Euphonix control surface...

The MC Control (and its lil’ halfling brother the MC Mix) are in the Sweatwater store now for preorder. $1499 gets you four faders, a jog and transport, and a very nice touch-screen display. More faders in banks of eight for $999. Nuendo and Cubase 4 come with EuCon, but I can’t speak for other DAWs, so it’s debatable whether you can actually work this if you’re a Pro Tool or whatever.

Complaints? Sure. I’m left handed. Euphonix hates me, and always has. Mac only until some time Real Soon Now, which in Euphonix-speak could easily mean “never.” But if you’re in the market for a control surface, and you can fit this in to your workflow, get it instead of some dumb-ass Mackie bullshit. It’s only $500 more, but easily $5000 better. And then, when you sell shit on eBay, you can put “from Euphonix studio…” in the description.
