    Has Slate mentioned it was Mac only? I wouldn't be surprised if a Windows version was developed in the future.

    That being said, I would think that this thing was conceived first and foremost w/ major league studio in mind - so Pro Tools and Mac first and foremost - and that the price tag will be prohibitive, anyway.

      What I really love about this thing, is just how useful this is, as opposed to a $200 midi controller.

    Both of those will be way to expensive for me!

    1 word .. tactile

    wouldn't buy into it.. REAL sliders etc.
    reminded me of a jukebox

    and whoever did the ergonomics.. yay.. neck ache...  

    it's an over engineered solution for a problem that doesn't exist

    As someone who battles tendonitis, that's the first thing that crossed my mind.
    I certainly wouldn't want to work 8-12 hours a day... holding my arms up in the air (to make adjustments).
    That's an ergonomic nightmare.  If you didn't already have RSI (tendonitis, carpal-tunnel), you'd develop it.


    It's basically a virtual control surface... with built in monitoring
    Unique approach... but far too cost prohibitive for the average DAW user.
    Personally, I'd rather have tactile controls (faders/knobs) when trying to make fine adjustments.

    FYI guys, Slate is also working on a scaled down version for home users. Should be smaller, may be a few less features, and more affordable for the "home guys".

    You know this seems to me to be a case of "I've got something funky , shiny and very expensive so I must be more professional than you"! Well perhaps its always been a bit like that with kit snobbery.

    You can just see some fashionable producer using a few of these on the next Lady Ga Ga record - but personally I'd rather listen to Seasick Steve and his three stringed guitar..........


    Seriously though, I agree with everything Fog and Jim said re the ergonomics and I would just add I wonder how long you would spend trying to get the thing to work consistently instead of actually making music?

    normally they get it for free or highly discounted , so they can be used in the advert " blurb"

    I don't think these will go far. Touch screens are coming and the ones who buy these will have some expensive current tech.

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.
