Hey everyone,
I have a few question and comments about my new ProControl...
1) My faders "tilt". If you push down on the bottom half of a fader, you can raise the front end. Is this normal? The Neve Capricorn faders I know do this, but you can pull those right off.
2) Does the PC only see mix groups in the grouping section of the channel matrix? Or does it see all the groups?
3) How do you make a DSP section knob (a plugin parameter) go to its default setting? I figured it out with all the other sections of the PC, but not with the individual parameters.
Finally, a couple of comments.
-It would be nice to bring up the channels inserts/DSP editing from the channel matrix. If I can mute and solo from the matrix, why do I have to flip fader banks to access a channel's DSP?
-On that note, when you exit the DSP editing mode, the plugin window in PT should disappear. It's silly to exit DSP editing mode and then hit the plug-in window button, and then do it all over again when you want to get back to it. I'd like the PC to automatically free up the screen real estate. The HUI does this, btw.
-And furthermore, why can't I access the DSP editing AND the channel matrix at the same time? I know you need the channel matrix for flipping parameters, but you should be able to use the mutes/solos/select section of the matrix and still edit the single plugin page that you were previously working on. Obviously you can't flip pages until you hit the "param/pages" button in the matrix.
-It would be nice to use the channel matrix to select the 8, 16, or 24 channels you want to "see" in ProControl. Why should you have to look at the faders you don't ever use? Set and forget it for some, intensive work with others. PC and PT shouldn't be restrained to simply contiguous fader banks in groups of 8.
-It would be nice to have a command that automatically scrolls the edit/mix window screens to whatever 8/16 faders are "up" on the PC. I often find myself solely working on the PC for minutes at a time, but look back at the screen and have no idea where I am. It would be nice if the Mac screen could jump to PC. I know how you can do it in reverse in PT prefs, but I always have left that off because it gets in the way.
-And every ProControl should have smooth DSP editing knobs like mine. They are so much better than the safe-cracking business.... Digi should come up with a solution for an upgrade.
Finally, where can I get a dust cover for this beauty?
Thanks! Love my procontrol!
