Kevin is exactly right for example the Mackie unit we have can be purchased for six or $800. You can get a brand-new one for around US$1000. If you are in thought of even moving to logic it will work great with logic Pro X. They say the artist things will work as well but that is a very huge

FYI: not true... Before kicking the Avid products, one needs to own and work with it for a while, and the future is far reaching beyond the project studio using the EuCon protocol. The Mackie Control protocol and HUI protocol have a finite life expectancy and are slowly being fazed out in the

Those were my thoughts as well Kevin. I would like to get up with you by phone and pick your brain on the Mackie. I am having great success with it and logic and doing even better and Protools. I can live without flip and Protools. Ricky Prevatte LMBT1154 > On Feb 17, 2016, at 7:19 AM, Kevin

What features are you looking for in a control surface? This might help us pin down what you should look into. I just feel that the avid stuff is incredibly expensive, and there are cheaper options out there that will do the trick, even if they aren't taking full advantage of the latest

Hi Kevin, I understand what you say. I am unfortunately to new in this stuff to discuss it proper and thats a shame, because to little knollidge is always no fun. I have to lean on people who are already working with control services in the feeld and although you may be right, I have to buy

No. Eucon is not an open protocol. It will work with logic, etc, but the rest of the world uses Mackie Control or some variant. Unfortunately, Avid never updated the Mackie protocol in Pro Tools, so it is still using HUI, which is more limited. In a sense, the Mackie Control Pro board that

Hi Kevin, Its the avid s3 i wanna have, the s6 is far to expensive for me smiley. But, aint it a fact that all control services now adays work with the same protocol? Thats what I thought when it comes to 1 service for many apps, logic ProTools etc. If you wanna send me off list, I would realy

I wrote a huge message about why I hate Avids new artist line of control surfaces. If I'm not mistaken, the s6 is included in that artist line, using the Eucon protocol. I'll give you the readers digest version below. Firstly, I hate the Eucon protocol. In my opinion, it runs completely in

Hi Ronald, The confusion had a reason. I googled yesterday on the s1 and the first result was the artist mix. And since there seems to be also an s5 of artist, I thought that i was reasonable to think, all was called S in its line. I saw a new artist mix here for 1100 euro's that's indeed a firm

Ah well, now its clear. You are confusing the S models with the lower Artist Series. Of course do the Artist Series exist, but these don’t have audio interfaces. Price of the S3 is about 4 times higher. Ronald > Op 17 feb. 2016, om 07:18 heeft Egbert Mulder het > volgende

Hi Mac. Did Pino post any videos or tutorials about the control surfaces? I’ve never seen the S3 before. Slau told me Sean is the only person on this list so far that’s used the S3 control surface. Is this pretty accessible with Voiceover? Thanks. Katie > On Feb 16, 2016, at 11:47 AM, Egbert
