Gear Lust – Smart AV Tango

OMFG look at this thing!

That’s a 22″ widescreen touch LCD. Those are metal knobs, dedicated transport controls, mousepad, 8 channel strips, 100mm touch sensitive fader, touch sensitive rotary encoders.

Drool factor of 9.5

Made for Logic, Cubase and Nuendo, but I hear it works pretty decent with Pro Tools too.
