Re: Steven Slate Raven MTi
I'm glad to know there's now the intention to write specific integration code for DP. However, I'd like to start integrating the MTi into my workflow now (DP8).
I understand that for PT and Logic in Raven 2.0, macros have been written using combinations of commands that utilize the menus of those specific DAWs. Pre-DP release, it seems you could use the Raven's ability to write macros to cover much of that ground.
It seems that exactly pixel-aligning the Raven mixer with the PT or Logic mixer is a go/no go critical requirement. Is this possible currently with DP8?
If I buy an MTi today and plug it into the second DVI output of my video card, would I be able to utilize the screen space of the MTi and my current 30" monitor as I would if I had added another standard monitor?
The larger question that overarches those mentioned above: what exactly would I be able to do and not do before the DP specific Raven software is released?

Re: Steven Slate Raven MTi
I posted on the Raven Forum and asked about the limitations of using a Raven pre-DP release. Here's the answer:
Me: Does this mean I could use touch control in DP as you would use a mouse click and drag, but that's it. There would be no other functionality available?
Slate: Exactly, until the Digital Performer build is released, control is limited. Your finger will act as the mouse.
Me: Could you give a few examples so I know the type of functions you're alluding to?
Slate: Raven contains many unique features to enhance DAW functionality with multi-touch. Some of these include the Nav-Pad, Floating Mixer, Close Plugin Button, Close All Floating Windows Button, Floating/Customizable Tool Bar, Double Tap To Zero Faders... and the list goes on.
You can find many videos on the SlateTV page to get an even greater understanding of Raven.

Compared to the cost of a Mackie MCU and its expanders - that thing looks darn cheap and more useful besides. I'm in.
Also, I believe a dual mode is in the works for ganging them together. Smart play.
