If I had enough justification to purchase the vMix Control Surface, I would do so in a heartbeat, it's the right tool for the job (I am a traditionalist), until then, I'll continue using my keyboard and my smartphone.įirst and foremost, faders will NEVER be as cool as a classic t-bar. My experience has been somewhat mediocre and I am hesitant to use it in a professional environment simply because it has some "quirks" that must be adhered to and are otherwise not "fool proof" during a "Live" production which can appear "amateurish". I would suggest trying a MIDI Controller for starters (as they are more affordable) and ascertain if it will work for you and your workflow. The vMix Control Surface is designed more along the lines of a traditional hardware switcher and has no other reason to exist outside of vMix, so it does what it's supposed to do without any complicated mapping or extensive pre-programming from the get-go. The fact that you can use a MIDI Controller as a "quasi" control surface with vMix is a wonderful benefit if it meets your needs and expectations, but please be reminded that they are not designed as such and you will not necessarily have access to or benefit from all the features these devices have (at least not yet). The "vMix Control Surface" is built solely for vMix, if they could build and sell as many as a single brand of MIDI Controller, I am sure they would cost a lot less. MIDI Controllers are mass produced and have a huge global market. These are two entirely different pieces of hardware designed for entirely different markets.
The simple answer is basic economics and economies of scale. I am kind of surprised you would ask such a question.
