Re: Going from D-Command to S3 + Dock
Think some of you are misunderstanding me here
I do not in any way say that the S3 is betten than a D-Command. But our beloved D-Commands are not working forewer, and i'm just looking into replacing mine, and one of the surfaces I'm looking at is the S3/Dock. |

Mine is 10 years old and has no signs of wear. I hope it will last another 10 with some care and maintenance.

Re: Going from D-Command to S3 + Dock
Again, even with the dock, you are going to be disappointed if you go from a d command to the s3 dock. You should be looking at a s6 m10. You can start with a 8 fader for 21k and build it up as you get more funds. If you plan on that, you should get the bigger frame right off the bat. You can't expand the bolster frame sizes very easily.

Because: Eucontrol still stays the same crap and none of the features people actually want are implemented. According to some presentations of the ipad app the extra features should also work when a S3 is present. But who knows, how Avid will cripple the app in the end.

This is what I want to know about the dock, will the soft knobs on the side, act like dedicated plugin controls? For example will the top left knob ALWAYS be input gain for an EQ? Even different 3rd party EQ's? It would essentially be like a dedicated icon EQ and dynamic section, control.... If it Acted like this

Re: Going from D-Command to S3 + Dock
If that's the case then a used D Command is still a much more powerful tool..

They really need to release the ability to map the plugins how you'd like. They've been saying for years that they are going to do it and never have. However now with a lot of the S6 guys asking for it, it seems like it just might happen. Of course they could do it on the S6 and not the Eucontrol surfaces. But so far they've done pretty well trickling down a lot of the S6 features to the S3. Can't wait to see how it turns out and we see some real hands-on reviews. |

But.... I guess if they were promoting this feature at AES then one would hope they've got it implemented. |
