Hello, iPeeps.

 

I'd like to recommend a control surface I discovered several weeks ago which
works wonderfully with Garage Band.  Upon first exploration, it feels more
like a toy than a useful device as it is very light, narrow, and made of
cheap plastic with rubber keys on the surface.  However, it includes the
following keys and functionality:

a bank of seven keys on the far left which include the transport controls as
well as an additional programmable button

Mute and solo buttons for eight tracks

Fader sliders for eight tracks

Pan knobs for eight tracks

The buttons can be re-programmed for other functionality if one prefers

The "bank selector" button on the bottom left (also a programmable button)
will select the next or previous eight tracks as well-for instance tracks
9-16 etc.

 

I mention the unit because it is very inexpensive-between 40 and 60
bucks-completely tactile, very portable, and very useful for recording or
editing in GB.  

 

I did install several drivers which did not come with the unit.  I don't
know if I needed these for GB, as I actually installed them for use with
Logic. But when I opened GB, the surface worked like a charm.  I have
programmed some of its buttons and features to work with Logic, because the
unit didn't automatically detect Logic, though it should have.

 

Just thought I'd share.

Have a totally tubular day.
