I personally need more than one, which is why I bought the vstudio 700. The main reason I like it is that I can close my eyes and mix the move the faders for multiple tracks up and down in the mix and very quickly hear different results. 

If you don't need it, don't get one, but I find it to be a massive difference.

As for automating, I have automated several tracks at once, but only for fade down to nothing. For intricate things, I usually use a single fader, or in my case, the xray T bar, and then finish it up with the mouse.

I agree, that's what I was doing when I used my VS-1880, sometimes you need to turn away from the visual and let your ears decide!

That is one of my points. Thanks.  The ears rule!

And it's a very critical point. 

I'm making a conscious effort to look away from my monitor now, because I find I'm focusing too much on how my music LOOKS than how it SOUNDS.  I know that may come across as an odd statement, but it's easy to fool the brain into what it's hearing when you have pretty visuals in front of you.  

Just my 1/2 cent, anyway...

Yes it was you John who started the slinging match by calling my post nonsence

 
your post was nonsence and full of wanker techno-bable.. all that (im a modern digital musician bullsh*t) do you and your new cheerleader boyfriend kc2ine really think that tablets, apps and degrees make you cutting edge? gimme a break man...

YES in one word but I was only using this as one example of being cutting edge, I can give more examples and my research will test the idea of what is to be cutting edge.  Call me what you will but it's normally the luddites (I hope you know what that means??) who make statements like yours sir. 
 
As for jobs, there are quite a few research fellowships that I am interested in once I have finished my PHD or RHD and as I say Professor of Music (The Honcho) and I have seen two jobs so far this year for this kind of postistion one was 80,000 and another was 120,000 if I remember.
 
As for teaching jobs there have been at least 10 more advertised here in OZ and the wage was between 60,000 and 80,000.
 
So I will take my technobable, yes moving on from this post and study some more, mix and master a song that I have been working on, oh yea another reason to do a PHD everything is payed for!!!!  I need a copy of Cubase ok here you go sir!!!  I think I get access to a new laptop and $1500 a year for my project so la la to you (this is not the case for all uni's some are more generous and some are less).  What more can I say!!!!

Wow, what a thread. Quick summary to save anyone the trouble of reading it..........

The resident troll asks a loaded question. Rubbishes the opinions she/he doesn't agree with.

In comes Dr. Hash #1,200 to let us know how great he is because he 3 degrees, a cat, and a budgie.

Thread degenerates.........

That's all folks.............

Lock coming soon?

Thanks Kark, beautifully summed up.

It's just a waste of bandwidth, and a great example of why I spend very little time on here now.
Lately I tend to look in for a bit of entertainment when I'm bored ... like waiting for big downloads
to finish and stuff.

And well, you do have to laugh at some of this stuff.

It is refreshing to see some of the good folks like yourself still hanging on in here helping out
the community of those with genuine needs and questions.

Keep up the good work - you are appreciated, many of your posts have helped me immensely. :-)

Cheers - Cliff

Thanks for the props Cliff. I wonder if we're related in some distant way?

It does get a little weary sometimes, and I'm trying to keep my nose out of some of the more controversial threads nowadays.

As long as I keep having fun making my racket music I'll keep on trying to help, and learn of course. That's the good thing about this community what someone doesn't know someone else will.

What utter crap the OP and two degrees man are talking here. As usual.

By the way, I was going to say that my MCU Pro is away for servicing at the moment (the 'scribble strip' died). You really do appreciate the benefit of multiple faders when you suddenly lose them!

Oh stop it for Dog's sake!

You say you're "cutting edge" and "high end" (in another post) yet you mix on bloody Beyerdynamic phones!

This forum is not a place where you can go and have your ego stroked, and I'm afraid every one of your 211 posts has come across in exactly the same way.

You don't fool me, and I suspect you don't fool a lot of the other forum members (kc2ine excepted)

I'm a natural sceptic FBB

What? You suspect he's not a Dr. with several degrees, and a fountain of knowledge all things audio?

Tell me it isn't so................ 

I'll happily believe he has the qualifications he says he does. What I don't grasp is why he thinks anyone here should care or be impressed. Lots of people go through higher education. It's really not that remarkable.
