yofi Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 had one... I'm sorry to report that It failed to deliver the promised nirvana of tactile control of your DAW.........sold it. It was ok but fiddly to set up. Faders very noisy and irritating and would fight against your movements. Not all bad but you gets what you pay for.

dkgross Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 lol - ok, your right.Do I really need it - no.I like twisting knobs though... nah...wayyyyy too easy. I did, however, get a M-Audio Trigger finger for my knob-twisting/fader sliding needs...works pretty well, actually.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb1974 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 i think the triggerfinger is the only thing i would buy myself... i have a keyfax phatboy left, which does the knobbing things quite nice, but actually i dont use it..im lot faster with my masterkeyboard and mouse its a bit differnet if u have a really professional controller which is kind of made for controlling your DAW totally..but these are extremely expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattrixx Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Ally Girl.. the BCF is great if you use it as a Logic Control ... make sure you have the latest firmware for it and definitely get the screen software from opuslocus.com http://opuslocus.com/lcxview/ John Pitcairn from NewZealand is great at supporting his software too. regards, matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Frank Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Keep mixing with the mouse. it is much better considering the fact that you work with midi tracks, audio tracks, bus and aux tracks. With a control surface like the one describe you will get frustrated very quick. Unless you consider a mackie control pro with expanders or the DM3200 or DM4800 from Tascam. In the past i wanted to go that direction but now i am very efficient at mixing from the same window with the mouse, you can do a lot very fast as well. With dual monitor or 23 or bigger monitor it is very nice. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilenitrate Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I have a Trigger Finger. That's my big concession to toy, fiddley, pretend I'm a drummer, mixer guy, etc. I love it but I hardly use it, it's main purpose seems to be to keep me from buying other stuff. I'd probably use it more if I didn't spend all my time trying to figure out how to work the DAW software. Maybe if it's cheap enough and it will satisfy your gear jones for a long time, it's worth it but not if the same money will buy you some more RAM or an HD or something that'll really make a difference, right? Twisting the volume knob on my '66 Deluxe Reverb, that's what hands on is really about. - Emile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
