Thought I’d start a thread for Eucon users to discuss the features we’d like to see in a future update. I had an Artist Mix/Transport setup for about a year or so and have just replaced it with an Avid S3 which is awesome. Here are my ideas about how it could be even better…
These first two are the ones I would really love to see and would make a MASSIVE difference to the usability of the controller for me especially with big 200 track sessions:
-
Channels hidden in Cubase should not be displayed on the controller. PLEASE if you just do one thing Steinberg, make it this!
-
Have the Cubase mixer respond to the S3 nudge/bank buttons so the channels displayed on screen follow those displayed on the controller.
And these are some more which would be nice bonuses:
-
Have the option of changing the Record Arm buttons to control writing automation
-
For a setup with more than 8 faders, spill EQ controls across 16 knobs instead of 8 (so that you have a dedicated ‘Q’ knob for each band and a dedicated ‘Type’ knob instead of having to use the buttons to switch between functions).
-
On the S3, get rid of the level meter on the OLED’s so you can have more space for longer channel names. These meters are redundant because the S3 has it’s own LED meters.
-
Make the control knobs linear i.e. no ‘acceleration’.
Any other Eucon users out there… I’d like to hear your thoughts.
