Can I use a Wacom DRAWING Tablet for anything DAW wise?

[Drew Stephenson]

I used to use mine quite a bit (I've never been a fan of mice) but it has quite a small drawing area and when I got a second screen on my system it just stopped being practical. I keep thinking about getting a bigger tablet but ultimately there are better things I could spend my money on.

I used a Wacom pad as my primary means of navigation for several years.

much easier on the hands vs a mouse.

Currently using a Magic Trackpad with my Macbook Pro.

you can set them up to work more like a mouse…… and various key commands can be mapped to any extra buttons (i ted to use an Xtra large Bamboo Wacom tablet for Cad/Cam, Jack used to use one for Protools some time back, not sure he still has any treason to do so….. I gave mine to my daughter while she was doing art A level….. as I still found a mouse or track pad quicker and more capable of precision

some people find them more comfortable and less aggravating for RSI / carpal tunnel issues, (not me however, i find it too annoying to get on with….. )

My wife had a tablet that wasn't getting much use and I investigated using it as an XY controller. There are a few utilities that you can use to transmit midi but I don't have the bookmarks on my phone.

I know there definitely are audio applications for Wacom tablets - they can be integrated into a kyma system
