Blackmagic Design's new Fairlight software mixers and hardware surfaces

[rob aylestone]

Has anyone else seen Blackmagic's new audio products? Designed for video really, but from their videos, a rather nice, Protools-ish software design that can then be interfaced to a range of different sized hardware controls, or just used with a mouse. More designed to appeal to broadcasters, it does seem to be very customisable. As soon as they start shipping I shall be looking at the reviews to see what people think.

EDIT
Just downloaded the software - public beta and it seems really nice - it seems to be free software and then they charge for a hardware surface - but first impressions are good and it has picked up my cubase vsts too!
