Just sold our D-Control. :) Had it since they came out. Used it a lot at the beginning but in the end, we were basically using it for faders and pans. Clunky, acoustically intrusive and i can't recall ever using the upper knobs. You had to lean over just like on an SSL, except there was nothing you couldn't do with the lower knobs. I feel the D-Command was a much better design. Digi was trying to make the D-Control the size of an SSL, which they achieved, it looked good but i was frankly relieved to get it out of the room.

Back on topic, Console 1 really does encourage you to mix with your ears. Everything is just there, not much thinking to do, no mapping, acoustically unobtrusive and has all the control you need on a channel strip. Again, if Avid played nice with C1 i'd be a very happy camper. Would even consider an S3 for spillage, VCAs etc., but at this point i'm considering other options... maybe S1 and (shudder) a monster PC as Apple seems to have dropped the ball. Do love PT as a DAW though... so we'll see. Meantime, fingers crossed.

Avid isn't going to start giving away their hardware controller business to let Console 1 in.

And Softube isn't going to give away their Console 1 sales to allow Avid controllers to operate their plugins.

This is why this is a dead-end petition.
There's little to no crossover between Console 1 and any existing avid products. It's just a plugin controller, that's it. No need for Eucon. Pro Tools just needs to allow it to get track number information, like every other daw.

Then it would compliment Avid's products, like the artist mix. Select a track on your artist mix, instantly have your channel strip controls for that track appear on your Console 1.

The only thing they're doing by not allowing this is pushing users to other daws.

Eucon is a plugin controller. That's your overlap. As in all of it. 100% overlap.
The Dock/iPad app and the S6 all have plugin control sections as does the S3 and Artist for throwing things to knobs and faders. I really don't understand how this can be missed. Avid isn't going to open up to lose sales.

If the Softube plugins are how people buy/choose which DAW to use, that's pretty wonky unto itself.

They have been doing that for years.
And yes i agreee with the above post, direct overlap...especially for the dock -

-

What would however be nice would be a unified standard for all plugins....

This would allow for unified mapping across all OEM controllers with less work by both the OEM and the controller OEM.

Now that would be cool

Eucon is a control protocol, and sure, controlling parameters of various plugins is a part of that. Console 1 is just a midi controller that controls a specific plugin, one that runs on their platform.

Avid makes and sells plugins as well, but I guess by your logic they shouldn't allow third party plugins in Pro Tools either, as it could open them up to losing sales.

I don't see which Avid products would be in direct competition with Console 1 but I can definitely see how allowing it to be used alongside Pro Tools (to the extent all other daw manufacturers do) would be of benefit to them and encourage sales.

But hey, what do I know. I've switched to mainly using Studio One after 12 years of Pro Tools specifically because of Console 1 integration, so I must be pretty wonky.

Good points are being made, but i tend to agree with you. I'm on PT Ultimate HDX, have been a PT user since they went 24 bit and i'm also familiar with Studio One and Console 1. If PT played nice with C1 i wouldn't think of migrating but as is, i'm waiting to see if the new Mac Pros allow you to do away with HDX. I like Console 1 that much. I do agree that Avid has more to gain than to lose by allowing C1 follow channels automatically.
