Hello
Does it make sense to use a touch screen when editing - possibly also a stylus when drawing an edition?
Is a mouse and only a mouse better ?.
SL7 can be used with a touch screen : you can zoom and pan with finger gesture.
It also support stylus with pressure sensitivity for some tools. Note that support may vary depending on the stylus, platform (win/mac) and context (stand-alone/ARA).

just be aware that the wacom experience isn’t as good as it might be
Windows 10 - Studio One 5
Huion 1060Pro+ pen tablet
Had several issues with the Huion perhaps wrongly attributed the issues to SL just after installing SL.
Now got the Huion work good with an easy workaround in Stand-Alone and as ARA…
The multi-touch on SL7 on the same monitor as stand-lone works ok but as an ARA it has issues.
But on Mphaser the Multi-touch works fine.
I was thinking about this quite a lot today while brush selecting voice out of noise…a pen/ pencil ON SCREEN would be much less tedious than mouse work…so instead of creating a new post I dug up this zombie
I am using a Steel Series Rival 110 which works really well when set up “correctly”
Anyone here in the “modern” SL11 forum using touch screen for selections?
I don’t use ARA; I’m all standalone so that isn’t an issue for me personally…how is the support for say, brush tool?
wow! Nobody?!?
OK
Hey Todd buddy,
Just my two cents,
Recently I tried using a stylus and wacom tablet, for the same reasons you have pointed out here, but in the end I thought it wouldn’t work very well mainly because navigation suffered heavily for me. I always work with multiple monitors and that was a REAL pain when using a stylus. Also scrolling and moving around the material was much worse, and the cheap Wacom model I tried was a bit buggy, So I just abandoned the idea instead of trying a much more expensive tablet or screen.
I imagine with something like a Cintiq Pro or something of that class things would be much better, but that was beyond my budget and I thought I was procrastinating a bit already so I just got back to work.
But from what I remember the support for the toolsthemselves was great, and it was a much better experience that drawing stuff with a mouse/trackball. If it that was all there was to it, it would be worth it, but since multiple screens/navigation/stability were also factored in, it wasn’t worth persuing it for me.
YMMV

@henrique_staino hey, thanks for the response!
I worked in broadcast and sat with motion designers all using ton of the line Wacom setups and have used a cheap version at home years ago.
But I would think touchscreen would work great for brush tool selections…if the hardware/software cooperates…it would speed up my processes for sure…if it works well
thanks for sharing your experiences

I use a Huion screen GT 156. It actually works well with my drawing programs. I tried it out with the SL 11 pro brush tools, and that works well as well. This Huion doesn’t have two finger touch, which would make it better. Further refinement of the buttons on the Huion would make it even easier to navigate! Cheers!
