Hi: I have the ProjectMix and it works fine. It has 9 motorized faders and 8 assignable knobs which you can use to control different parameters. It can control 8 tracks at a time. It has buttons for selecting, recording, muting, and soloing each track. I think it also has some preset mappings for controlling some of the plugins included in Sonar but I have not used those. It's a nice unit with great sound. It has 8 1-4 and xLR inputs in the back plus one 1-4 instrument input in the front. The preamps sound good in my opinion, but I do not have experience with other units to compare with the ProjectMix. It also has two headphone outputs in the front with their own volume control. I have not gone into the ProjectMix control panel itself, so i do not know how accessible it is, but then, since the ProjectMix is operating on Sonar mode, I have not had the need to make any changes in the control panel. Good luck.

I have a friend who has one and he recommended me to take a look at it. I know that Dancing Dots are selling those. Regards, Jörgen Hansson!

I'm thinking of geting some kinda mixing desk with motorized faders that I could use for controling the mixer and eq in Sonar. How does the V-studio 700 work? Is it easy to use if you're blind? Any other suggestions for what to check out? I've heard that Behringer has a cheap one but I dont know much about it. /Henrik _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469230/direct/01/
