Default Before buying a Control 24 we need to solve some doubts...

Hello All.

We are newbies in these forums (but not in the world of audio) and we have some doubts that, due to the non-supported status of Control 24, we can’t find online help about. We hope that someone finds him/herself in a similar case and can help us before buying some gear!!

We’ve been a lot of time with an ASUS PC Windows XP, Cubase SX and an EMU-1820 as audio interface. We’ve jumped onto a Mac Pro (2010, QuadCore, 16 GB RAM) with Mac OsX 10.6.4 and Pro Tools 10 native. The main sound card is a MOTU 2408MKIII connected through a PCI-424 card, and as a secondary card a MOTU 1224 also connected via the PCI-424.

We have been offered a Control 24 and we have investigated some here and there, and obtained the conclusion that although it is a non-supported product it could be possible that it would work with Pro Tools 10 native and eventually without main problems.

Now, and here is the question: do we need an AVID or (Digidesign) certified interface in order to have all the functionality of the Control 24?? Or we can just connect to our Mac Pro without any extra interface??

Sorry if the question may appear stupid, or has been answered a zillion times…It’s just that the Control 24 appears to be in a good condition and it’s always a pleasure to work with a control surface instead of mouse & keyboard.

Thank you in advance.
