IMO using a tablet PC for faders and knobs is just interesting, if you own one for other reasons, that most likely aren't related to music. Assumed you don't have the money, even to get an elCheapo Korg nanoKontrol or similar, but you want to e.g. control filters of a virtual synth, then it's nice, when you can control filters by your fingers instead of using the mouse, assumed the software is for free or does cost 4 EUR. When using it for mixing, then it's nice, because it's wireless, but not for replacing a good mixer, just as a cheap remote control for your DAW and putting such real pseudo faders and knobs on top of the touch screen wouldn't enhance it, it would limit the tablet PCs abilities. This thing is a good homework for the design class, to demonstrate the design abilities of a student, but not good as a real product for mixing with tablet PCs. It's an abstract work, that does demonstrate creativity and some know how, that can be used for other things, that could be really interesting products. A student usually doesn't have the money to realise really usable things, just for a homework. A homework isn't a complementary work/final paper. As already mentioned, before reading it, my first thought, when I saw the pics, was "school". _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
