary encoders no matter which eq or dynamic plug-ins you use, for example, knob on will

Hi, You have three units: The first is the Artist Mix, which has 8 motorized faders, 8 rotary knobs and the common controls on a channel strip; Solo, mute, record enable and select, all per track. The second is the artist transport, which is a transport controller with a jog wheel, a shuttle

Here are my thoughts on the Artist series. This is my 2 cents, and everyone's workflow is different. Your mileage may very. I trained 2 clients on the artist series and didn't like them for a few reasons. 1. Design: I don't like the fact that connecting 2 devices, IE, the fader pack or

You can use them separately. For the money, I recommend the Mackie Control Universal Pro. It's got everything you need for controlling Pro Tools, Logic, Cakewalk, Reaper, and others. It runs for about 11 hundred, but is seriously a better bang for the buck. Mackie has been in this space for

Having both a series of track control strips (faders, solo, mute, record buttons, etc.) is useful for working faster. For precise editing, a scrub wheel is indispensable. Having everything in one package, as Kevin suggested, is, of course, the most desirable option. Having the option to use a

That's awesome, very nice. I'm assuming it has a scrub wheel and everything? I'm just trying to get specific model numbers down and everything, just cause it's kind of important when it comes to accessibility. Mackie has always made some outstanding stuff, it's amazing. I've worked with

Big +1 for the Mackie Universal. I've dabbled with plenty of the smaller surfaces and imitation options, but always end up coming back to the Mackie, and it always works when I do. On 9/16/14, Kevin Reeves reeves...@gmail.com wrote: You can use them separately. For the money, I recommend the

The Artist series consists of a few different surfaces. I can't recall the specifics but one is a basic 8-fader unit, another is an 8-fader expansion pack, another is a transport control, another has a touch screen which would obviously have its limitations. Anyway, again, not sure about

if you want one that doubles as a control surface, the 003 is probably a good place to start. Otherwise, if you are in the states, you may want to contact a store like www.sweetwater.com and talk to a sales engineer who can help you decide on something. On Sep 14, 2013, at 8:29 AM, Jed Barton
