Frontier Design AlphaTrack (No Longer Available)Item ID: AlphaTrackUSB DAW Control Surface with 100mm Touch-sensitive Fader, 3 Encoders, and 22 Assignable Knobs Sorry, the Frontier Design AlphaTrack is no longer available. We've left this page up for reference only. Check out the great alternatives on this page or call toll-free (800) 222-4700 to speak with a Sweetwater Sales Engineer about similar products. From Our Research Team:Powerful, Compact Mix Control!Why be stuck with just a keyboard and mouse when AlphaTrack gives you much more control over your mix? AlphaTrack combines a set of intuitive tactile controls in a compact and attractive package. Now you can ride a high-resolution fader, turn real knobs, scroll and shuttle with the touch of your fingers, all with a control surface that fits your desktop and the way you work. AlphaTrack lets you work more productively and creatively without giving up a lot of desktop space.Frontier Design AlphaTrack at a Glance:
100mm touch-sensitive fader with 10-bit resolution AlphaTrack includes a 100mm, touch-sensitive, motorized fader which provides true 10-bit resolution for smooth and precise level control. AlphaTrack also has three touch-sensitive encoders, a feature previously found only on high-end gear costing thousands of dollars. These let you adjust track and plug-in parameters while the 32-character backlit display shows detailed feedback in response to your touch. The encoders provide quick control of pans, sends, EQ, plug-ins, and automation. Unique jog and shuttle strip One of AlphaTrack's unique innovations is its touch-sensitive jog and shuttle strip. Slide one finger across its surface and your project's timeline scrolls in response. Drop a second finger onto the strip, and now your fingers control the timeline's shuttle speed. Zoom through your project with two fingers, then just lift one finger and slide to quickly set the precise position you want. And you can also just tap on the left or right ends of the strip to navigate through your project's markers! 22 customizable buttons AlphaTrack also has a set of 22 buttons and 21 LEDs, including standard transport controls, per track record, solo, mute, and automation indication, and encoder mode control. When supported by the computer application, a set of buttons can also be customized with user-programmable functions. Simple USB computer connection AlphaTrack connects to your computer using just a single USB cable. This makes it portable, easy to connect, and compatible with laptops since no additional power supply is needed. AlphaTrack's back panel also includes a footswitch jack for easy punch-in recording. AlphaTrack works on Windows XP and Mac OS X (including Intel Macs). Frontier Design AlphaTrack Features:

January 11, 2011 Music Background: Recording Engineer Best DAW controller one could have
by Sean S. from Tampa, FL USA
It DOES work with Pro Tool 8. However, a bit pain in the butt to get working with Windows 7/Vista for PT 8, but it DOES work.
June 26, 2009 Music Background: Mixing Specialist Being able to control any fader (including master/aux/send fa... read more [+]ders) at one finger tips keeps the creative flow going. Plus, it makes mixing FUN again vs mouse/keyboard only. Can even use it with MOST plugins, such as eq's, compressors, and reverbs. Only thing I haven't seemed to figure out is the IN/OUT buttons for marking punch in and out areas. Having a separate stop/play transport that's NOT on my keyboard is essential for my particular workflow. The ability to solo tracks/rec arm them is a nice thing as well. 2 small cons... -Fader doesn't feel like D-command or ICON fader. (but that's OK for me as if I wanted that, I'd by a D-command) -pain of Vista/W7 & PT8 combination can drive a newbie mad at first. Frontier Designs are aware of the issue, but are awaiting response back from Digi to better support. If you need/want a small daw controller, this is IT. 1 cable, no hassle. close [-] Best $200 bucks I've spent in my studio
by Jim Vaughn from Tiki Room Studios, Reno Nevada
This handy little device makes computer recording, well, not so much like computer recording. Less mouse more mixing!
February 5, 2009 Music Background: Engineer, Musician The perfect small studio control surface
by Patrick B from Michigan
The alphatrack has most of the functions that one mixing in the box would need. The transport control section is well designed with all of the typical buttons used to navigate through a project.

( They even function as buttons) Finally the fader section is perfect for writing automation and its motorized action is touch sensitive just like a large format console. All of these features as well as several function keys help to make for an excellent controll surface. close [-]
