Hi Guys I am on the look out for a surface controller which is not to complex. My main goal for automating tracks is to basically automate the volume, pan, and effects. I was wondering is there an inexpensive surface controller which can accomplish this? I went to my dealer and enquired about the Mackie Universal controller, and the behrenger f2000, is this considered to be a pretty decent surface controller, or am I stuck in going Mackie? I do plan to upgrade as well my Mackie 1402 to a onyx 1620, or Mackie Onxy 1640, with the firewire sound card. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
