I use Logic, so this wouldn't work anyway. Does any company make something similar to this, but with actual knobs and faders?

I gotta try before I give my opinion.

I knew that was coming, so I'm laughing with you Tony. I was wondering if there was a mixing console that controlled Logic, that was affordable.

If only they'd made one specifically for it called Logic Control....and that was still marketed under a different name...

Sounds good to me popmann! I'd love to have my hands on some knobs and faders, but retain full recall. Apple has some innovative controls for plugins in Logic , but I haven't had time to explore them yet. It would be fun to have a "plug-in" box, where you can assign controls to generic knobs or faders, just to get your hands off a mouse for a while.

Logic Control....is what Mackie Control was called when it was proprietary to Logic. If you buy the new ones, there's a key you hold down while you boot it to configure it as a Logic Control instead an MCU.
Still, I honestly think a single channel fader+AI knob in the left hand and mouse in the right is the best bang for the buck by a MILE. In fact, I've considered retiring my MCUs+Griffin Knob for a little CC121 unit that does both.
I actually have proven that a 100mm fader is super important to the end result. But, beyond that, I'm ove the need for physical controllers. They are cumbersome. When someone gets a system where I can turn the screen off for 98% of work, I'll reevaluate. Until then--one channel fader/knob. It becomes the physical knob for whatever virtual one your mouse hovers. That's best of both worlds.
But, if you want to buy some Logic Controls...I might part with mine and get a CC121. I'm all about reducing the footprint these days.

I kind of like your idea Popmann. A fader and a knob would probably do it for me. I'm new to this game, so I'll do a little research on the Mackie control, thanks for the tip. I'll take a look at that Slate mini Raven too, just out of curiosity.

Ableton's PUSH isn't a mixer, but it does let you control almost every parameter without looking at the screen...
