Re: Automation
Control surface by far although I write automation with a mouse and keyboard plenty. It's all preference.

Re: Automation
Same here. I'd say I use mouse and keyboard about 10% of the time.

Re: Automation
Recording magazine had an article a couple of months ago whee they asked different engineers about automation and most said they use keyboard & mouse instead of a control surface. Go figure.
Also I watched a YouTube video where a fellow was doing some work I think it was in PT and he used a Wacom tablet and stylus like Photoshop people use. I have one around here somewheres and will have to give it a shot but with my carpal tunnel issues it might be a challenge. Right now I'm a mouse/keyboard kind of guy. |

Re: Automation
Mouse/keyboard 90%. Control surface 10%.

Re: Automation
I use the mouse and keyboard 100% of the time because of the accuracy it affords.
