tuongtndg Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Would anyone consider having a control surface or physical mixer AND if so, which ones work the best and are compatible with Pro Logic X? I would think that it might sometimes be handy to have physical controls instead of sliding things on a screen ( I know..... That's what the MIXER is for in Pro Logic - But just thought I'd get your opinions). Drawback is.... takes up more real estate on the desk (It's probably personal taste). Thanks.....

David Nahmani Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 It's really a personal decision. It's useful to have physical faders if you like to move multiple things at once, for example raise a fader while you turn a knob... or move two faders at the same time... can't do that with a mouse. Or if you do a lot of live automation. But not everybody needs a control surface, many people do just fine without one. If you do decide to go for a control surface, make sure you get one with motorized faders such as the Mackie MCU for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makzimia Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Best value controller, fully compatible with Logic Pro X is the Behringer X-touch, works flawlessly, USB in and away you go. Well built and half the price of a Mackie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Shields Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I recently added a Behringer X-Touch to my setup and in all honesty I can't fault it at all. I am aware that Behringer don't have a great reputation regarding reliability but in the 6 months that I have been using the X-Touch and 3 years or so that I have been using their FCB 1010 foot controller I have found both to be reasonably sturdy units. Importantly the X-Touch works with Logic straight out of the box - Logic sees it as an MCU. The company have a lot of demonstration videos on YouTube hosted by Phil Gates and he usually uses Logic for the demonstrations. HTH, Alan.
