  Audio Mixing Surface for FCP7

  Posted by David Page on July 17, 2015 at 7:54 pm

  Can someone please recommend a moderately priced audio control surface that works well with FCP 7?

  i had a Behringer BCF2000.
  very simple, and affordable.

  i wound up not using it that much.
  the plastic faders made horrible clacking sounds when in automation.
  check it out here:

  i wound up using an Alpha-track single fader control surface,
  which was great,
  i mainly needed to ride levels on music and atmos tracks,
  dialogue and spot effects, i use keyboard shortcuts for.

  i dont think either are available other than on e-bay,
  but Behringer does have a nicely priced unit called X-Control compact
  touch sensitive faders, which the old one didn’t have
  i;d check it out before you buy it though, see if the faders are still just a noisy as the old one.

  I use the Mackie MCU with extended faders.

  It work great and I’ve programmed the job / shuttle wheel and other buttons to mark in/out, play etc.

  I had a mixer that also did this…forget the model. But didn’t use it also because it was noisy. Fwoosh…swoosh…swish…swush….whoosh… All….THE….TIME.

  the Alpha track had a dial to select tracks.
  so in a pinch you could almost work 2 tracks at once,

  but the best thing about that dial was i’d just spin it all the way up to select a track with nothing, or next to nothing on it.

  no more shoosh, shoosh

  not a recommendation, but the Korg NanoKontrol2 looks cool.

  There are now iPad apps that can do this.
