Major Feature Requests for the Third Generation Control|24

[relaxo]

The new C|24 ain't got much at all on the Control 24. The two biggest flaws on the Control24 weren't even addressed on the C24, which gets under my mixer skin and old industrial designer skin. I'd be so mad to shell out $7k for an uglier console with the same two fatal flaws, the C24.


So please, in your next Control|24, the Control|24 Redux, please fix these two design mis-steps finally:

1) Scribble strips are TERRIBLE with so few characters. (Left unfixed in the C24!!! Hello?!?)

2) Another serious ergonomic misdesign....the meters should be closer to the faders to quickly mentally correlate the fader to the track you want to fade.

Example: You're mixing quickly like always. You want to lower the bass track. You hear it pumping and you look for the correlating meter as the quickest method of locating the bass track fader. The problem...the meter is miles from the fader, so you have to slow down, move your eye down the console to find the right fader. Doesn't sound like much, but when you need to move the right fader 500 times an hour, it sucks to be slowed down so much. Ergonomically, the meter should be right along side, parallel to the fader.

Thanks.
