Question  , simple , for the bakers    (to replace the VS 700C or as an altrenative to Avid Artist kindastuff ..)
 
thks

I won't buy it if there is. The lack of updates on the V-Studio (likely Rolands fault) and a terrible history with Tascam gear (sold my DM4800 because Tascams tech support is useless and their programmers couldn't even make a proper driver) have pushed me away from hardware designed for a specific DAW.

i was thinking of putting this idea up in the features & ideas thread the other day.  
 
personally I would like to see a fusion of the VS 700c and Softubes Console 1: Low profile, USB powered, PC dedicated controls, maybe with some hi-res displays a la NI Maschine Studio. 

@perfectprint
That sounds like a good idea!
 
I would be happy to have an ACT-version where I can configurate the controllers (faders, rotaries, knobs and buttons) like on the hardware I use. A little bit like novations automap.
I used automap with a Zero MkII but I was never satistied with the way it controls other things than VST-Plugins. Controlling the Pro Channel is not really fun.

I'm waiting on the Behringer X-Touch to hit the stores. It's a Mackie MC Pro killer...
 

I've seen the x-touch series at musikmesse last spring. I'm as well wa
iting for the release and to read some reviews. The built quality seems very good for a low budget brand.

I actually love my VS-700. I don't have any problems that can't be overcome with a little bit of study. Just got the Maag EQ4 Air Band eq and the ACT gives me knobs to adjust the settings AND it did it automatically!
I am using SONAR X3e on Win7 64bit all day long.
Just sayin'...

Wow... I can't wait to see what new magic the bakers have up their sleeves.

I'm pretty sure there will be a console that integrate with Sonar from Tascam, but you may not see it until a few years. I'm pretty sure you'll see a new Tascam audio interface for the computer probably by this NAMM. High end $5000 - $10,000 console that supports Sonar is highly likely. A low $2500-$3000 console probably is secondary but wise. A $1500 or less console is likely. Tascam invented the home studio portastudio concept, this should be a marriage made in heaven for them. They should produce high quality consoles for Sonar at economically feasible prices considering they still produce low cost hardware recorders with more components.

Sonar has Eucon support now hasn't it ? Get the Avid S3 ! It is awesome just got one for my ProTools rig
