    Any suggestions for a USB 3 track ball color-corection controller for Final Cut? Tanget’s Wave looks interesting at $1,500. Anyone using it?

    take a look at Euphonics MC color.

    I have one and I love the heavier weight.

    Thanks, will ck it out. Do you know if it will work within Final Cut’s 3 way color corrector filter as well as color?

    I have the Tangent Wave here and and it’s awesome.

    Euphonix has the MC Color but to my knowledge it is not shipping yet. They contacted me a while ago about getting a unit to write a review but haven’t heard from them since November.

    I believe the only trackballs that work with FCP’s 3way CC is the JL Cooper (eclipse or spectrum). I use my Spectrum all the time in FCP – unfortunately more than I get to use Color, as not ever project requires the power and time needed for Color. I will say my grades in FCP got better with the trackballs.

    thanks, I’ll hold off for your review. Wish there was something cheaper that would even just work on FC7’s 3 way color corrector.

    I also give the Wave two thumbs up. Aside from the trackballs, there are many other short cuts that are laid out on the buttons and knobs, yet it is intuitive enough to start using immediately.
