OK guies, so here is the deal.
I'm gonna go to Sam Ash, not with Whalen, don't fret, I'm gonna talk to
chris, the new guy there. he seems to know his stuff way better than
Whalen. Anyway, aside the opint that is... Point is, I want to get a
control surface but I want something a little higher end than what you
all've already suggested. Basically I want something around $300. Now, let
me say this, I want around $300 provided that i have to pay outright. If
they'll let me finance, and I'm approved, I'm willing to go as high as a
thousand. What do you all suggest? I'm leaving in about an hour or so, so
hopefully I'll get something in the ming time. I do have mail set up on my
IPhone, and if you all saw my e-mail from the other day when I really was
frustrated, then you'll have my cell number, and I also can text there. So
either mail or text, preferably e-mail me back on list.
Basically, here is some of the things I require.
1. Though pro tools can do it, I want built in dinamic compression on the
board itself.
2. Would like the board to have fairly easy to very easy access to reverb,
not delay, but reverb effects. Again I know PT has that already but the
board also having it would be a major! plus.
3. If in my price range, would like at least 16 if not 24 channels. I know
24 is getting more up to the $1K range, but again, if they'll let me, I'm
willing to try financing. if not, give me the best we could work with on
$300. I'm not quite done.
4. NO requirement, but as an added bonus, i have a very! very very heavy
finger on my nobs/faders. I almost clip constantly not varyingly but
constantly! with my mike. So, I need something with maybe a detecter that
would automatically eliminate clipping to some extent.
5. Finally, again no requirement, but if it had a USB port on it, not just
to go to my mac, but also one to let me plug into the board, a flash drive
or something and mix down to the flash drive...
Again, I know some of this then would defeat needing PT, but, again, it's
not I wanna ditch PT, I jsut want extra options.
Being the blindness is a factor obviously, I'd need something that is well
known to work by blind people. i know it may be a learning curve, but I
want something that at least once learned would be doable. Obviously, no!
Touchscreen!
Chris.
