Hi everyone. I'm looking to add a touchscreen to my setup, and I'd love to hear from anyone who uses one.
It's primarily to minimise my use of the mouse when editing in the piano roll and with plugins. (I'm starting to get signs of overuse in my hand/wrist after hours of editing automation etc). I have a lot of custom key commands in Logic and also use Composer Tools Pro on my iPad, so the new touchscreen wouldn't be to replace them.
I was initially thinking of a large touchscreen monitor (like the Acer 27 inch) together with touch-base.com drivers. But I'm wondering about the possible pros and cons of that versus a Slate RAVEN MTi2. As far as I can see, the RAVEN really comes into its own with the mixer overlay, and the batch command system. I'm not sure how much use I'd make of the multi-touch mixer (rather than simply using one fader at a time). I also understand that the batch command system is configured to work with the standard DAW key commands, so I'd have to rebuild anything related to my existing custom key commands. Maybe that'd be OK. And the Raven's screen resolution is only 1920X1080, whereas other 27 inch touchscreens could be higher resolution. Not sure if that's a pro or a con though...
Anyway, anyone with experience of either of these routes, please do let me know your thoughts!
