Does anyone know how good this is?

This DAW controller looks excellent, but does anyone know how well it intergrates with Live?
Cheers

Very interesting, I was to get Yamaha 01X but this might be good alternative, no display but for what if it is to be used with computer, I like the clarity/ simplicity of it.

It doesnt have audio ins like the 01X, so you have to have a seperate soundcard, but it looks pretty sweet anyhow.
Does anyone have any experience of using one?

No, it has 10 ins, 4 XLR, phantom power, 4 outs, it is soundcard, I think it is cheaper because of lack of display and more simple design, and they have to have competitive price.

Live doesn't support Mackie HUI or Mackie Control, which is what the Tascam US2400 uses. Live is not listed under the supported DAW programs.

Quite honestly I've heard many of these surface controllers like the FW-1884, 01x, anything based on HUI or Mackie Control, are not able to be 100% utilized with Live. They need specific support by the DAW developer to take advantage of all the features.

I am happy with the Keystation 88 controls as they are perfect for Live.

I saw these Tascams today in a store, huge!!! In fact both, these are for studio rather then live Live.
