Help with decision

[tmay]

Ok my question is what do you guy think about the Mackie control surface. DO you believe this piece of equipment should be priority in your equipment list. I was looking at getting one but I debating about other betters thing to buy with the $999. Can i get some advice

I think it would be great for convinience but it won't make your mixes or recordings any better. Instead of having to click the back button, you can press it with your finger, or rotate a knob. And you don't have to be in the mixer windows to use faders, or in the arange window to start/stop the song.

I wish i had one. One day i will but it's about the last thing on my list considering it's adds nothing new to what you already have.
