I think if I was doing a lot of intensive recording/mixing I would want an actual control surface with motorized faders. That was a bit too fiddly for my taste, but it worked. I have a Roland/Cakewalk A-300PRO with integrated ACT for Cakewalk and Sonar. I just haven't figured it all out.ĪCT, ugh! I gave up on trying to control my DAW with a keyboard. I want to go into my setup and make music, not spend an hour poking around to try to figure things out. I can probably make it work in Mackie mode, but don't have a lot of time to diddle with it. If there is something Cake could work on that would be it. TBH I am not a fan of ACT in Cakewalk, mainly because I never made it work. My only regret as a keyboard player is I think I should have probably looked at the 88 key version. I'm guessing they probably change scenes in Ableton in addition to drums. I haven't checked to see what the implementation in Ableton is for the drum pads. Writing automation with it in Ableton is nice. Faders are pick up, which takes some getting used to. In Ableton though, it's fully integrated. Unfortunately I have bugs in it with Cubase I'm still working through, and Cubase is still getting a few bugs out of their new midi controller features for version 12. The mixing capabilities along with Arturia synth focus are what shine for me on that hardware so far. Since I have a computer keyboard right in front of the MKII 61, some things are faster using keystrokes. I still haven't mapped mine to Cakewalk yet. I picked up the 61 open box and got a decent deal on it.
