i plan to clean up my project studio desk so i am thinking of buying the alesis mastercontrol because it seems to fit all my needs within ableton live.
i dont consider it because i want to "upgrade" my amps, converters etc.
it should basically give me a little bit more flexibility and space. it will be used for mixdowns, maybe recording and some odd dj session. it should replace the following stuff...
- m-audio uc-33 e (as my daw midi controller)
- yamaha mg 124c mixer (which i barely use)
- behringer BEHRINGER ADA8000 PRO-8 DIGITAL (ad/da conversion)
(-> i can still feed the mastercontrol adat-in via a motu 828 usb)
- mixvibes U46MK2 dj soundcard
it seems to me that the mastercontrol can replace all features of this gear, or did i miss anything important?
one thin that worries me, is if it can be used "stand alone"? found no mention of it anywhere.
hope that anyone can give me some feedback, thanks in advance.
