D-Command replacement
Hi all!
Question for the D-Command users here. When and if the time comes to replace your D-Command, what would replace it with? Seems like there is no current lateral move offered by Avid. S3 is clearly a step down and the S6 is an expensive step up. |
Re: D-Command replacement
I am in the same boat here.
The s6 M10 is the natural upgrade path for d command users, but the lack of tft's or screens are why the upgrade to S6 m40 is the more desirable and more expensive. |

When I looked at moving from a C|24 to the S3 two years ago, I felt the S3 was a significant downgrade in many respects. I haven't followed how the S3 has developed since though. |

Wonderful informative post Marsdy.
The problem I don't like about that upgrade path is Eucon....it's another level of software that has bugs and has to have Avid troubleshoot and fix. That comment should read as "Eternal Subscription plan required". Think about the simple request of the the velocity settings of the rotary encoders for the artist series surfaces Digidesign Icons could be parked tomorrow and work great as is...i don't know if Eucon will ever that stable and bug free....or how long it will take to get there. |

Marsdy,
Does the S6 require its own yearly plan in addition to your PT plan? Or does your PT plan cover S6 updates? thanks. |

A plan for a 24 fader fully loaded M10 is £1749 per year ex-tax including module swap out and the Xmon. Overpriced IMO but that's Avid! EDIT: Forgot to say - These prices are what I paid in the UK as of January this year. |
