Monster desk to control All recording & mixing functions of Pro Tools, with 32 Physical, fully automated faders to grab onto.
Mixing with a Desk, rather than a mouse, is always the best way to go. Tracks can be muted & soloed, & fader automation written & tweaked, with the feel of an old analog console, but with the benefit of total recall, for all your movements.
Mixing & tracking is a pleasure with this thing, not a chore. Has to been seen working to fully appreciate the joy !
