Control Surface For Protools 10 Mackie Pro Control or Avid Artist Control
Just want your honest opinion. I just have a bad experience with the Artist Control and I don't know how reliable could be the Artist Control series down the road.
Also can the HUI protocol will be alive for long enough for the Mackie Pro Control to be competitive? Thanks |

I was fortunate to happen up on a slightly used Euphonix mix controller a few months ago at the local Samash store.
I was able to talk the guy down to $599 - a little less than half off :) BUT . . . i've really had a time with the unit being recognized when I first boot up. I have determined that if my air wi-fi is on it will generate a conflict / error message every time. Then I have to open the euphonic software and select the controller manually from the available list - - every time. The only time that the controller is automatically recognized on boot up is if the wi-fi router is down. Can't seem to find any solution for that issue either. Other than that it seems to work pretty well with PT-10HD. |

I would go with the Artist Series, can take a bit of setting up, but it's the best way to future proof IMHO

I will never go back with the Artist Control and here is all the problems that I have and as today date I'm still waiting from Avis support to help me.
http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=321985 I dont know about a bit of setting up, but a month full of problems if enough. After talk with 2 others studio owners they also had so many issues before but never something similar to mine. Its enough for me. |

One wonders after years of threads like this when Avid is going to step up to the plate and release something dependable for the what is supposed to be a world standard in Pro Tools. It amazes me how many problems these units have had with no new solution from the company.
Threads like this are the reason I haven't bought one. TH |

I have an Omni with HD Native.
Can that Project mix be used without using it as an interface? |
Re: Control Surface For Protools 10 Mackie Pro Control or Avid Artist Control
Avid artist control is 100x better then any mackie based controller. You can program buttons to it that only icons have had up until now for about 25000 dollars less.
