Any opinions on what control surfaces work best with AP6 ? I record maybe 95% of material into AP6 as audio clips, so something with that in mind would be ideal. Any suggestions very welcome. |

Frontier transport looks OK. Anything better ? http://frontierdesign.com/download/pdf/TranzPort/ACID_Pro_6_Layout.pdf |

M-Audio ProjectMix I/O work just like a charm with Acid. It's really impressive. I'm working on a addendum for it : a "Quick Start" guide (or how to hook up Acid & ProjectMix in a few clicks, and on a "Button functions" guide (or what does this button do ?). I'll keep you guys up |

my cheepo behringer bcf works perfect using mackie emulation. I'm thinking of getting another. it's the best bank for the buck unless you want to spend 300-500 bucks more just to get touch sensitivity and scribble strips. Message last edited on6/5/2006 9:35:37 AM bycoolout. |

sure you can...the only thing is that most of the buttons have double or triple duty. there's no dedicated record button. you gotta hold shift and select a track to arm it ... then hold shift and press the play button to record. they don't make plastic overlays for the BCF (although there are templates) so I found the quickest workaround was to just buy a labeler from the office supply store. it took a bit of time and effort to sit there and label 16 buttons but it was a great way for me to learn the functions of the surface. still it's way more that what I expected for 200 bucks.
