I am having some difficulty understanding why they don’t make something better in this arena, it’s a great idea.
But here is my issue: I have an 896HD so I really don’t need a full DAW controller or Digital Console. I was going to by the Tascam because it has automated faders and a Jog wheel (which are my prerequisites) but I have read the drivers are so horrible it doesn't work much at all. The B-control and the m-audio uc-33 do not have Jog wheels and the iControl does not appear to work on any Logic Platform only Garage band. I do some pretty intensive editing on vocals so I really need a Jog Wheel to scroll through the interface when it’s opened up very wide. Can anyone give me any recommendations or info on what I have listed here and / or what’s available out there that I may have missed please =)

Thanks,

Check out this website they have lots of different controllers:

I wasn't planning on spending that much, but they sure are nice. I was hoping someone had tried the Tascam us428 and found the Apple drivers were fine compared to the PC ones. I'm trying to avoid spending $1k on the Mackie, I need to save some more money due to the amount the company has already spent. I have a friend, who actually has the Behringer B-CONTROL FADER BCF2000 and its great, but I really need a jog wheel and it doesn't have one. I guess the search continues, thanks for the help!

Don't know if you've seen this?
