Hmm... seems his website is being renovated, and I can't find where he posted the links...But he bought a custom built desk designed to slot in 2 MC Mix's 1 MC Control and 1 Mc Transport. Looks pretty sexy.

Thanks for the compliments STYLE & FUNCTION built this desk, I really like it. You can visit their website here:

http://www.styleandfunction.net/

As to the pictures of my setup, those are here:

As to the control surfaces.... the Command8 is at the end of its life, but it's still a great control surface for the right person. Understand it's not upgradeable as in expansion of number of units, so if you want more faders...that's not going to happen. Currently it does more than a Euphonix unit, but that is going to change....however the Euphonix Artist series ARE more money and that is not going to change. There are pros and cons to each, it really comes down to the actual user and their needs/budget.

Brad, Looks great!

I can't wait to see what influence Avid has on the MC product line!

BTW: Does the present MC drivers interface with PT LE 8.x? if not how long?

Thanks,

This is a users forum not tech support.
The forum is for troubleshooting, tips, techniques, etc... DIGI/AVID have helped others with support on this forum so I don't see why I can't ask for help too.

If you have any suggestions on how I can get my C8 to work I'd love to hear it.

You say you have been trying to get them to respond to a thread on here for 6 months.

Why do you feel that makes more sense than contacting tech support directly if you have a real problem?
