Re: good remote control surfaces

2014-09-16 Thread Stefan Albertshauser
Hi,

You have three units: The first is the Artist Mix, which has 8 motorized 
faders, 8 rotary knobs and the common controls on a channel strip; Solo, mute, 
record enable and select, all per track. The second is the artist transport, 
which is a transport controller with a jog wheel, a shuttle ring, a numeric key 
pad and transport controls. The third is the artist control with 4 faders and a 
touch screen. They are connected via ethernet and you can connect up to 4 
artist mix and an artist transport to one system. 
That's all, I know.

 Best
Stefan

Re: good remote control surfaces

2014-09-16 Thread Kevin Reeves
Here are my thoughts on the Artist series. This is my 2 cents, and everyone's 
workflow is different. Your mileage may very.

I trained 2 clients on the artist series and didn't like them for a few reasons.

1. Design:
I don't like the fact that connecting 2 devices, IE, the fader pack or 
transport control requires a power brick for each.
They could have developed a power passthrough system where an interconnected 
cable from the main fader pack to the accessory could have powered it.
Plus, the transport doesn't have any motors in it. There should be no need for 
a brick.
They should give you the option to power the device from the wall or 
interconnect it. For example, if you only want to use the transport controller, 
you could plug it into the wall. If you are using it with the main fader pack, 
you should have the option to interconnect.

2. Networking.
I didn't like the fact that a network switch was required just to get both of 
these machines up and running.
I understand that many studios run on networked machines and this is the ideal 
setup for that. However, I wish they would have shipped with a USB port on each 
of them for those of us who didn't want to use ethernet.
Also, they could have developed some interconnect method so that both devices 
could be connected together via an ethernet cable. I do understand that each 
device needs a separate IP Address. How hard is it to insert a second ethernet 
jack with the ability to act as a 1 port switch?
3. Eucon Control Panel.
While this is fully accessible and easy to use, I didn't like the idea of a 
separate program having to run just to get these devices to work.
Pro Tools is a platform built on an industry whose sole aim in life when trying 
to record is remaining streamlined. Any variable that is introduced into the 
system has the potential to destabilize it.
In short, this should have been further integrated into Pro Tools.
I load the control panel if I want to make changes to button assignments. I 
shouldn't have to keep it loaded for the controllers to work.
I've seen these eucon control applications crash a bunch, even on the sweet 
water machine when it was being demonstrated.

Again, this is my 2 cents. I like things streamlined, somewhat mobile. These 
devices are built incredibly streamlined and mobile, however, the methods for 
connecting them to power and each other are not so much.

Hope this helps.

Kevin

The Artist series consists of a few different surfaces. I can't recall the

obviously have its limitations. Anyway, again, not sure about specifics but 
it's worth looking into. Perhaps Jason can chime in.

You can use them separately.

For the money, I recommend the Mackie Control Universal Pro.

It's got everything you need for controlling Pro Tools, Logic, Cakewalk, 
Reaper, and others.

It runs for about 11 hundred, but is seriously a better bang for the buck.

Mackie has been in this space for over 10 years, and these controllers are 
build rock solid.

Re: good remote control surfaces

2014-09-16 Thread Slau Halatyn
Having both a series of track control strips (faders, solo, mute, record 
buttons, etc.) is useful for working faster. For precise editing, a scrub wheel 
is indispensable. Having everything in one package, as Kevin suggested, is, of 
course, the most desirable option. Having the option to use a surface with 
other DAWs may or may not be a consideration for you. With the Avid surfaces, 
the Pro Tools integration is more immediate and consistent but, with no support 
for other platforms, there's a price for that seamless operation. I'm glad 
Kevin mentioned the aesthetics of the Artist system with the power bricks and 
network switcher. I agree they could've made it a little more elegant. That's 
too bad. That said, to me, for those only working with Pro Tools, the most 
flexible option currently available, especially when using a separate audio 
interface, seems to be the Artist series. As mentioned, naturally, your mileage 
may vary and I'm only adding my two cents to Kevin's and now we're a penny shy 
of a nickel.

That's awesome, very nice.  I'm assuming it has a scrub wheel and 
everything?  I'm just trying to get specific model numbers down and 
everything, just cause it's kind of important when it comes to 
accessibility.  Mackie has always made some outstanding stuff, it's amazing.
I've worked with their consoles, and you can't kill them in all honesty. 
 So you think this mackie console will work well for doing radio 
production?  You can bounce stuff from track to track, define edit 
points, stuff like that?

Re: [Bulk] Re: Having an odd problem with my Digi003

2014-09-16 Thread Eric Lambier
Hi Krister

I had a similar problem where the digi 003 buttons were triggering my sounds in 
plug-ins such as superior drummer, trillion etc. This is what I did to fix my 
problem. Not sure if it'll work for yours but give it a try and see.

Go to menu, control-option-M
Arrow right to set up
Arrow down to midi sub menu
arrow right and go to the bottom of four items
The bottom one will be imput devices, hit enter.
You'll then have two choices of checking or unchecking. the first is port 1 and 
the latter is port 3.
Uncheck port 3 and then arrow down to ok.
This fixed my problem. If it doesn't fix yours you can repeat the above steps 
and recheck port 3.
Hope this helps!

Let me know if that worked.

 Hi Krister,
 
 Like many of the people who came before you down this path of learning 
 and discovery, you're probably going to have to have sighted assistance 
 from time to time to verify the behavior that you're experiencing. While 
 you have that assistance, you'll have to experiment and learn the 
 behavior that is specific to your system, your setup, etc. Yes, there 
 are certain things that translate easily from user to user but, 
 ultimately, everybody's situation can be a little different and it is 
 precisely there that one little tiny thing can make all the difference 
 in the world. Don't be discouraged, you can experiment on your own but 
 it's likely that you will run into obstacles you won't understand 
 without some sighted confirmation. It's good to go it alone to learn 
 where the problem areas occur and then get a little help to identify 
 exactly what's going on, document it and tackle things a little bit at a 
 time.
 
 Best,

Oh wow, I didn't know 11.4 is now out.  I need to figure out how to get 
ahold of it, provided that they didn't break much with accessibility, which 
I highly doubt they did.

Re: [Bulk] Having an odd problem with my Digi003

2014-09-16 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi, this fixed the problem partly. No sounds were triggered in the midi plugin, 
however, parameters couldn't be changed in the plugin using the 003, so i'm 
basically back to square one. The strange thing with all this is that in for 
example Arturia Cs80V i don't have any problems with sounds being triggerd, 
however in Arturia Jupiter8v the problem is there. Likewise in Addictive drums, 
the problem is there but in Addictive keys Electric grand it's not there. It's 
odd and as i think i said before, all the people in the different music stores 
that i've spoken to are just as confused as i am.

 Hi Krister
 
 I had a similar problem where the digi 003 buttons were triggering my sounds 
 in plug-ins such as superior drummer, trillion etc. This is what I did to fix 
 my problem. Not sure if it'll work for yours but give it a try and see.
 
 Go to menu, control-option-M
 Arrow right to set up
 Arrow down to midi sub menu
 arrow right and go to the bottom of four items
 The bottom one will be imput devices, hit enter.
 You'll then have two choices of checking or unchecking. the first is port 1 
 and the latter is port 3.
 Uncheck port 3 and then arrow down to ok.
 This fixed my problem. If it doesn't fix yours you can repeat the above steps 
 and recheck port 3.
 Hope this helps!
 
 Let me know if that worked.

 Hi Krister,
 
 I understand that everybody's situation is unique. You must also understand 
 that there are some things that are simply not possible without some sighted 
 assistance at some point. I take your response at face value just as you 
 should take mine. It's a plain and sometimes cold truth. Some things you'll 
 just have to do when you have the opportunity to sit with somebody to go 
 over some stuff. In the mean time, if anybody on the list can help 
 otherwise, i'm sure people are more than willing to help with whatever they 
 can. Don't lose hope.
 
 cheers,

 Hi, One thing that I did when I got my digi 003 was to talk to the sales 
 manager at the store who helpt me order it on line and get it sent to my 
 house.  They explained that they could provide some assistive support such 
 as installation help and some troubleshooting.  I would suggest if you have 
 a local electronic store that sells pro audio products you contact them and 
 explain what is going on and also tell them you are totally blind and you 
 need sited help with some tasks.  They might be able to remote into your 
 computer to take a look at the problem or you could ask if one of the sales 
 people could come out to your location to do some troubleshooting.  I would 
 also suggest you call Avid support as they are very good at small things 
 and have helpt me out even when I did not buy a support contract if it is 
 just a small issue as they can remote into your mac with your permition of

Big +1 for the Mackie Universal. I've dabbled with plenty of the
smaller surfaces and imitation options, but always end up coming back
to the Mackie, and it always works when I do.

 You can use them separately.

 For the money, I recommend the Mackie Control Universal Pro.

 It's got everything you need for controlling Pro Tools, Logic, Cakewalk,
 Reaper, and others.

 It runs for about 11 hundred, but is seriously a better bang for the buck.

 Mackie has been in this space for over 10 years, and these controllers are
 build rock solid.

Re: good remote control surfaces

That's awesome, you've pretty much sold me on it.  I just talked to the 
guys at Sweetwater, and they suggested it as well.
I'd like to talk to you more about the Mackie, just to get a general 
layout of it to go voer some stuff if that's cool.  Protools is going to 
be new to me, but i'm really excited about jumping in.
