    Need some expert advise here... Which control surface works best with VE Pro 5 connected through Nuendo?

    Does it work for volume automation etc?

    E.g. Avid Artist Mix, Mackie MCU Pro, something else?

    Cheers

    This may sound like a stupid question - does any control surface with faders work as both MIDI CC controller (for Plugins) as well as Volume mixer?

    Anyone?

    It seems this was a tough question to ansser for the experts here... ;-) Just kidding

    Let me put this the other way - has anyone been successul in using Euphonix / Avid Artist series, or a similar controller with VE Pro 5 (maybe through Nuendo)? Are there any problems that are worth being aware of before making an investment?

    Cheers!

    Do you want motorized faders? There are lots of controllers that do what you want, but not with motorized faders. I have heard about one product that did, but it's discontinued, AFAIK.

    Hi DG,

    Thanks for your response... It may not necessarily have motorised faders but I'd prefer if it has... Can you please suggest couple of good controllers?

     I have no experience of what is good or not, but I did get my hands on a Novation Zero MKII recently. I sent it back (because I had been led to believe that it had motorized faders), but other than the slightly plastic feel, I think it could work well. You could also try the Lemur for iPad. I have a proper Lemur, and it does the input side of things well. I just don't like touch screens for controllers.
