EQ Expanding

Please dont get into how one EQ could be used for everything, bottom line is: S6 needs preferences for which plugin, which slot, maps in which way to the console.

This is crystal clear. Thanks for the response. We are aware that S6 needs the following:

(A) Cycling through multiple EQ & Multiple Dynamic plug-ins on the same track. It is very often that mixers will use multiple filters or dynamic tools to solve problems for a given audio element. S6 needs to be able to efficiently target the particular Avid or 3rd party EQ (or DYN) that is accessed both from the knob modules (in magenta mode) or from the Master Touch Module.

(B) Favorite EQ & DYN (located in Pro Tools preferences under Mixing) need to be able to be added at a specific location in the Insert signal chain as chosen by the operator. The current implementation is quite limited, and inflexible. Ultimately, instantiation of any Insert plug-in (including Favorites) should be possible on any tracks, at any Insert location 1-10 with slots labeled Inserts A-J.



best,

I've posted this in the Artist Mix forum but I wanted to ask here since this discussion is relevant.

From what I understand, if you have two different EQs on a channel and want to switch between controlling one or the other, pressing the EQ switch on the Artist Mix should cycle through the two eqs. Same goes for multiple dynamics plugins.

From the What's new in PT 2018 doc:

"You can specify the starting slot for EQ/Dyn cycling. This lets you optimize EQ and Dyn cycling (via repeated pressing of the EQ or Dyn switches) to start from either a specific slot, or from the most recently cycled slot."


I can't seem to get this working. I've changed the cycling settings in Preferences > Mixing > Controllers to no avail.

I have the latest version of EuControl (3.7.0) and all of my surfaces (Mix & Transport) have the latest firmware.

Does anyone else have this problem or is able to get it to work?

This is currently only for S6 (but coming to EuControl soon)

Ok. That’s not clearly stated in either the What’s New PDF or the reference manual: it says Eucon Surface which I assumed included the Artist series. When VCA spill was introduced originally Avid specified only the S6.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I have asked the writers to fix that for the upcoming release. Thanks
