I and others (read the Nuendo.com forums) are getting a little on edge with Yammy and Steinbergs marriage.
We held so much promise with the 01x mixer. We figured great thing would come after that product..
Well, good luck .. |
I fully agree with jjdpro.
I've spoken with several people who have looked at the Euphonix MC controller, but have passed due to the high price-to-performance ratio. The concensus is:
24 channels moving faders, one button flippable from 1-24 to 25-48
Each channel to have a button above the fader to access:
1) EQ (either Nuendo or a plug in)
2) Compressor (either Nuendo or a plug in)
3) Plug-in Reverb
4) Plug-in FX #1
5) Plug-in FX #2
Easily accessible to the right hand are 8 rotary knobs with scribble-strip display above each knob that displays the parameters. The 6-8 rotary knobs are activated when pressing any one of the above #5 buttons, for that particular button. If I wanted to adjust Reverb on channel #12, I could select a "Reverb" button above the #12 fader with my left hand, while adjusting parameters on the 6-8 rotary knobs with my right.
Three rotary knobs for each channel above the faders and five buttons to adjust pan, Aux 1 and Aux 2.
Standard transport functionality (including jog shuttle) and two master channels with faders/functionality.
Some standard editing buttons for cuts and pasting, crossfades, ect. with separate mark-in and mark-out buttons.
Some additional goodies that make editing and other often used functions easier.
No noticable latency for each function. Each function working as advertised.
That's about it.......oh, yeah---at a fair price point--say $5k or under (including any software add-on's to make it work. The people I talked to were pretty pissed at an $18k price tag for the MC controller and then having to shell out an additional $1,200 for the Eucon software).
When you look at the expertise Yamaha and Steinberg bring to the table, this should be very easy to do. The market is there. I think jjdpro, myself and others are saying is that we get the feeling your not listening.
Though we don't want to switch to Pro Tools, we do get the feeling that they are listening to their prospective customers.
