The problem I see is all those controllers makes the desk look very cluttered. Just me but I cannot stand clutter. I would simplify. Each person has a right to do what they want. Love your videos. Keep them coming.
As a Post mixer, I can't live without my S1 (at the office) or my UF8 (at home). I have to write automation on multiple tracks at a time.
I was on the fence for some time to go back to faders lol but you made it clear to my next move to the Avid Dock
I still love my artist mix and I have the dock too
I've had a dock for a few weeks now and I'm cautiously optimistic about its utility. However, the 2 things I'm missing are the ability to quickly adjust my high-level groups/auxes/summing folders (drums, perc, bass, vox, etc.), as well as the ability to spill the contents of these across faders for intuitive intra-section balancing. For this I think the S1 would be a good match.
I have both..sometimes I wonder the same thing but part of working out of the box is maintaining that tactile feel in your work flow so I'd say keep it. Additionally, I'd argue the technological obsolescence factor is low with the s1 so it SHOULD hold it's value.
I have a 10+ y/o Presonus Faderport v1 (already replaced the fader and cleaned inside at least 4 times), I use most buttons quite a lot but I don't remember a time I actually used the fader. Also it makes noise. Over the years I have been looking at nice control units but never really felt like buying any, simply because I'm most likely never going to mix using the control box, with over 25 years using mouse and keyboard I don't see how can I be faster than that. I feel like consoles have their place in recording studios but not in composition / sound design studios. Not in the modern world. Maybe only if you want to manually automate multiple things at a time which honestly never had to.
The Dock it’s awesome, maybe you don’t need to get rid of the s1, one cool workflow is creating different layouts to map the s1 as you like, and can be recalled easily with shift and the color buttons on the bottom. I mean the s1 is really cool for fader control, anything else i get it done on the dock.
I'm in the search now for a controller setup and have to get over aesthetics mostly and just focus on what will work best for me.
One thing I like on the S1 is the Flip key and being able to see send levels which is not as easy to see in Pro Tools
Good point/video. Thanks for posting. I have an off topic question to ask. Feel free to ugnore it if not interested in answering.
I would keep it. I had the SSL UF8 and the S1 is way better and much simpler. But I personally do my automation with faders and and do a lot of automation with plugins. The S1 makes it supper easy.
I'm just on keyboard and mouse and want to get the Apple Magic Pad to see how that go. Like the new Softube just wish they would have put one fader on it too. What do you think about the new Icon P1 Nano?
I'm still rocking my S3
Mulligan user here. Oh wait that’s right, Avid just nuked it out of nowhere with the latest update.
While I really don't want to influence your decision one way or the other, if you do infact decide to sell the s1 I would be interested in buying it. I am currently in school for audio engineering and I have been saving up to get my own dock and s1. Plus, not only would it help me achieve my goal quicker buying one second hand. It would also be just so cool to own a piece of gear that was previously owned by an idol that actually helped inspire me to dive into my passion and go for my goals within the space. I was a basement mixer for over 8 years, learning everything from youtube, and I finally decided to go for it last year. Honestly, your channel has had a significant role in my decision. So I just think that would be such a cool story. All that being said, I still don't want to influence your decision, i just wanted to say that if you do end up moving on from the s1, please keep me in mind!
I've been seriously thinking about trying the Slate Raven. What are your thoughts?
I'm not currently in the market for, nor do I ever see myself wanting to get into using a control surface. Do I see the benefit? Of course! Not knocking it at all. But I'm on an analog console here and I prefer to do individual passes one by one to bake it into my tracks before mixdown. I'll usually then do broad strokes on a master using in the box automation.
Honestly, I will just buy a behringer wing.
I just use the automation on my console, works great
