Always great to see a variety of approaches. In my case it's UF8-UF1-UC1. In front of them are Streamdeck XL, keyboard and mouse. The UF8 is on the left to allow for fader rides in midi cc layer with my left hand while I play virtual instruments with my right hand (mod / expression / etc). UF1 is in the middle so the transport is directly in front of the place where I naturally rest my right hand when not using the mouse (wrist pad in front of keyboard). UC1 to the right because I don't need to look at it for EQ or compressor changes due to muscle memory of the knob locations. I am left-handed but I have always placed my mouse on the right like a right-handed person. For me using transport with my left hand feels strange.

Nice! Thanks for sharing your arrangement and workflow needs! It’s always interesting to see how others needs dictate placement of their tools.

wow ok makes a lot of sense I using a C24 with pro tools still and love the amount of faders and overview it gives me (even if it's just a psychological 'i feel in control' effect which I'm happy to admit) but what you said regarding the right hand resting on the trackball - that's totally true for me and it ends up resting directly in front of the lovely transport control so sometimes I actually have to concentrate using it each time I do I feel happy though because the buttons are awesome 😅

I’ve always wanted that C24!!!! It must feel nice to see it when walking in to the studio!

@@RPMusicStudios it does, I fully admit... then again my setup is frozen in time now and I can't run protools natively as the legacy controllers only work via Rosetta let's see how long I can stay on that 🙈

@@kokocreatesmusic ohhh yea. Are you stuck at 10? If so at least you skipped the headaches of 11,12 and so on. Now it’s been rock solid for me. I definitely tried a bunch of DAWs in that time but I’m just comfortable in PT.

Great overview. I'm almost to the point of pulling the trigger on the UC1 and UF1. Do I miss anything by not getting a UF8 other than the ability to move multiple faders at one time, and maybe some extra soft keys?

@RPMusicStudios 2 ай бұрын

I don’t think so. If you just want the fader for occasional automaton rides then the uf1 is the way to go. I’m just used to having multiple faders to balance drums and multiple guitars at a time.
