Re: Control Surface Recommendations
Interesting comments Mac. I don't have any experience using a control surface with Protools, and am only commmenting about what I've read. I'll try my BCF controller soon and see if I have any luck controling plugins with it. I look forward to hearing how you get on with automting plugins with the surface when you get it.

The money aspect might be interesting. And why spend more then is needed? the idea of having an Avid device does not arouse me one bit. i wanna have a good and working controler. if thats a QCon pro, its fine by me.

Re: control service question
Hi Brian, we've just been discussing this very control surface in another conversation on this mailing list. I've got a BCF but I haven't been able to try using it with ProTools yet. I should be able to give this ago in the next two weeks. I know that you can definitely automate volume and pan, but I am unsure about automating plug-ins with it yet. I shall report back when I know more.

Re: Control surface help
Okay, thanks Matt. What about the M audio oxygen keyboards? Apparently they also have the ability to control plug-ins. I haven't done much research on this yet, I am out at the moment, But this seemed to be very affordable. I do not need motorised faders.

Perhaps if the plugin parameters could be controlled by midi values then plugins might be controllable - I don’t know. I have a Beringer BCF2000 which I think works with ProTools under the HUI mode. I think this also allows me to control send faders as well as track and busfaders. At least that’s a start, but I could buy Reaper for £60 and control anything I wanted with midi. OK, I’ll stop moaning. I’ve been suckered into using ProTools - it’s extremely accessible - and so I’ll just have to put up with its idiosyncratic quirks, which, let’s face it, are driven by making money through forcing you to buy proprietary software. The Avid Artist control surfaces, which allow you to control plugins, cost over £1000. Not sure I’m going to earn enough from audio to justify that.

Hi Christopher, all the parameters are fully accessible.when you're in the plug-in, go to the bottom of the window to where it says, FXTDM Edit view. Interact with that, and all your parameters are there. To change the value, interact with your chosen parameter, and move the arrow keys up and down.
