Question

Control Surface for Audition - Hardware or iPad

Hi,

I would like to try mixing multitrack projects in Audition with a control surface of some description. However, lots of searching and reading seems to give mixed responses as to what works consistently with the current version of Adobe Audition CC.

One option would be something like the Behringer X-Touch Compact. Another might be a software controller that runs on an iPad. It might be cheaper to go down the iPad route as I have a 2017 iPad already. However, I see conflicting details about what works, and what software has been maintained for current versions of iOS. Added to all this is the need for it work with the PC version of Audition.

Has anyone got any recommendations of hardware or software that would work with the current version of Audition, and that is being regularly maintained?

As a bonus, the solution would also work with Premiere Pro CC, and ideally would have hardware/software controls for that too.

Thanks in advance,

Adam

    You also have to bear in mind the fundamental problem with any form of iPad 'solution' - you have to look at it to see where your finger's going. When I tried this myself, I came to the conclusion that this simply wasn't worth it; you'd be better off with a touch-sensitive screen running Audition itself, mounted in a sensible place than that. Even though it inevitably costs more, a properly tactile solution is far better, IMHO.

    I suspect that you're right and a physical option is better. But I wanted to explore all options considering I do have an iPad to hand.
