Alex, are you assigning things to laptop keys as well? I do notice myself though, sometimes there's never enough knobs or sliders... maybe just need to get a 2nd controller though, rather than waiting for someone to make some GIGANTO-HYPER-UNIT that has a zillion buttons and knobs. Personally, I wish I could just highlight a channel without using the mouse, so I could see which effects are on or off before I bring in a new clip on the channel.

Nah, thats rubbish Martin. I have a box (UC33). Its not bad - it could be better. The more stuff I can assign, the more time I have to do edits on the fly. It's not ideal though. Here's how I set it up. Each channel has EQ3, Auto Filter and Ping Pong delay on. I want to have total hands on control over the effects so I dont have to be fiddling around on the computer - its far more spontaneous and allows you to 'sound' better. I need effects on each channel, so you can use effects in the mix. (raw drums for example). Not sure about the decks one and two bit. I want to have loops running on a couple of channels, with effects, then 2 channels with songs on, yeah like decks a little. Don't see where the problem is there? You certainly cant use recoreds for what I want to do... I just want a totally hands on interface - just as a dj mixer is. But I want it with all the features you use ableton for instead of decks - I still don't beleieve anyone makes one like this... Fiddling with your pc is just not spontaneous enough I dont think. >People do seem to want to replicate what on screen to a controller, but >when you've had hours of practice this simply doesn't matter. I've just got a new computer. Its sh*t. I dont think I'll ever be able to control it quick enough to do what I want to do - its way too fiddly. Hands on is better, much much better. So, I dont agree. : ) _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
