Hi everyone,
I know we’ve talked about this before on the list, but, at the time I wasn’t looking for a control surface. So, I didn’t pay attention. My bad. I am using ProTools and right now I have a Midas M 32 are mixing console or as they say control surface. Wonderful board! Except for the fact that most of it is unusable by us blind folks. There is so much screen work that needs to be done and knobs that affect each other and things like that that most of the unit is virtually unusable by me. So now, I am looking to sell the control service that I have and purchase something that I can use. Now the question comes, wait for it, what do you recommend? I would like something at least 16 channels or more. The one thing I liked about the 32R is that it has 32 channels. It’s not a large board because the channels are divided up into groups. I also like the fact that it has motorized sliders. It was great for loading songs because the sliders would go back to where you originally were as most of you probably know. So again I ask, and please don’t be so mad at me, what do you recommend? I’m thanking you in advance.

I would recommend anything from Pro Sound Effects, either the Hybrid
Library, or Odyssey Collection, both are solid, detailed, and very
high-quality sound libraries. I'm not sure of the accessibility of
meta-data reading tools such as BaseHead or SoundMiner with VoiceOver,
but the library can easily be used without those tools. Thanks!

Hi, not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but I’m very satisfied with my FaderPort 16. Paired with the plugin monitor in Flo Tools, and by viewing tracks in groups, I find it easy to work with.

Best,
John André

I have the pre-Sonus fader port eight. So far I have been satisfied with the results except for controlling plug-in parameters. For some unknown reason the faders keep resetting themselves when I attempt to adjust parameters. However, it seems that this problem is isolated to me and most people are having good luck with this control service.

Hi Chad,

I have the same problem with fader port 8 with the faders in plug-in mode.

Tom.

does the same thing happen no matter what software you are using in terms of daw or does this only happen when using pro tools specificly?

Glad I’m not the only one. I have run out of ideas. Guess I might have to call support. I have tried deleting automation and that yielded no results.

I have not tried in logic yet so unknown.  I only mix in pro tools.  I probably should give it a go in logic just to see what happens.

Thank you for your input. I was a little surprised that I didn’t get more response because of the fact that this was such a hot subject a few months ago. I’m still looking and I’ll find something that’ll work for me. I’ll take all of your advice with a lot of value. Thanks so much
