anyone using graphics tablet for audio apps?

hi
I make music using logic mainly. But also use other programmes.
And just generally heavy computer user, graphics apps, internet.

I get pain in arms and wrists from computers, trackball mice have helped.
But now looking into a tablet like the ones on WACOM website.
Seems great for graphicy apps and for drawing/painting...

Just wondering if these kind of tablets are good with music audio apps too, like logic, pro tools, reason, ableton, and basically just generally replacing the trackpad and mouse to use computer.

anyone got any experience of tablets in these situations???

recommendations?

thankyou.

thanks to everyone

i couldnt wait, ordered a wacom last night. it sounds and looks like a miracle.
i need to try it.

at least i know its regarded as compulsory to use for graphics apps, so ill use with that definately.
And just seems like a giant trackpad like the one on macbooks, but you can use it with pc deskops, so that sounds awsome.

to all the mouse users. be careful. they can damage your health.
the standard computer design is a hazard.
it needs a complete new re design i feel. things are getting better slowly though.
trackballs, trackpads, pens, ergonomic equipment.....but i guess if you do anything alot, it will wear something down.

wii controller? that sounds nuts! i think ill pass on that, thanks though.
mmm maybe ill look into that later..

yeah i guess there are specialist controller surfaces for audio apps with faders and all that, bit too expensive though, and bulky. i have a midi controller which im learning so that a nice way of working too with music apps. midi assigning controllers is also a steep learning curve!!

havnt used my tablet with audio apps yet, but its gonna be very very nice.

im using the pen instead of the mouse or trackpad.

using the trackpad on the tablet with fingers (like a macbook trackpad) is quite awkward and alot hand and finger movement required, not good for RSI etc.

using the pen to navigate and use as the pointer, is by far the easiest way ive yet come across to use computer. Theres also left and right clicks on the pen.

no need to use mouse, ever.

wish the tablet had arrow keys on it....that would be nice.

now i can be on computer for HOURS, with no pain.

highly recommended.

cheers.
