    • Well, as we get older, certain parts of the body start to droop, sag, and loosen. It used to be that we required plastic surgery to “enhance” our body parts to mitigate or even reverse signs of aging. Now, we have Davinci Resolve.

    • @@alexrozerotkirkwood7042 Main point of a control surface is to face time from having to use the mouse. With a micro panel, you don't have enough access to most of the common tools and you will be leaning towards using a mouse thus hindering your flow. I would invest in a Wacom Intuos pro to replace a mouse.
