Hi Guys,
I am seeking for some help with replacing my MELTED AND LOST FULL GEAR.
Without too much detail, my basement where my studio was got badly burned loosing all my 5 computers, VPC1 piano, my akay MPD32, my cintiq wamcom and even the iloks and elicenser keys. So I basically have to replace all with new stuff.
The main question is regarding the small surface controller I require to do cc automation and mixing. I used to do the midi cc with the mpd32 midi faders and the tec breath / bite controller. One thing I hated about the mpd32 is that when changing from one track to another, the faders would not match the position I left it. Lest say mic volumes or track volume and then, valume will jump. I lived with it, but now I want to fix this. By researching I came across something I didn't know. Something called "pickup function" where the physical fader, not matching the cubase fader will not send data until the physical fader has nulled or matched the cubase fader. I am still not sure if this is a cubase feature or a controller's feature.
So, the solution I've found is to use motorized faders, but, if that "pickup" or "absolute / relative " function works in cubase, I might be able to expend less money on a normal "non motorized" surface.
I've searched in the forum for recommendations and review, and there are few preferred ones: the IPAD solution (which I am not interested in), the panorama P1, the avid artist series (too expensive for me). And some were interested in the Beheringer X touch series which I've found almost no review. Very interested in that.
So, I would really appreciate if someone has experience with the Behringer touch series because I am leaning towards that. Also, If someone could tell me how the "pickup" function for faders could be achieved it will be much appreciated.
I am also interested in deciding whether I would jump into a single 128GB computer setup or a 128 GB slave with a single DAW main computer just for sequencing. Any advice on this will also be appreciated.
I am also opened to suggestions of the rest of the gear. Now, I am pretty luck to the VPC1. I've tried tuns of digital piano beds, and used VPC1 extensively and I think nothing gets close to the real thing than the VPC1.
Anyhow, thanks in advance for your help.
Agustin.
