Best Mixer/Control Surface for 001

[ian benn]

I have been looking at various solutions with regards to this subject, and looked back through the DUC for some kind of general concensus, but cannot reach a decision on which way to go.
The CM Motormix looks great but is very expensive considering it is just midi controller.
Yamaha 01V & 03D look like no starters (which is a shame)
Are there any other possible solutions out there?

Thoughts please anyone?

Thanks [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Mackie is going to be supporting PT for their large Mackie Control pretty quick... You didn't say which OS you're running, so just a warning, apparently lots of problems with the TASCAM US-428 on Win XP...
JL Cooper is coming out with a nifty-looking 32 track minidesk controller this week; Electronic Musician is planning a review as soon as they get their sample.

I like the Mackie stuff myself; the Baby HUI already supports the 001.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Running OS 9.1.
Like everyone else have been waiting for PT 6, and then upgrade to OSX.
Thanks for the info, Mackie equipment is nice, but a little expensive.
I have been trying to mix a number of songs lately, hence the interest in control surfaces as things get to be a pain using the mouse all the time.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Checked it out, certainly looks like the business. I see that Digi 001 is mentioned in the sales blurb, but how much functionality are we talking about here, i would want to be able to control plug-ins as well as simple fader moves.
Cannot find anything about Version 2 software though, can you please explain the advantages of HUI control.
Has anyone else had experience, or is using a DM 24 with Digi 001/Mac G4 set up?
If you have, or are, please leave your thoughts.

Many thanks,

Ian

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Had to go to tascam.com, and then USA site. There is even a pdf doc on digi 001 interfacing with the mixer, superb!
I was originally looking on tascam.co.uk, of course there was no mention of anything on the UK site, bloody typical. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]
