Default Re: ICON D ? Is this the new controller?
A Pro Tools "studio" (HD and ICON) will still never be able to compete with the studio that has a (large format) analog console (SSL, API, Neve, Trident...), a 2" tape machine, quality outboard gear and Pro Tools. Just like Pro Control and Control24 never replaced analog boards in studios, ICON will fail to do the same. ICON's market is in post-pro mixing. I can see it selling well there.

ICON will never compete with an analog studio.
The same plugins and editing that can be used and performed with ICON can also be used and performed by some kid at home on their LE system. That's the difference; there is none!
