...Pro Tools did not freak out when my 2 1/2 yr old son turned one off while a song was in playback. He had a nice surprise when he turned the unit back on, as the faders snap to the bottom, and quickly too... it was fun to watch him react. |

I checked out these controllers, but they are not very deep and the Mackie Controller Pro just looks more like an analog console to me. Not to mention the Mackie unit has 8 faders and with one extention unit you have 16. You have to spend more money on the Euphoix to get 16. A review on line said the display on the Euphonix was hard to read on them unless you were at a certain angle. Do you find that to be true? |

Hey Bruce...! He probably did that because he kept hearing..."children, we're starting..." |

When I was shopping for a control surface, I demoed the MC stuff alongside a C24 and a D-Command. Unfortunately the D-Command ruined my impression of the other two...I might have been impressed with the Euphonix if I had not tried the others... My impression of the MC: 1. I found the touchscreen difficult to read and not as inspiring or intuitive as I thought it would be. 2. This thing feels CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. My 4 year old has electronic toys that feel more substantial than the faders and rotary controllers on the MC. 3. The number of rotary controllers is limiting when it comes to things like plugin mapping. IMO the perfect controller would be something with the build quality and layout of the D-Command with the open architecture/multi platform nature of the Euphonix. It should have 24 faders, no mic pres, and come in just under 10k. |

i just got an MC control v2, an MC mix and a transport i replaced my mixed logic M24, which replaced an MCU and 2 xt's install was dead simple, and they work amazing in logic, the depth is incredible. i have recently switched from cubase to logic on my mac i can jump from logic to cubase to PT LE with out issue the HUI mode for PT LE is 512 and it actually covers a lot of ground with plugins etc so far i really like them. |

Hi Zack, Maybe if you compared the MC Control to other controllers IN ITS PRICE RANGE, you might find it is superior to the other products out there. I do find it unfair to compare two products, no matter what they are, when their price points are that far apart, 1500US to almost 10kUS for the C|24 and over 16KUs for the base 8 fader D Command. That's 6.6 times and 10.6 times more expensive tan the MC Control. Maybe compare it to the Mackie Control Universal Pro, which it directly competes with? I am waiting until I can afford an ICON. Until then I'm "stuck" with the Euphonix MC products, which for my current situation are perfect. And no, I do not go and compare these two products as they are very different. Cheers |

Anyone heard anything regarding EuCon and Pro Tools. Since the Avid buyout I expected this to be a priority but so far not a mumble. |

Hi guys I have this units in one of the studios I'm in charge. This units have been here for 2 years now. Like it was referred, it looks cheap compared to D-command/control and C24, and honestly it has been giving us some nightmares! Pros: - They've been really fast doing support on it (sending it back receiving it in a couple of days). - you dont have to use the mouse? - surround panner on screen Cons: - Since we rely heavily on network access, we had to set up a smaller network just for these two. still, they manage to loose IP and etc. Really frustrating to have to run to the studio and reboot the small ethernet "boxy" we use (I get told off by our IT guy as I always get router and switch confused :S) - they are slow responding! The touch screen specially @Nick which firmware/drivers are you using? I'm also running PT HD here. - We have loads of problems involved people reaching a fader and there is some abrupt automation and actually forcing the button (pretty much like audio2u son). cheers j |
