Behringer X-Touch

I was quite tired controlling DAW with mouse or Boss BR-800 when practicing or recording so I was started to search for "true" solution. One of my friends is using X-Touch Compact and advised me for Behringer as out of box solution. So I made a decision.

Once it arrived I connected USB to my Mac, quickly configured my DAW (very easy) and started testing. All functions are working by default, there is also possibility to use some software to remap X-Touch, but I did not found it useful for me. Faders are great responsible (that was one of the main point), small screens are extremely useful the layout is intuitive. I am very happy with it. As device has MIDI interface there is possibility to control other devices I just roughly tested with great results.

My band have Behringer X32 rack for IEM and small venue mixing, X-Touch is very useful as a full compatible hardware mixing surface.

The device is nice built and seems to be robust enough to be not just a home studio piece of gear.

As I am not a professional user of recording equipment I was looking for reasonable price solution and in my opinion that is the absolutely best what you can get with low budget.
