Thanks. This really has been the best decision, to retire and pour all my money into something I love that I can create with. I was worried about the expense at first, but the hard work and money was all worth it.
I got them on Amazon. I basically just looked for the skinniest side tables I could find. www.amazon.ca/Yusong-Industrail-Magazine-Storage-Assemble/dp/B08GKR4NM6?th=1
Well I had the faderport before the board, so that probably influenced my decision to have one. The board obviously has faders, and basic transport controls (rew, stop, play, rec). But the Faderport puts the controls right beside my keyboard, which is a much easier reach. With the keyboard tray in front of the mixer, the transport controls are just far enough that I have to lean forward to use them. But also the Faderport has a scroll wheel. I ususally have it in "Scroll" mode for moving around a project. It has previous/next buttons for jumping between markers, you can turn the track automation settings to Write, Read, or Touch with the push of a button. Also there are dedicated buttons for click on/off and loop on/off. So overall the Faderport makes Studio One navigation faster. I rarely move multiple faders at once when mixing, because that's what automation is for. So for me the mixer is basically a glorified tracking control surface and I rarely use it in DAW mode.
@@EdgetoneStudios A few people have said they rarely use it in DAW mode. I’ll be starting with a FP 16, dropping dime on the actual board may not be necessary…
Thanks. I'm really excited about featuring some bands. I was supposed to start in February, but the two bands I had lined up both suddenly got really busy.
