Check em out, ready to mix:

I scored these two as scratch and dent deals on MusiciansFriend.com for $161 each (including shipping, no tax).  I was worried that they wouldn’t play nicely with ProTools, but it turns out that they do a great job working with the software.  Expect a forthcoming full review, but for now, I’ll just say that I really, REALLY like faders.

Also, I was not able to find anywhere on the internet that could confirm if you could use multiple units at the same time with Pro Tools.  Well, I’m here to tell you that you can.  I probably could have hooked up a THIRD one of these if I wanted to.  You just set up each one in the Setup->Peripherals menu in Pro Tools (use the baby HUI emulation) and they work like a charm.  Shifting through the banks works as expected and everything.  Spiffy.  This should make my mixes better.
