Re: Noob control surface questions!
I don't have experience with the Icon Qcon Pro G2, but if you're wanting an entry level and cost-effective control surface, I'd highly recommend getting a second-hand Artist Series.
I have many Artist Mix as well as multiple Artist Controls. This in conjunction with the FREE iPad PT|Control app is truly a fantastic combo and VERY powerful.
Once you get super comfortable with EuCon and the hands-on approach to mixing, THEN I'd suggest getting the S3 or something bigger and better. You really can't go wrong with the Artist Series, IMO.
