What's a good 24 channel controller? Preferably, 24 mono and maybe 8 buses. Sounds good. Ha. Price not really an HUGE issue.
Anyone have experience with one or own a good one?
Oh. And running Nuendo will upgrade to a from of actual Cubase soon, I hope... So, no digidesign stuff. :P

Mar 30, 2008 04:13 pm Do you want a digital desk or control surface? I don't think controllers have dedicated buses, just faders.
Wouldn't recommend the tascam us2400. Didn't have a good time with it. Also had a run on a Mackie X-bus on the other side of the spectrum. It had issues lol.
Mar 30, 2008 05:23 pm Well, I guess I'm not really sure of the difference. I want something that controls the software completely. And I'd like to have a physical EQ. 4 band or what have you. I don't need anything to track with or capture the recording, I ahve that now. Just want something that allows me to edit the digital recordings hands on.
Mar 30, 2008 06:40 pm Sounds like a control surface deal. Mackie make a nice 8 fader surface that you can link to make 24. Don't have experience with anything else sorry.

Mar 30, 2008 09:00 pm I have a Kensington track ball with a big scroling ring around the track ball. Whatever you hover over the scroll ring will control. Faders, panning, knobs, you name it.

They have some good stuff. You will have a hard time finding anything with a dedicated 4 knob EQ set up. Most are usually set to have the knob portion jump to different functions with a button push though. Pretty easy.
I've used the Euphonix stuff as well as Mackie and Tascam. While Tascam has ironed out some problems they still have a couple issues but are a good price. Mackie as well is riding out the issues as well but coming along nicely and are easily joined together to make a rather large control desk.
Mar 30, 2008 10:45 pm Walt, that looks like a good thing to get here in a few days even. Ha. Just to have fun with and rest my clicky. Haha...
Noize, all I have to say is WOW on the Euphomix System 5 controller.
Thanks guys!

Mar 30, 2008 11:40 pm Have a look at the Hybrid system if ya really want to drool.
Although I think you would be better suited to stick with the Artist Series stuff as it is more at the level that is easier to learn.
Mar 30, 2008 11:41 pm Hmmm... After looking some more and asking my friend about things... Anyone have an idea under $6,000? Perhaps something that I can just assign the channels to particular faders via a touch screen or something?

Mar 30, 2008 11:57 pm You could always get a midi control surface, evena keyboard, and assign the faders and knobs to your DAW. That is what I do, and I spent under 200 bucks on the control surface.
Apr 01, 2008 09:19 pm Do you think that would be a better set up than the Tascam DM4800?
