I'm with you Nathan. In all the PT sessions I've worked on, if a control surface was present I've only ever used it for faders... a convenience rather than a necessity.

For my own rig, when making a purchasing decision I've always had a big mouse on one hand or some musical kit on the other ... I haven't been able to justify the former yet. But I don't run a commercial facility so "Vegas Mode" isn't important to me - I don't have clients in my space to impress... I'm only judged on the results. I get away with a Mackie 1604VLZ which really only functions as a souped-up patchbay/ monitor controller...

mouse!
