- Heeey, people of the Web, I missed you sooo much! If you thought I abadoned you - you were very wrong :) I was just busy modifying some of the studio acoustics.
Now the studio is really, really finished and can work normally (what a relief). It's also tiome for first hardware upgrades, and as I'm a complete touch screen freak, I tried to find a replacement for Slate Raven solutions.
I got a cheap Asus monitor, I placed two of my Metagrid tablets below and started doing things. Can it work? How is it? Is it slate-like at all? Is it possibly BETTER? Will it replace my Behringer X-Touch DAW controller?
See the episode to find it all out. Cheers & hear ya soon!
This is part 1, part 2 coming very soon.

I did a video on this monitor 2 years ago on MacOS for the same reason. It works great. I now have a 4K touchscreen but the ASUS VT229 sits beside it and is the best plugin controller ever.
Which 4K touchscreen would you recommend, please?
@@yepyep3897 It's an OLED Innocn 15 inch touchscreen. But any of those portable touchscreens will work but THEY ARE NOT PLUG AND PLAY. Watch my video to see how they actually HAVE TO BE set up. Cheers!!
@@joesalyers Thanks.
@@joesalyers Which video are you referring to, if it's not your initial Asus touchscreen video, please?
@@yepyep3897 it is that one, I give you the link for the proper driver in that video to save you 250 dollars.
Bro you just saved me 1000 lol cause I damn was about to buy one cause I’m tired of closing and opening the mixer mainly
Hey Paul, here's a touch screen workflow that i guarantee will blow your mind. Download the free SSL 360 Link and the SSL 360 application. Dedicate your touch screen to the 360 application. Add the 360 Link plugin to every track in your song. Use a channel strip with 360 Link. The 360 app will display the channel strip controls in a console format that will be familiar to you. 360 app has a transport built in. I'm using this setup with my touch screen and it's as close as you'll get to mixing on a hardware desk.
Nuendo lack of 10 point of touch support has been the bane of my existence for years... It is one of the reasons it took forever for meet to jump head first into production... my very first experience was killed for productive workflow via touch.
Steinberg is a grandparent inches from being dumped into a retirement home and left to die because of refusal to accept that younger people demand more options than horses and buggies.
I did the same thing acouple years back and I've never looked back since I bought my 27in touchscreen monitor mine can support 10 finger multi touch and works fully with my mac os in every program
Great to hear! It isn't Raven though, right?
@@FoliaSound Nope it's just a 27in touchscreen monitor with some special software to make it work on MacOs systemwide
This sounds yummy!
@@jdarg4163 hi jason, would you tell us what touchscreen monitor do you use?
@@FoliaSound The monitor I got is the exactly same model as the Raven Mti2 but under a different name as raven done a deal with handspree to make there monitors
Easy fix for lack of multi touch is just switch to Studio One.
Hey, everybody! What do you think of that? Would you go for a Raven or my setup? Or maybe still a classic, hardware controller/console?
I learn so much from you! You’ve sold me on this. Love it. I like the whole aesthetic of your studio.
Does anyone have any idea if the driver still works on this monitor now or has it been modified to not be compatible
Great video 🙌🙌🙌🙌.
?what vessel stand did you buy?
Your video inspired me to purchase 2 of these models....🤗
Cool, man, happy for you! You mean VESA stand? I don't reallt remember, a cheap, generic low stand, you'll surely find one on Amazon!
@@FoliaSound Thank you so much...🙌🙌🙌🙌
what monitor is it? i see its an asus, i was considering getting a raven but i think i may just go this route! great video by the way
Hey, man, yes, this is an ASUS VT229H. I didn't mention it in the vid, because I didn't want to promote any certain product, rather focused on promoting an idea. It serves me wery well, a total game changer, I speeded up my processes even more!
@@FoliaSound thanks for the info! Glad I found this video
@@SeriousBeats My pleasure, sir!
is your touch screen 1080? would you recommend higher resolution or will the faders be harder to control?
There is NO REASON for a studio to have higher resolution. We make music, not playing video games on the damn thing. WHAT would you need higher resolution for? A 720p screen with no lag is going to be 10,000x better than a 4k screen.
@@lilsavdabest you get more things on the screen with higher resolution, such as more faders, the drawback is they are very small, thats why I asked if they're harder to control when smaller
ill take the raven for the esthetic. The raven just looks so professional and futuristic. Yours just looks like a monitor on a desk.
Sure thing, if professional look means much to you. Inside there's a Hannspree monitor with some custom software :)
I'm a professional and I need no look, I need efficient and cost effective solutions. I couldn't recommend this Asus more after two years of using it!
@@FoliaSound I completely understand but clients also pay for esthetic. U can be the best engineer in the game but can’t charge $50 an hour for a Scarlett and a shire sm7b. People like that studio feel as well and the raven with the dual screens has it. 😉
@@NoahJonesNews , my 2nd and 3rd studios charge regular Polish market rates (35-45 USD) and guess what? They're both Scarlett :D I'm serious! We got the aesthetics of the rooms covered, they're also comfy, but first of all - we deliver quality our Clients expect and we know how to talk to them.
You have to work on pro gear, but making the gear itself "impress" anybody - well, if you screw it up on Raven, even Raven won't help your professionalism and retaining your Clients...
@@FoliaSound I’m self taught protools and I use the Apollo twin x, and a Neumann Tlm67. Been recording myself since 2006
@@NoahJonesNews , this is cool! I also own some cool studio gear, but I believe this is not what makes me a real pro, as simple as that :) Thanks!
though... curious how many of the customized gestures and functions available on the Slate you could somehow get to work similarly on this (or any other standard touchscreen). Batch gestures and other Slate specialities, surely not.
am guessing with the full capabilities that Slate's paired software comes with specific to the different DAWs, there'd still be a BIG difference considering that.
Not a bad alternative option for those on a budget tho.
After a couple of years of using this set - I would never, ever swicth to anything else and I don't need any batch gestures - I got absolutely powerful macros from my Metagrid Pro and I'm more than fine with them :)
My arms gets sore just by looking at this. I would consider a way to rest the arms while interacting with the screen.
No sore arms in any way. The monitor is still in front of me :)
The Ss and Fs are harsh, deess your voice :D
Is the HDMI connection all you need for interaction with the DAW?
There's also a USB connection - and this is needed for touch functions. HDMI gives only video signal, touch runs through USB!
Oh cubase 12 has no multitouch ??noo!!
can i use a smartboard? 😅
Not the cheapest option, but go for it ;)
Steven Slate will not be happy!
Yep, probably!
And the more time I spend with that screen, the more amazed I get. A total game changer!
Is... that fred flindtstones boss? Fukkem!
@@bobobobbybooboo7848 Well, I wouldn't call them like that, but I don't use a single of their products.
@@FoliaSound i didnt call them any names, i just said fokker-wulf fukkem! Lol. Hey, real quick question, i dont have a sick soundproof room like yours... any recommendations on a good headphone thats not too pricey? Im lookin at krk 8400. Studio lookin nice btw.
I wouldnt buy this raven, one tablet or simplem touch screen is real useful.... Studio one has app that function very well in android tablet. Now but you have a lot of money left, go ahead. Thank you from Brasil, country where everything is very cheap 😅.
Hey, Brasil, greetings from cold Poland, good to hear from you! I have one Brasilero friend in Poland, he's an audio guy, too!
