Gone are the days when I was having to regularly power-cycle my Artist Control, or that EuControl unexpectedly quit, taking Pro Tools with it. I’ve found this latest version of EuControl to be the most stable yet. I’ve always been a “physical faders” mixer - I find faders and knobs far more intuitive than touch screens and mouse control. Being able to spill and un-spill VCAs out to my Artist Mix surfaces is invaluable and allows me to tweak relative levels of large amount of tracks, in just ONE pass, rather than multiple passes having to tweak channels individually. What has struck me most about this update to EuControl is that it builds on an already very solid control system, irons out some bugs, but most importantly, allows you to really customise your own user experience. Most, if not all, of these feature also ripple through to the Pro Tools Control app. Shortcut To Enable/Disable Plug-In Automation (Pro Tools Only) Suspend All Faders and Shortcut to Enable/Disable Plug-In Automation Un-spill VCA from Dock and Pro Tools | Control Sum And Intercancel For Sources And Speakers Monitoring View in Pro Tools | Control and Enable EUCON Monitor Open/Close Window on Workstation When Editing Surface Attention Follows DAW (Attention Most Recently Clicked DAW Area) You can learn more about this on our exclusive interview with François Quereuil, who is Audio Product Manager at Avid. That Avid have managed to make this feature work on “Native” Pro Tools and not HDX yet, speaks volumes for the sheer power capabilities and flexibility of today’s host computers and the challenges of getting more out of a legacy system in the time division multiplexing (TDM) where they have now got to divide time up into more slots but not take any more space up. This is something I’ve been screaming for, for years. Along with being able to add whole new reverb return setups, without interrupting playback, this feature is already saving me oodles of time and more importantly keeps my creative flow from being uninterrupted. Included in this feature is also the ability to create new paths, say routing a bunch of channels to a new effects return (Aux Input), without having to hit Stop. This isn’t something that I tend to use an awful lot as a key part of an efficient post-production mix is in the preparation, but it is great to know that I’m not going to have to stop my mix in order to make changes to my routing. The new uninterrupted playback works very well, here are some examples… Insert, Move, Or Remove Plug-ins All Very Good But How Well Does It Work In The Real World?Īs soon as you fire up Pro Tools Ultimate 2019.5 you get an immediate sense that things are in general “zippier” - play commands respond faster, loops are seamless, even with huge track counts, and the video engine seems very stable and responsive (on Windows certainly - Mac users may still find that their experience varies).
