Hi Jozef. Thanks for checking out my video. You can definitely still create layouts using just EuControl on the "Assign" tab. Remember, layouts are tied to sessions. So creating a layout in one session will not carry over to a different session. However, you can import and export layouts in EuControl on the "Layouts" tab. That might accomplish what you're looking for. Try exporting your layouts from a working session and then import them into a different session. The track names will need to match though. Let me know how it goes.

@@antslivesound You are the best! THANK YOU! This way it works

Awesome. Glad I could help out! You may want to look into folder tracks. Having started with layouts, I feel folder tracks are a little bit more flexible and require less upkeep than layouts (just move tracks in and out, ECT). I've converted all my Busses to routing folders. I saved my folder structure as a track template. Recalling the track template restores ALL of my folders. Just something to tinker with in your free time. 🙂

Hey. Thanks for watching. This is a common issue and most likely nothing you did wrong. Open a brand new session and open EuControl and check the layouts tab. If there are no layouts, (expected) its likely just the button labels that are stuck. In Eucontrol, clear out the S1 button softkey assignments and reprogram them for layouts. Hopefully that will do the trick.

@@antslivesound Hi, and thanks for super Quick response. I Will check it out when I am I the studio tomorrow. Regards Kasper

@@antslivesoundHi again. It worked. Thanks so much for your help😊

Awesome. Glad I could help!

Thank you. I'm glad it helped.

You're absolutely right. At this point in time the S1's + Dock is the way to go. I've completely switched over and haven't missed the S3 one bit.

Aww. Thank you! 🙂

Hey. There are a couple of different ways. If your main router/switch has open ports you can just plug the S1 into an open port. The S1 a network device so, like any other network device, it just needs to be connected to the same physical network as your computer. If your Mac has multiple Ethernet ports I'd recommend a small 5 port switch and connect both the Mac and the S1 to a separate switch on the second Ethernet port. This will keep the EUCON traffic separate. Hope that helps.

@@antslivesound thanks can you recommend me one I’m running my Mac m1 from wifi got my studio in basement so I wouldn’t be able to use router since it’s located on first floor

Ah, ok. I just thought of another way. You can use an Ethernet to USB adapter and plug straight into the Mac. That's probably the easiest way for you.

Thank you! Glad it helped!

The S3 is great hardware for sure. I've switched over to using 2 S1s and Dock and I have to say I'll never look back. Having a couple of Amazon FireHDs or iPads as a meter bridge is really nice too. I also prefer the function buttons on the S1 compared to the S3, for instance the DYN function on the first layer without having to hold down shift. I honestly never used the 2 rows of encoders on the S3 so I don't miss that at all. 2 S1s are also a smaller footprint on my desk. Conversely, if I wanted to add another S1 I could technically add another 2. Unfortunately, the S3 can't be combined with other fader surfaces except the Dock. If they can overcome that, that would be a game changer. :) Thanks for watching and sharing your view.

You're welcome. Glad it helped you.

Thank you so much for the encouraging words. Man I wish there was more time in the day. With my full time job, some project recoding, and my side business booming last year I just haven't had the time. I do still answer questions. So if you need help with something I'll definitely try and help.

I was wondering the same thing! anyone have any success???

Absolutely, you can use Avid Control to just control Pro Tools. You do not need a control surface! 👍

@@antslivesound Thank you for this! Is there anything special I need to do to connect it? Every time I try to enable the EuCon in Protools under peripherals I get and error.

@@chrissmothershmm. there shouldnt be anything else other than installing EuControl and enabling it in Peripherals. Have you tried just restarting the computer?

@@antslivesoundI have and reinstalled both protools and EuCon both versions are compatible too. Not much luck

Thank you! 👍👍

Thank you! Yea, fun day for sure! 👍

Hmm, do you have your control surface connected, and is it visible and allocated in EuControl?

@@anthonyanzalone yeah it’s super weird! Everything is running and my session is up. I was able to do it in eucon but not through avid control

Hmm, that is weird. What version of Avid Control are you using?

@@antslivesound the most recent one. I actually had just downloaded it that day. Eucon and everything is up to date

Awesome. Glad the video helped out. Yea, it's a lot easier!

Hey! Well, for the S1 the 12.9 should be fine. There is no horizontal restriction just keep in mind that the S1 unit is 12.25" wide, so if you are planning on adding more in the future the 12.9" iPad will hang over the sides. multiple S1 units with 12.9" iPads may be a bit awkward. As for the Dock, up to 10" iPads will fit horizontally. I use mine in portrait, however.

Awesome thank you for the info

Thanks Buddy.

Hi Dave, I use a standard USB to lightning cable.

Thanks Rich! Thanks for watching. 🙂

Thanks buddy!

Thanks Paul! Hope all is well. Yeah, the P3 is awesome. I did not use the low light mode. Most was straight 4k/30 at 60 shutter speed, ISO 50-1600. The slowmo stuff was shot on slowmo mode (120). I set a manual white balance of 3200 for the indoor stuff and 5500 for the outdoor stuff. It was shot in d-log and processed in Premiere.

Hey Jarrod. Thanks for checking out my video. EuControl (the software that goes "between" the DAW and the hardware) runs in the background automatically. You really don't need to interact with it unless you're changing a preference.

Thank you, buddy. 🙂

Sometimes there is no replacement for a good keyboard shortcut!

Thanks! Definitely a fun time.

Yes, unfortunately this was recoeded before I was more cognizant about ending that stuff out.

I'm glad it helped you!

Glad you found it helpful!

where is the "arrange window"

Thanks for the feedback. Glad the video helped!

You're very welcome. This video is a bit old but the concept remains the same

Hi Pierre, thanks for watching. I know what you're looking for but layouts are for the control surface only. I'm not sure about Nuendo, but in PT there is a way of grouping tracks, then you can show/hide the tracks on the screen based on the group. PT also has folder tracks, which can be collapsed and opened to show/hide it's member tracks on the screen. I hope maybe these concepts can help you in Nuendo.

@@antslivesound Thanks for your reply. I arrange some macros in my Metagrid Pro app. Now I am able to show/ hide track types and f.e. Drum tracks, Drums with Bass etc. And it works now in arrange window of Nuendo and with my S3s. Avid Control sw does not working this way.

Cool!, There may be a way to make Avid Control show hide the tracks too. Check the EuControl preferences.

@@antslivesound Really? I try it, thanks

@@antslivesound So I figured out, that Avid Control show/ hide tracks... but only on S1 or Artist mix surfaces (which I have). Not on daw (PT, Nuendo)... Or I missed something?

Ooooh, just basically answered my question in a way - assigning a VCA only layout to then spill out the tracks. Great.

Cool cool. You can also try experimenting with folder tracks. Those can be spilled too.

@@antslivesound awesome, thx for the tip!

Glad it helped!

Glad it helped!

Hey, thanks for checking out my video. So when you're in MOV / SEL It will not scrub the audio like it will when you're in Jog. As far as fast fwd and rewind. In Preferences>Operation try enabling the "audio during fast forward/rewind" option. That might do it but it may make the fwd and rewind a little wonky. As far as seeming "smoother" in MOV/SEL, I think it may have to do with the grid divisions. I generally keep my grid on 1/8 which would make my play head movements appear "smoother". -hope that helps... Let me know

...and a 16-fader unit that's affordable...

You're welcome

Hmm, ok... So you're saying the devices are not showing up in EuControl? Are you using a Mac or PC? Is the computer running EuControl wirelessly connected to your router the same as the devices, or is it wired with a physical cable? Make sure that the wireless devices are getting an IP Address that is on the same network as the computer running EuControl. Sometimes routers will give out IP addresses that are on a slightly different network than the wired devices.

@@antslivesound Thanks for your response, im using PC Windiws 10 latest update. Nothing shows up on either side of the EU Control. My pro tools is selected to EU Control. Thanks!

Alrighty. First things first... Is the computer running EuControl directly wired to your router/switch with a network cable?

@@antslivesound Yes, that computer is direct ethernet connected, the devices are all on wireless network from the same router.

Ok, good. Are the devices getting an IP address that is on the same network as the counter? Sometimes routers will give out a different IP range to the wireless network. If the computer and wireless devices are on different networks that can be an issue. Also try disabling any firewall on the computer (to test)

Glad one of my vids was able to help!

Hey Fran, great idea but I don't think so. It would be great to have EuCon commands for prev. / next marker. That would be super helpful.

@@antslivesound thanks! just a quick question. With the selection mode, if you press shift will it make a selection on that track? Thanks!

Hi Fran, great question. Unfortunately it won't but you can use the Mark In and Mark Out SHIFT layer functions to do that.

What you can try is creating a custom wheel command and assigning the left turn to keypad - and right turn to keypad + . You would then have to assign this command to a softkey or button. Then you can use this command to move the insertion point around and then hold keyboard SHIFT +CTRL to make a selection... Give it a try. If you need help creating the wheel command let me know. I just tried this. It works as expected however to make a selection backward you have to hold SHIFT +ALT

Cool. Thank you. I'm trying a workflow similar to this. ruclips.net/video/MCyTBNlZK-I/видео.html My ideia is left the mouse completely. But your tip was really good. Thank you!

An iPad is all you need to do many things. I always advocate for trying Avid Control first before buying any control surface. It's free and may very well suit your needs. At a later point, if you feel like you want some more tactile control, then you can figure out if you really want the transport controls, or simply more faders.
