still busy buying and setting up Paris systems
for his amigos in the Kansas City area.
I saw him post a few times in the past few months. Try the for Sale group.

unit, and how it works with Cubase:
For my needs, this thing kicks major ass. The build quality is solid, with
all the buttons, faders, and knobs feeling like pro level stuff. Construction
is at least as good as the Mackie, if not better. The lack of a weighted
flywheel for jog/shuttle isn't a problem. While not as nice as the Mackie,
the wheel has a decent feel and is still usable. I'll talk about the most
obvious difference between this unit and a Mackie first, the missing LED
scribble strips. This is probably what will be a deal breaker for some.
For me, it's OK since I am usually under 24 channels anyway, often with
tracks consolidated into groups. For folks who often run more than 24 channels,
you might want to bite the bullet and go for the Mackie with extender(s).
There are two reasons that I wouldn't want to use this unit for large channel
count projects. The first is that the virtual scribble strips are worthless.
The strip is sized to fit on a single monitor, and the resulting font required
to fit all 24 channels is

super small. I'm only 36 years old, but my young
eyes can't read it at an arms length. It also has no grid structure or numbers.
This is basically what you see on screen:
kick snare OH L OH R bass DI bass mic gtr disto gtr crunch keys 1 alt
keys lead vox bak vox vox comp harmony solo... etc.
OK, can anyone tell me what's on channel 12, in less than 5 seconds? The
second issue is the way the bank button works in Cubase SL/SX3. If you have
say 28 channel strips, banking up doesn't change the physical faders to channels
25 and up. It instead makes faders 1-24 now equal software channels 5 through
28. The original 24 channels are now in different locations, which is quite
confusing without a usable scribble strip. The workaround I see for this
is to always work with multiples of 24 channels in the software. This way,
when you bank up, you are changing all the physical faders to a totally new
assignment. So here is what I plan to do to make it work for me: I will
make a default project, with 24 audio channels and 24 midi channels. Bank
1 will always be my audio tracks. Bank 2 will always be my midi/VSTi channels.
I now only need two rows of masking tape under my faders to label the project.
Toggling between banks simply "toggles" between my top label and my bottom
one. I will manage the project so that these numbers won't change. For
example, If I add a VSTi, I get a new VSTi audio channel. I just need

pen XP and run Digital Performer. They're porting to run on
Intel hardware...big difference.

the Drumagog sample with my recorded snare and play with the timbre by
changing the pitch. If you don't think you'll want to import Giga libraries,
use the midi output feature, or use the "Live" or "Advanced" triggering,
then you don't need the pro version. It's pretty reasonably priced though,
so my suggestion would be to go pro.

One more thing, I amde a mistake. The Mackie DOESN'T have a weighted jog
wheel. I guess I was thinking of my old C16 ;-)
