Pro tools control surface ebay

From track names, parameter values, and automation, to S6-style monitoring, metering, and channel processing views, you get the comprehensive feedback of a high-end console in a versatile surface for the budget-minded. As well a four S1s, which clip together with magnets, you can also connect the Pro Tools Dock to the Avid S1 to add dedicated transport controls, a jog wheel, another fader, and more under your fingertips.

In a world exclusive, Post Production Expert Alan Sallabank, who had been beta testing the new Avid S1 control surface, together with the new Avid Control app, now available on iOS, Android and Amazon Fire, from prototype to production pilot, shares his experiences and observations in this very special review.

If the Avid S1 is outside of your budget then you can look at control surfaces like the Faderport 8 from Presonus or the budget range of iCon Pro Audio control surfaces. PreSonus announced the FaderPort 8 back in September Faderport 8 includes 8 touch-sensitive, motorized, mm faders and 57 buttons covering 78 different functions.

You can quickly zoom in on audio files for editing, adjust your click-track tempo with a simple tap, modify plug-in parameters, manage aux mixes—and, of course, control track levels with the touch of a finger.

Faderport 8 offers 3 working modes to try and cover as many DAWs as possible;. Native mode for Studio One - this offers the most complete user experience with some very nice tricks up its sleeve. Check out our two reviews of the FaderPort 8. We have one that covers using the control surface with Studio One and a second article showing how well it works with Pro Tools. Has iCON managed to make compromises to produce a compact control surface in the right places?

The QCon Pro G2 comes with nine motorized faders, eight multi-purpose push encoders, 78 buttons, jog shuttle wheel, and two foot-pedal connectors.

For the extra investment, you get slightly more bang for your buck. Each fader gets its own pan encoder which is a nice touch pun intended. It can be a slight drag having to select the channel you want to adjust the pan as you need to on the FaderPort 8. The X-Touch features quite a few more buttons, though we have read several reports from users in forums about X-Touch compatibility issues with Pro Tools, which is well worth investigating for yourself if you are considering one of these devices.

We have had a brief play with one of these. The faders feel nice and responsive under the finger and buttons feel satisfying to press and are well placed for easy access. What sets the X-Touch apart from some of the other control surfaces in this list its main counter display.

The Mackie MCU is a popular control surface. What makes the MCU so popular is its simple modular design. The most expensive part of this system is the main MCU Pro unit, the extender units are far less in comparison though the overall price of a large 16 fader modular system with encoder unit feels a bit pricey for what it is but a fully loaded Mackie control setup does look mighty fine…. They are large multi-touch displays, which respond to finger touches and gestures similar to how we interact with tablet devices and smartphones which makes RAVEN displays incredibly intuitive to operate upon first use.

The multi-touch abilities kind of play second fiddle to the smart batch command system, which makes long-winded processes such as exporting stems in Pro Tools as simple as clicking a virtual button in the RAVEN command.

Slate has clearly reimagined what the control surface user experience should be for the future and with the RAVEN software 3. See all 15 brand new listings. Buy It Now.
