Re: CanI have an S4 Please?!
Quote:
What I want is the maximum amount of workflow in the least amount of space, in this sense the s6 design is winner, and having to have a half empty frame is a real loser. The d-command + 16ch expander was a better design. I would say we are waiting for artist series 2, but the drag there is the S6 parts look like they would be worth the cash to me. Faders next to quality meters is so overdue in the controller market it's painful, and integration of a good touchscreen AND hardware to me is the way forward. The shame here is Avid could save themselves a bundle in R&D costs and just make the S6 the answer for the mid and high end markets. Even the config lifer is asking for there wouldn't be cheap, but it would (assuming) be very high quality. And the post guys need the big multi-op setups anyway. I just don't see what they have to lose, but what do I know... |

Re: CanI have an S4 Please?!
You can build the modules in a desk without a chassis/frame. The small unit we showed at IBC and AES was exactly that: very small and ergonomic. I suspect several people will design a curved layout on a desk as well...

S6 is gorgeous.... My old MC Control just not in the same ballpark at all

The X-Mon is optional for the M40 systems. Currently, the minimum config for either M10 or M40 systems is the 8 Fader, process, 5 knob with master section. Here's a photo of the M40 16 fader system built into a custom AKA desk:

Re: Can I have an S4 Please?!
Tom...
That looks way sharp! I will be really interested in seeing it once all the pieces are released... And while we're on the topic of "pieces" and "XMON", a question, if I may... On this page: http://www.avid.com/US/products/Avid...res#tech-specs reference is made to XMON S6 monitoring system. Is the XMON S6 different from the Icon XMON units, or is it just a name-game?

Re: Can I have an S4 Please?!
Looks really nice. Building a new mix room now. How much does something like that go for?

Re: Can I have an S4 Please?!
I think that's a base S6 M40. In the $60's I would think.
It's the base D Control replacement, so whatever that cost. |

Re: Can I have an S4 Please?!
The cost really comes down to how much a month the lease is relative to one's business.
