In short, everything is possible with out a control surface but Control surface makes a lot of things much quicker and easier to do. If you don't have the funds right now don't worry too much about it, but I would definitely say you should Buy one as soon as you can since it really helps a lot. Also look at the Presonus Faderport 8, apparently it's a great surface and it's also a lot cheaper than the Avid stuff.
