You would need like 2 maybe 3 copies of ableton running for this it seems




Though it does look purrrdy

I want one for doing parodies of Star Trek or somethin

If I were properly getting into production, I'm pretty sure I couldn't live with less than this:

I've used the D Control in the video before (attached to a Pro Tools HD3 system), and I've done recording projects that used more faders than were available.

Those things are a freaking gift from god (or whoever paid for them) when you're working on a mixdown. Like…the type of thing that takes hours with a mouse takes minutes with those things.

Seriously.

Now, they're ridiculously overkill for a bedroom producer, since you could buy two very nice cars for the price of one of those things. But, there are reasonable 'budget" options that are just about as good for that application: the SSL Nucleus stands out as an easy choice, as does the Euphonix stuff. Not cheap by any means, but if you're actually doing mixdowns on your own and value your time, they're worth it. Even a Presonus Faderport can make a huge difference.

So, basically my answer to the OP is a resounding "yes, it's necessary." The fact that you don't do anything that would benefit from it doesn't mean the product is useless or even overpriced. If you're actually running a studio, $80,000 is a steal for what those consoles do.

then again artists can make some serious bank from some major hit tunes that sell like hotcakes on sale.

Proper tools for proper applications. The music industry is full of things I have no use for and would be overkill for what I could use them for.
