Mark, if you want an excellent control surface that happens to have a sound card built into it then, go for the Tascam FW1884. The FW1884 has 9 motorised faders and is totally accessible. I have a document describing how to access it over on my website: www.philmuir.com/ Once there, from the main site, choose the "accessibility training page. You will find the link to the document there. Finally, if you wish to purchase an FW1884 then, the cheapest supplier in the UK is: http://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/ Regards, Phil Muir P J Muir Productions, Music And Audio Production Telephone: US (615) 713-2021 UK+44-1747-821-794 Mobile: UK +44-7968-136-246 E-mail: info@xxxxxxxxxxxx URL: www.philmuir.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Brierley To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 11:31 AM Subject: [ddots-l] control surfaces Hi What would you say is the best and most accessible control surface on the market that works great with Sonar? I'm probably looking to spend less than £1000 at the moment. Thanks, Mark
