Would your perform brain surgery with a gardening trowel? I don"t think so! Assuming you"d perform brain surgery at all (don"t try this at home, kiddos) you"d want to use the right precision tool for the job. That"s what separates the serious audio cats from the guys who goof around. The Avid Artist Transport is like a laser scalpel for your DAW, allowing you to take the finest control of your transport so that you can make super accurate adjustments. What the Artist Transport gives you is a bed of soft keys with LED feedback, and number keys that double as soft keys, all centered around an ultra-accurate optically encoded jog wheel and spring-loaded shuttle ring. The whole layout is so intuitive that you"ll quickly be able to do all of your navigation with one hand on the Artist Transport and two eyes on the screen.
