p their sleeve.

Thanks for all the Mac info BTW. I can see how the cost could be lowered a
bit by going with some 3rd party hardware. If I was logic user, I'd be
turning flips thinking about all the new goodies that are in the works.

>Today was a bonus day. Got the loaner 8in from Brother Rick, got the
bundle of stuff I won from ebay. So, I'm completely covered for the
Peterik concert on the 15th.

However, when I unboxed the bundle of stuff, I noticed that while the
MEC looks good, and the 8in card was still installed, so it's safe,
the Bandwidth knob on the 16 is flopping around. I assume the pot
broke loose off the pcb.

How much of a bitch is it to open one of these things, possibly solder
in a new pot, and then get all the fiddly bits to go back in place?

I suppose I could just relegate that controller to the mobile
recording rig, since I'm only using it for tracking anyway and
wouldn't need to twiddle that particular knob. But aesthetically, it
just bugs me.

pabGot the package. Stuff I got from ebay came today as well, but just
in case there's and issue with any of it, I feel all warm and fuzzy
that I have at least one good 8-in card to use.

Thanks, gorgeous.

What are you getting?

GrahamI've heard good and bad. They are vary cheaply made. They are Ok for the
bed room guitar guy, but not for professional studio work.

Thad, it's a new product, but I'd be looking at the new Alesis MasterControl,
Or maybe a Tascam.

>Hi Thad,
Do you need one that is programmable?
If not then the Mackie is the one everyone copies and it still has the
best integration with the DAW stuff.

The only other one I've seen that is well made and programmable is the
Mixed Logic unit but it is a huge monster.

The controllers that are built into the audio interfaces and digital
mixers do not go deep enough for me to think they are worth while.
And the vast majority of the other control surface units all use the
Mackie Control format so why not just get the real thing? Also having no
drivers to install being able to run longer cable runs with MIDI is also
good.

Unless I can address every part a channel I might as well use a mouse.
