Easy to set up Video mixing with Cue LE! Highly portable USB- or PSU-powered Lots of controls…
But the controls are cramped! Feels flimsy Bundled software is limited No audio interface
While Total Control has some annoying deficiencies, its basic functionality is sound enough, if you can live with the limitations.
