I went the cheap route.  I downloaded TouchDAW for an android tablet ($5) and it works really well.

Mackie MCU Pro replacing a Tascam FW1082, also an  AlphaTrack Fader and TRanzport
the 1082 was getting dodgy

I was advised by my Sweetwater rep that the new Behringer Control Surfaces are finally supposed to be available sometime in November.

Still haven't got my Win 10 download on the music comp. Have it on internet comp for more than a month. I use a Mackie MCU and 1 extender for DAW and will be using an Akai Advance 49 for plugins. And a wireless QWERTY keyboard with transport controls.


I'd love to hear from you after you get the Akai. It looks too good to be true...

I use and still love my MCU and extenders, but they are expensive, even after all these years. Also, I really only use them for faders, transport, M/S, and the programmable function keys, i.e., I've never been able to get them to work practically with plugins. I'm too impatient.

Also have used the BCFs, which are amazing for the price. I'm very curious as to what they have coming out. Does anyone have any inside info?

Mackie Control Universal Pro with Extender. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I wish Cakewalk would invest just a bit more energy into this unit though, like remembering the darn thing(s) when you forget to turn them on before you start Sonar. That said, they have been pretty solid for me.




Smallstonefan,
 
I used to have that problem with my MCU when I first got it .  I fixed that problem by adding 2 Furman  power conditioners to my rack.  This way, when I hit the power switch, all hardware is turned on at one time.  Now when I open Sonar X3e, the hardware is already on and USB and midi devices are connected.
 
I purchased my two from Craigslist for about $40.00 each. 
1. Furman M-8L Power Conditioner 
1. Furman PL-Plus C Power Conditioner
