Dock/Control features and quirks

[reichman]

I'm getting more into the groove with Dock/Control. Here are some thoughts from my recent usage:

-when one track is in solo mode, all the other tracks appear muted. We need PT | Control to display the 'dim mute' in Pro Tools, so you can distinguish between actually muted tracks, and tracks that are just temporarily muted by the presence of the solo.

-EuCon soft key editor often shows a blank list of functions. I sometimes have to quit EuCon to refresh the list. Is anyone else seeing this?

-Alt key on the Dock sometimes doesn't light up (or turns off when it shouldn't), making it confusing to see which mode you're in on the automation keyset. Have to toggle it occasionally to see which mode I'm in.

-tapping on a track on the iPad to attention it to the fader could be quicker. I was frequently missing mix moves because of the slight delay re-attentioning the fader (would this be faster with the camera connection kit for iPad?).

And then just a tip for all Dock users: reprogramming the RTZ key to do Back and Play by default was the best thing I've done.

Looking forward to the next rev!

Re: the blank soft key editor command list... seeing how precise your above list is, I don't this is the case, but: this would happen to me if I happened to select an application (browser, iZotope editor, etc) other than Pro Tools before either selecting the Eucon application or pressing the soft-key-editor buttons on the Dock.

If I saw no options in the "command" window of the soft key editor, I would simply command-tab to Pro Tools, then back to Eucon, and the commands would be available.

Note: this would happen even when "application locked" to Pro Tools 12.

Belated thanks for your sleuthing Garrard!

I think track-attentioning is faster now in EuCon 3.5. And it's stable. Mixed all day with only one crash- unrelated to EuCon.
