pandleram Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Now that I finally know how to automate my tracks, it seems I need some real physical knobs and faders so that I can create Smoothness. I just want something very simple, not with a keyboard. Any advice? I only need a couple of controls, really. Not looking to spend more than, say, 300...

fadercraig Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well it only has one fader (in a dj crossfader style) but the Novation Nocturn is rockn my world, im using the knobs to control effect parameters n the buttons for bypasses... but if you need more faders, check out some of the other novation stuff. xx Cx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you will find are things like Novation and Behringer for the under $300 range. It's funny, you can spend thousands or a couple hundred, yet the fader will respond to either one.

janicon Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 fadercraig will probably shoot me down in flames but I have a Behringer (cough) BCR 2000 which I find very useful for that kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nublu Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 This might suite your needs. http://www.frontierdesign.com/Products/AlphaTrack It works well with Logic Studio and is great to have in a Coffee Shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhhahahahaha, my dislike for their products i see is well known! However, until two weeks ago when i got my Nocturn, i was using a Behringer Nano, cos it was the only thing i could find that was the right size and had the right controls! So if it works....it works! Things like budget AND functionality always come into play. cool Cx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandleram Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hello everyone Thank you for all of your advice I just picked up a Novation Nocturn I'm really not very 'techie' I've always been rather analog up until my recent investment in Logic and honestly I don't quite know what to do with this very attractive thing on my desk all I wanted was the equivalent of a keyboard controller, with a couple of knobs on it instead of keys so I can turn real knobs as I use automation to pan things around, instead of clicking on virtual knobs with my mouse or other basic things this Automap is a bit confusing, really TO BE MORE CLEAR ABOUT MY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE I record some analog instruments, some software instruments, a bit of vocals, some real-life samples Have no idea what the 'straight line between 2 nodes' comment means Not even sure what exactly qualifies as a 'plug-in' ACH!

briandelizza Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Smoothness? What is smoother than the straight line between two nodes? Actually an S curve is the most natural fade to the human ear.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
