New Command 8

[mixer]

Had a HUI for years .. finally bit the bullet and went to command 8 for my home system hd4 accel pt8. Had an icon at the studio where i work. I know it's not perfect but it is running perfect and beats the crap out of my Hui..for the money it cost me i am very happy...

Okay, DIGI: If I buy a Command 8 and, in 3 months you guys release a new one, I can point back to this thread right?

There won't be a new Command 8 in three months time dude!

Good Try Music Guru.

You have to keep your hopes high Pezking.

Maybe its in development. Lets hope and wait to see what happens.

Hopefully something will be announced at NAMM next week..

The Alpha Track does have knobs mapped for eq's, sends and plugins

Ya..tis true..but I'm greedy and I want more of them! Kinda hoping for something akin to the new Steinberg CC121..I'm using a cheapo Behringer to edit my Virus plugin which is great. I mainly use a HUI but it's dying. Looks like a Command 8 if nothing's announced at Namm..

In this case my dealer is wrong too. He also told me that here in the UK.
I was waiting to get a new C|8!!!! Nothing at the NAMM 2009!
So, Digi, really no plans AT ALL to release a smaller than C|24 controller? It sounds too much to imagine that Digidesign is not working on a substitute for Command 8? Is there no plans AT ALL???

I know that to announce new products before it is THE moment does ruin the sells of current products - and lowers the price. I sincerely hope that this is the case - instead of the substitution being ignored.

I am not going to buy a Command 8. Before my PT-HD rig I had a Digi002 that was nice, of course. But I want to upgrade the idea of control surface that I have.

I guess I know the answer to a high-end 8 channel Control Surface from Digi: just buy the main unit of a D-Command ES, they are great 8 faders control surfaces! The only problems is the price, of course.

Never used a HUI before but I really want to buy one now due to more volume automations jobs...
I looked at Command 8, Euphonix Artists series and Mackie Control Universal Pro...
My preference would be the Command 8...BUT indeed...should I wait a few more months?
In Europe at least, prices are dropping seriously for Command 8...is this a sign?
