As a musician new to computerized production, I’ve found these articles really helpful! I just bought the M-Audio axiom 61 pro and 2 bx5a monitor speakers to complete my (starter) studio. I don’t think I made the rookie mistake of getting too much at once?
I’ve been navigating my way around protools 9, learning key commands and basic functions. I believe my new controller will make things WAY easier than the whole “point and click” to make notes deal!
Best of luck to everyone out there!
