until I work out a way to sharpen my fingers to a pencil like point…. I’m unsure of the future of touch screens. I’m similarly frustrated with fine control on the iPad.
Touchsceens on phones make sense because everyone already was using tough to interact with a phone…but touch on computer screens is just a solution with no problem.
im surprised how anti technology your responses are considering this is a music technology site. who ever said technology needs to respond to a problem? look at MOST great music and you will find musicians using technology in unexpected ways to achieve their creative results!
Is it?
All technology is not equal, nor or all applications of technology mecessarily an improvement. Adding touch to my phone and putting little music gizmos on it was a huge addition to things I could do and places I could do them. But adding touch to my home DAW would actually slow me down and limit what I can currently do. Don’t fall into the “new is always better” trap. Sometimes it is, sometimes it’s worse.
Think of a touchscreen as an infinitely configurable controller.
Its not there to replace your monitor, but it can greatly enhance the workflow when done right.
For example, Hans Zimmer uses two custom touch screens in his studio, just below its main monitors.

This is the first major DAW to incorporate touch interface, no? I think that’s pretty significant. Props to cakewalk.
I would bet anything that there are Microsoft dollars behind this move. And it’s a pale comparison to Ableton Push, which is both cheaper than a touch capable monitor and far more expressive and versatile.
Right away I am going away to do my breakfast, after having my breakfast coming over again to read more news.
