I am building a new studio for my wife and seeking for a good mixer. The MC-5 of Euphonix has nice features but I don't like the fact it is running of buggy Windows XP. They promise me it works but I am to scared to blue screens during a session... Simply dont trust that Windows stuff to much...
So I was thinking of a SSL with ProTools but the digidesign can be serious candidate too maybe... have still to see both consoles...
thanks for the pictures, always great to learn from someone else...  |
For what it's worth, I run the MC-pro, which is the center part of a 5-MC setup (just without the faders) and it has been running (on windows) for years without a single problem, never crashed once. The 5MC is a great system if you are mixing in the box, I just wanted the analog option as well, so I added the AWS to the existing MCpro setup. The digital control section on the AWS is much better with ProTools than with Nuendo. On the AWS PT runs in HUI control and Nuendo runs in Mackie Control, which is a bit limited, but I just need the faders and basic stuff like AUX sends to control from the AWS in Nuendo. And even though it's possible on the AWS, everything else, like editing, plugins etc. is done on the MC pro. The Eucon protocol is amazing for editing and controlling your DAW, especially Nuendo. It was a difficult decission, but with my current setup and all the workshops, an analog console was the better way to go for me, and I am very happy with my choice so far, best of both worlds and everything is living in harmony and working fine together. IMHO a hybrid setup (analog sound/summing - digtal control) is the way to go.
