Moving From Softube Console 1 to Avid dock?

[Chevron]

I've been a long-time user of Console 1 with Pro Tools, and love it. It really helps to move quickly and the static layout is really great to become accustomed to.

Recently though I have seen some great videos on the Avid dock, and I have to say it looks very cool. Takes up similar desk space, and has way more features and is much more powerful.

I feel that maybe only having 8 knobs might be a drawback, but maybe not.

I am curious if anyone also made the change from C1 to the Avid dock?

I can't speak to Console 1 but the recently released Custom plugin knob layouts certainly helps with the 8 knobs. Also coming later this year you can build these with 2 controls per knob and switch between them.

That's awesome Eddie! Any chance the switching is done via the push-click?

Excuse my ignorance, what is the "Sel switch switch"?

[EddieJones]

Its the switch to the left of the knobs

Are you OK with dropping into automation each time you switch between knobs? Pushing the knob top, touches the knob so this would happen.
