Re: Snapshots

All that said, I'd point out a few side notes: 1. Many of the pro customers who are indie's and travel from facility to facility don't have or take the time to build and deal with Custom Faders. They typically rely on CF VCA's to navigate large sessions. (That's why I mentioned the VCA Spill workflow earlier and it's on the map). 2. The new Matrix mode allows for fast and easy navigation - you really have to sit and see it in person. Many people have reacted with great surprise at it. Danny Caccavo from Skywalker said this weekend at AES that he was "really impressed and positively surprised". I will be posting some of those interviews soon. 3. The track color coding below the faders and on the meter bridge really also help with navigation and setting up/managing big sessions. 4. Many ICON customers have reacted incredibly positively to S6 when they see it and get the demo - again, I will be posting their reactions soon. 5. We've also said that we want to support an 'exploded plug-in' view on the knob modules - that essentially will borrow the entire knob module to get to 32 color-coded parameters of a plug-in. (Again, on the roadmap). 6. As a point of reference, when ICON came out - it too was missing some user requested functionality and was developed over time, (roughly one release a year). We are prioritizing features and will have a team of engineers working towards multiple releases in the coming year. Thanks, Tom

Re: Snapshots
With ICON, I could have custom faders show up on the console even if they're hidden in the session. I'm not able to do this with EuCon. Are you doing something differently than I am?

Great! I'm glad I was wrong!

Re: Snapshots
No. What I do is have a layout set up for day dialogue and a track show hide marker for all my dialogue tracks. So when I hit the dx button, all my dx tracks show up and populate the controller exactly as I want them to. That's how I organize sessions. Really is super fast once it's set up.

Re: Snapshots
Thanks for the response Tom.
Glad to hear VCA spill workflows are on the roadmap. As you say, many freelance mixers don't have the training or time or inclination to use the ICON custom fader functions to their fullest potential, however I'm pretty sure most of them would use custom fader plugin view to operate denoising plugins like W43, WNS, Cedar or the new Izotope DxDenoiser? We do over here. Are you saying that on the S6 those sorts of plugin parameters are likely to only be available on pots for the foreseeable future? Surely we aren't going to lose the ability to access plugin parameters from faders when mixing ITB? And how easy/quick is it to store/make/recall layouts from the surface? |

Re: Snapshots
Hi Brent,
Hope you're well! Just to follow on from Toms comments, S6 will take many of the features from S-5 and Icon and make improvements where possible, leveraging the hardware interface improvements such as hi-res OLED encoder displays, central touchscreen, channel display modules etc. I can't directly discuss our plans or timing for unreleased features but will say we are well aware of the Icon functionality you list and have plans for implementing similar features on S6 but with improvements. I'm not sure if you've seen how layouts are created on the surface of an S-5 but it is very fast like building CF Groups on Icon. Each layout allows you to mix and match tracks from any connected workstations, and assign them to any part of the surface (not just tracks from one DAW assigned only to the CF zone). So I could have a layout that brings VCA masters from multiple DAWs to the right side of my console while another layout brings the source tracks from a pre-dub to another part of the desk. Music guys could build layouts that include Logic tracks and PT tracks assigned to selected channels on the surface. And S6 will allow you to create them much more quickly from the tracks matrix page on the touchscreen. Hang in there - we have some great stuff in store for this console, we just couldn't get it all coded for the initial software release which we are currently demoing.

Re: Snapshots
I don't know how I missed it, but even Artist Control has memory of 48 snapshots. So S6 will most definetly have it.

Re: Snapshots
I got hands on an S6 yesterday .
Nice. . But, lot's of my questions met with "that's coming in the next update" . Sad to see that, like my little Artist Mix at home, the mix window in PT STILL doesn't follow the banking on the surface . Hhhmm…
