Does anyone else find it completley baffling why the home recording industry hasn't come up with a fucking affordable control surface that actually works?!!!
Who the hell likes to mix with a mouse anyway?!!
Why haven't they figured this one out? Seems like it would be relatively easy to cash in and make all our wrists a lot happier.
I want something that software supports(cubase, cake, vegas, logic, etc.) feels like a mixer and looks kinda cool to boot. Is that asking too much?!!
Options exist you say. Not really! Here's a small breakdown:
Moto mix - looks pretty cool, seems functional, $1000!!! Big "F" in the affordable category
EZ bus from event - looks wize its great,it is a little less pricey that the Moto but it has A/D D/A converters built in which I don't need (already own a sound card)
Roland Studio Pack - same problem as above. It is a mixer so it gets looks/feels like a mixer points. But I don't need all of the stuff it comes with which only drives up its price for me. It looks like a pretty damn good deal though. I have no idea how well it works with software (it supposed to work with Logic well though)
Midiman control surface- this is the soon to be released, magic touch pad control surface that looks like something out of deep space nine. I don't like the looks of this thing. It doesn't have the mixer feel or looks ( no knobs) cost - ?
That's about all I can think of besides the Tascam USB thingy which again has converters that I don't need.
It seems so simple! Why can't they just get it!!
For around $200 I should be able to buy something that hooks up via usb or midi to my computer resembles a mixer in looks and feel (knobs and faders) and syncs to my recording software! Doesn't that sound reasonable? Anyone want to go into business?
