Control Surface for PTMP

Some people may already know this but for those who dont...If you want a control surface for your Pro Tools M-Powered system but are on a budget and can't afford one such as the Command8 or Mackie Control, The Behringer BCF2000 has a hidden Mackie BabyHui preset added to the units firmwear and can be activated very easily with the touch of a button. You can then tell Pro Tools you are using the Mackie BabyHui in the Control Surfaces Setup Menu...Its as easy as that..Hands-on-Control at a fraction of the price...Its has increased my workflow a greatdeal, now I can make slight automation changes without the use of the mouse..A Preset guide is available from their website with all the instructions in Pdf format...I hope this Helps someone and is explained well enough.

Yeah, that may be true, but the BCF2000 is still the " budget daw controller" as the poster put it. The Project Mix I/O is something I shall consider if I win the lottery

Anyone tried the Kenton Control Freak??

Hey Crate Digger, Have you managed to turn automation on from the BCF???

Yes...once you have activated BabyHui mode, the 'edit' button on the bcf2000 becomes the shift button (2nd fuction button). Then solo's 1-4 (the first 4 buttons under the encoders) become the automation functions (off, read, write and touch) for the selected track...I hope this helps.
