Audio Mixing Surface for FCP7

[Nick Meyers]

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.

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.
