midi control for Rane TTM57SL

J1'2P 7:03 PM - 20 September, 2011
Does it make sense to buy a midi control for the Rane TTM57SL like the Denon DN-HC1000S for example?
Would this give me the ability to do more wth the mixer?
what would be some of the advantages or disadvantages?
can the TTM57SL do everything on its own and not need a midi control?
is it necessary? is it a good idea?
Thanks

It really depends on what all you want to do. The 57will let you do just about anything you want but just like any controller, there are only so many buttons, knobs cadets etc... Available at one time. If you want to control more things at once than the 57will allow then look into adding a controller with it. That comes down to you figuring out what YOU want to do and control. Once you know that, see if it can be done with just the 57 if not, look at the different controllers out there and find one that gives you what you need.
