Audio Control Surface and FCP AND Avid
I see that Apple are plugging the Mackie control surfaces for FCP 5.
Do they work with Avid (Xpress Pro Mac)’s automation gain too, or is there a different control surface that does work with both FCP and Avid and even Pro Tools?

AFAIK Xpress Pro will not work with the Mackie controller. In usual Avid style, they only support Digidesign control surfaces (which in true Digidesign style usually won’t work with anything else!).
However the Digidesign Command 8 surface does seem to have a “standalone MIDI controller mode”, so that might be worth an investigation. OTOH FCP uses “Mackie Control Protocol” and the surface doesn’t support that then you’re out of luck.
