Typicly you would run your control surface into your mac via fire wire and most new midi keyboards are USB, and the keyboards USB would run into a USB port on the Mac as well. - Original Message - From: Krister Ekstrom kris...@kristersplace.com To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent:

No worries. If you can use the others, you're probably best off doing that, I'm just a creature of habbit, and when I was learning, that was the most ifficient way I found to make the magic happen! Have fun, On 27/01/2013, Poppa Bear heavens4r...@gmail.com wrote: Thank you for that tip as well

For a scripted screen reader, that's a nice feature for feedback. I suppose that kind of thing is important if you use pre-configured templates and don't use all the tracks. I never use templates and personally feel they lock you in too early on. Unless one really tends to do the exact same

In the case of most interfaces, they have MIDI ports built in. In the cases where there is no MIDI implementation, you'll need some type of USB MIDI interface like anything from M-Audio. For keyboards, depending on the controller, they might have a USB interface or MIDI or both. Slau On Jan

Hi, So, if i get a control surface, the MBox isn't needed at all, right? I looked at the pricing of the Digi003 Factory fader and it was way way over my budget with a 5 figure price tag in Swedish crowns. /Krister 27 jan 2013 kl. 19:31 skrev Slau Halatyn slauhala...@gmail.com: In the case of

Krister, the 003 is both a control surface and an interface in one unit. The MBox is just an interface alone. Depending on which MBox you have, it's probably just a FireWire port. Various control surfaces out there would either be USB, MIDI or Ethernet. Most likely, you'll encounter either USB

Thanks again. I am learning that it is give and take when going back and forth between two DAWS. Some stuff I like about Sonar better and some stuff I like about PT better. Right now I just want to give PT a fare shot so I am trying to finish the rest of this next projects tracking, and mixing

Hi, Jed and everyone else on the list. My name is Katie Zodrow. I've used the JL Cooper CS10 and the MCS3800 control surfaces with ProTools in the past. I think I used the CS 10 when I took a ProTools class 9 years ago at Berklee College of Music in Boston. I graduated from there in May of

Hi Katie, Welcome to the list. Glad to have you here. Yes, the MCS3800 is a nice surface and could probably be found on the used market for a low price. I'd probably stay away from the CS10 because it doesn't have moving faders and, while it's OK for a sighted user, I think the
