I'm using loupedeck, streamdeck, X-touch, and a custom made midi slider - I'd love more conversations about different control systems - portability, ease of use and setup, using MIDI versus software/USB interfaces. This is a great video and I love the common sense breakdown that you started with about interfaces as you seem to have a lot of experience with them.
It's good to adapt existing hardware to what you need to do. For instance, I use a Corsair gaming keyboard with Studio One. The keyboard software is super customisable so I've been able to map the most used keyboard shortcuts to the Corsair and it's sped up my workflow immensely and allowed me to get away from relying on the mouse
@@spiralmoment I can map complex keyboard shortcuts to a key. Example, let's say I have a command on a normal keyboard that is CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E. With the software I can map it to a key so that simply pressing, say the E key and it will fire off that command. The Corsair software is pretty flexible in what it can do.
I use lemur on my iPad to launch plugs and many other things, but it's also great for moving around the studio wireless. Unfortunately lemur is gone but there's several others and they also work on your phone. if you're not using it for the knobs, might as well get a 20$ app. The loupedeck is really cool with the knobs though, I wonder if they feel nice and if you can pull them off and put on some rogans or whatever?
I wonder if you can extend Loupdeck's functionality as a home automation/control device? I know its main purpose is likely a convenient way to control your computer software.
Technically they are but the mapping, while not hard to figure out seems limited to the core functions of software. I could be wrong but it doesn't seem to reach into plugins...Unless someone knew deep editing for these...but I never got that deep....
Im wondering if you are still using your Loupedeck. Im looking at picking one up. Any thoughts after a year with the device. Its a bit more exp than the stream deck but looks better for setting up so stuff in logic like opening up plugins and so on... Thanks Again
It's still on my desk. It's definitely a handy device. I don't use it a lot to be honest but I really have no complaints about it. If you need that sort of thing it looks great and can be a useful tool...
Bro thanks for the great video! Can you control the mouse wheel via turning a control knob - like say moving the mouse over the "gain" of an EQ (for instance UAD EQs or such) and then turning a wheel?
Thanks! That would be complicated to do. Unlike midi controllers that can handle specific functions in a DAW this connects via Loupdecks app at the system level....
You can use it for any software. The only catch is if no profile exists you have to create it from scratch. You basically search for functions you want and assign them to your desired buttons and dials. Once done, you save it and it will load automatically each time...
