rather than spend 180 quid on one device with a bloody stupid knob on the top of it, better go with more or just get the tapco and save up for a decent control surface.

Yeah thats pretty cool. Only problem is my Laptop only has a tiny 1394 port. I really was aiming for a USB card to be honest.

Is it possible to use more than one control surface at the same time in Live?

For example, I could use my Oxygen 8 to trigger loops and control track volume etc, and then have another control surface (like the M-Audio one above) to be used exclusively for mixing between tracks. Anyone tried this?

the only limit would be the amount of usb ports / midi ports in your setup

Yep.

I've had an Ecler Nuo DJ mixer and a Behringer controller both controlling Live at the same time with no problems.

That shouldn't make any difference.

The only limitation of the smaller port is that it can't supply power to the device, but you probably don't want to be putting that kind of strain on your laptop anyway.
