Best controller for Cubase to replace mouse and keyboard

I used to have a CC121. It’s somewhat limited in it’s features but it’s a really nice quality controller. If you use the Cubase channel EQ a lot then it’s pretty good. The fader is motorised by the way.

I used to have a Mackie MCU Pro setup years ago but I didn’t like it that much. For anything more in depth than volume/pan/mute I found it too fussy trying to read the 6 channel scribble strip displays and work out what parameter I was adjusting.

The Eucon controllers are way better than MCU but they are more expensive than anything you’ve mentioned so you may not want to spend that much. I used to have an Avid Artist setup which was good and now I’ve got an S3 which is even better (although not cheap!).

I also have a Panorama P6. To be honest I don’t really use the DAW control features on it but I know some people love it so maybe you should try and test it for yourself.
