Avid Artist Mix, from Avid

Avid's Artist Mix is a professional personal studio console designed to be used independently or in conjunction with the Artist Control to give users more control over popular DAW's and Video Edit applications. The Artist Mix is very compact and fits easily between any monitor and keyboard for easy, portable access. Along with the portability, the Artist Mix helps users produce professional quality mixes using its many features that can be expanded with the connection of additional Artist Mix or Artist Control units. The Artist Mix allows you to easily switch between applications without ever touching your mouse and features a high-resolution touch-screen interface, soft keys, motorized faders, and track information all at your fingertips. The Artist Mix runs on a EuCon protocol and is also compatible with most professional DAW's and Video Edit applications, including Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, Digital Performer, and much more. This handy little control service is great for anyone looking for great professional control for audio mixing or any other application on a compact and portable device. 

The Artist Mix brings the unparalleled audio mixing speed, resolution and DAW integration of Avid's high-end professional consoles to the personal studio. The faders and rotary encoders enable fast access to pan, EQ and plug-ins with clear metering and info displays. Add MC Control and/or extra Artist Mix units for larger systems.

Artist Mix offers a host of power features to speed up and enhance your creativity with any DAW that supports EuCon, HUI or Mackie Control protocols.

Artist Mix can work on its own, or be expanded with up to three additional Artist Mix units and/or an MC Control.

Effortlessly switch between multiple applications and workstations at the touch of a button - the faders and high-resolution OLED displays and other controls instantly snap to the selected application to put multi-format metering, plug-in parameters, EQ curves and much more at your fingertips.

Most importantly, software developers like Apple, Steinberg, MOTU and others have worked closely to integrate native support for Euphonix' EuCon control protocol into their DAWs to deliver an unmatched editing and mixing experience.

EuCon is a high speed Ethernet control protocol developed by Euphonix that allows the Artist Mix to connect to any Mac OS X application. EuCon carries control information for faders, knobs, displays and more between the Artist Mix and whatever application is in focus on your computer.

EuCon is MIDI on steroids and is the next generation control protocol for working with music and video applications.

The EuControl application manages the Artist Mix's connection to the Mac, and the MC Client application connects the EuCon control data to all the applications. The Artist Mix can connect to any application, but for fader and knob control, the application must be able to support either EuCon, HUI, or Mackie Control protocol.

DAWs and Video Edit applications which include EuCon, HUI or Mackie Control protocol include:

* Logic Pro
* Final Cut Pro
* Soundtrack Pro
* Cubase
* Nuendo
* Digital Performer
* Pro Tools
* Reason
* Live
* and more...
