S1 and SSL UF8 in Tandem
I find myself possessing both an S1 and the SSL UF8 through plenty of fault of my own. Does anyone have a similar setup and if so, how are they using each piece so as not to be redundant. Of course if I had to choose one or the other, the S1 wins but my first thought, if I'm to use both, would be to use the S1 as my main fader pack for the individual channels and put VCA's or Aux busses on the SSL.
To make matters, or at least my desk, more cluttered, I have a PT Dock as well. Thoughts on using this setup effectively? Or sell the UF8 and be happy with my S1 and Dock. TIA |

Re: S1 and SSL UF8 in Tandem
My suggestion, sell the UF8 and buy another S1.
Putting the VCA’s on the UF8 does not but you any additional workflow since you cannot spill the VCA’s on the UF8. If you had 2 S1’s I think you’d find the benefit of using Multi-Master mode VCA spill as well as the 32 programmable softkeys available to you. As well as a ton of other benefits with the included Dock. |

Re: S1 and SSL UF8 in Tandem
If you use other DAWs, the UF8 might still come in handy if those DAWs don’t support Eucon. If you don’t need to sell it to fund another S1

EUCON also supports Mackie Control

Re: S1 and SSL UF8 in Tandem
Have you considered the UC1 - hands on control of SSL channelstrip (4000B or 9000E/G) and bus compressor plugins?
I think it's such a wonderful complementation to a DAW controller like S1 or in my case 2 x Artist Mix. You could sell the S1 and have the UF8/UC1 combo, but then you would not have Eucon. But a S1 + Dock + UC1 = Dynamite, IMO. UC1 – …"from my cold, dead hands".

And to close this thread out, it took me just a couple of days of working with the S1 and Dock combination to realize how powerful it is. The UF8 doesn't even come close as far as integration with Pro Tools..I guess that's to be more than expected but until I actually got my hands on the S1, I didn't realize how power the integration was. And so, I have sent the UF8 back, just within the return window but probably at the loss of a restocking fee, and ordered a second S1. Now...to make some music. Thanks all. J |

I think the UF8 has 5 banks of 8, so if that’s a selling point, as it is for me, you’re getting more of that feature / function with 1 UF8 than 2 S1s.
