If this PT 11 update does allow greater access to stuff like the waves
plugin via the keyboard, I may be reavaluating my use of the control surface
when tracking, I may set it aside for mixing only to start and perhaps
replace it with one of these interfaces with 96 /24 with high powered
converters.

I use a Digi 002. I believe they are not available new any more but you'll
get one on ebay for a decent price. As has already been said, I wouldn't
dream of recording or especially mixing a session without it. It simply will
make you work a lot faster and frankly I've found my mixes with it are
superior to those I did without it moving one fader at a time with
VoiceOver. So definitely a worthy investment. As also mentioned however is
the act of editing with the number pad which is proving to be the fly in the
ointment for me personally...

Hi Robin,
A control surface is extremely handy to have for speed and accuracy. That
said, it depends on the kind of work you're doing. Today, I did a brief
editing session for a client who only required some two-track edits. Since
they had sent me some mp3s via email, I simply launched Pro Tools on the
laptop, did the edits using the numeric keypad, consolidated the edits and
threw them on a flash drive. That kind of work can easily be done without
a control surface. Yesterday's session was a live tracking session with
drums, bass, guitar, keyboard and vocals onto 20 audio tracks. I wouldn't
dream of doing a session like that without a control surface. I understand
the Artist series surfaces from Avid are relatively inexpensive. Perhaps
others on the list can comment.
Best,
Slau

Hey Slau,
thanks a lot for your reply!
Alright, I guess I’ll try that… Just wondering, is there any kind of gear
that I should get along with PT? For example, a control surface or
anything like that…
Thanks!

The update should be out soon, perhaps a week or two, not sure. It's
absolutely worth the upgrade. No details are supposed to be discussed
but, put it this way, I just upgraded from 10 HD to 11 HD for $600 and I
wouldn't have done it if I didn't think it was worth it. The release
that'll come in the first half of next year will be even better.

Hi,
many thanks for your explanation! Is this upcoming release the one that
was supposed to arrive in ‚early December‘? If so, is there a new
timeframe for the release? I’m just asking because by now it’s not
really ‚early December‘ anymore…
Also, is there anything else I should plan on getting other than just
the PT software? E.g. a control surface or anything else that would my
PT experience smoother…
Many thanks for any advice! :-)
Robin
