Re: Pro Tools | Dock vs. Digi 003 Console
Using Eucon simultanously with Digi003 will disable plugin control on Digi003. Not a good idea. I would just fix Digi003 and stay away from Eucon for as long as possible.

Re: Pro Tools | Dock vs. Digi 003 Console
It depends, I think. Digi 003 and Command 8 are very good fader controllers. But if your looking for Pad control buttons, fader lock and so on EuCon is not that bad. I like the Dock very much but am still wondering why my Artist Mix can't some things my rusty old Command 8 did 10 years ago...

Re: Pro Tools | Dock vs. Digi 003 Console
Quote:
•Dedicated advanced automation buttons while in ALT mode allow you to play Preview and Punch Preview during a pass. Very fast. •Track selection in big sessions is much faster with the PT|Control strip at the very top. Huge improvement in locating tracks in big sessions. Makes the single fader less of a handicap. •Putting plug-in parameters up on the knobs is always only two or three taps away. Much faster than the convoluted system I had before. Knobs are touch-sensitive (and unfortunately a little jumpy). But I'm making much better use of plug-ins with this easy access. And yes, it's faster than opening the plug-in with the mouse in big sessions. •Attentioning a track is pretty quick, so even though I miss having more faders, I get a lot of mileage out of that single fader. And for those times when you must grab a handful of faders, the iPad screen is not terrible. More manageable in Preview, but okay in Touch or Latch, too. •Dual-touch surround panning! Finally. And cheap. •I haven't really learned how to use the wheel yet for it's advanced functions, and I haven't programmed a single custom Soft Key or touch strip. More to come... So the Dock is better than I expected, and I'm finally at peace with EuCon. Thumbs up.

Re: Pro Tools | Dock vs. Digi 003 Console
Forgot one drawback:
•No flip-fader for sends. Kind of a drag. Hoping PT|Control will allow that on the screen in a future update.

Re: Pro Tools | Dock vs. Digi 003 Console
If you explore the possibilities of the wheel you will be even more excited... Have fun! The Dock is real good thing.
