I haven’t posted anything pro-audio lately so here goes.
For all of you who produced music regularly in their home studios, and who have been looking to spend some money on a new cool device that can massively ease-up your configuration, I would recommend checking out this device:
When I first saw the picture up on Red Leaf’s website (www.dawtouch.com), I thought this was yet another touch screen thingy with a dedicated interface. As the video demonstrates, I was in the wrong. What a breakthrough to be able to control any sequencer whatsoever with the Daw Touch. And its not pressure sensitive – the advanced optical imaging technology makes it smoothly and easily manageable with your fingers, a pen or whatever (for those of you who spend hours upon hours mixing and recording in front of your dual-screens, manipulating keyboard and mouse till you fingers get numb, this seems like a life-saver).
This device is pretty darn amazing and will most probably set a standard for the new DAW generations to come, and for most audio geeks $3500 ain’t that big a deal.
Woof

wait before you buy touchscreen monitor
Why would anyone spend $3500 for this? If you buy a Dell ST2220T IPS panel touch screen ($300) and use Touch-Base drivers from jolly old England ($218) you can run multi-gesture touch in Mac OS X 10.6-7 right now. The latency probably wouldn’t be any worse than the DAWTouch product and it would cost you nearly $3k less.
I’d rather have THREE Dell ST2220T’s + Touch-Base software for less than $1200 all in to lay out a 72 channel virtual mixer in Logic–with EVERY feature available (unlike hardware control surfaces which require configuration compromises), rather than cough up $3500 for one unit.
