Topic: Controlling Total Mix with Akai APC40?
Hi all,
I perform electronic music live and use ablteon and a controller, thinking of upgrading my soundcard to a rme ucx and am intrigued about the possibilities of using totalmix. I've used a mixer on stage and find it useful to eq the basic channels realtime, the main stereo mix from ableton as well as an extra channel of bass (I use a drum machine separately to all of that). So Ideally I would like to be able to control total fx's eq section in realtime during the performance as well. I've read that totalmix supports mackie controllers but I'm not to keen on lugging another large-ish bit of gear when essentially I just want to affect two channels (the stereo from Ableton and mono for bass) which I guess I could do on the laptop with mouse etc. but I do like me the feel of faders and knobs as most would agree (all you luddites!) so my question dear rme forum peeps is - is it possible to control the totalmix channels, fx and eq with the akai apc40? If so would it require some deft bomes midi programming skills? And if not whats a small (and cheap!) midi controller that would happily control totalmix?
