Fancy Footwork?

[Neonlite]

Is there a software/hardware package that allows you to control playback and record start/stop/rewind etc by a footswitch? I find it a pain to have to:

- click record
- get my hands on the guitar,
- play,
- screw up because I didn't get my hands ready in time
- reach for the mouse
- click stop
- repeat ad infinitum.

I use the Omni Studio with the delta 66 and omni break-out box, but I would think the software would have to handle this and come with a USB footswitch or some such nonsense. I have been looking at software and am drooling over Cubase SX, but I don't think it has anything like this. Am I dreaming?

The concept will be using MIDI controller... I think many major software alowing you triggering event with MIDI message

I'e readed all the articles, though I never tried them yet, but I think it is posible to assign MIDI message to triggering playback / record/ rewind thing in many available major audio software todays... For sure, once I ever used my keyboard's sustain pedal to playback Cakewalk...

Do what I do and sit close to the machine.

I'm buying a remote one of these days, but it's only a real stretch to the farthest keyboard. It's about 10 feet from the machine.

Something I made up for mixing sessions is a five foot piece of 1/2" plywood cut to 1' wide. I taped a piece of thin foam rubber over the end so as not to damage or scratch my machine. That is my temporary remote when I mix so I'm not jumping up and down every 2:48.

I don't think it would work for a computer keyboard/mouse remote.

In CW9.0 I just use loop record. I set it to record to a seperate track each time around, If I miss it.. no big deal, it will come around again. I think this is a little more relaxed to.


I bet your software has something similer...
