Avid icon dcommand9/22/2023 ![]() The ergonomic design of the D-Command ES enables control through the channel strips and includes LCD display, LED ring, and bar-graph meters for visual feedback. Each channel strip features a touch-sensitive motorized fader, two multi-purpose rotary encoders, and multiple push buttons for quick access to key session parameters. Command Within ReachĮquipped with eight channel faders, the D-Command ES is expandable to 24 faders by adding a single 16-channel Fader Module. With D-Command ES, operators have powerful hands-on command over every aspect of a Pro Tools project, including recording, editing, mixing, and processing - with integrated video and delivery - from a relatively small, but expandable, work surface. The Digidesign D-Command ES tactile work surface is the newest member of the ICON family, packing amazing control and ICON-exclusive Pro Tools functionality into a medium-format console with a new, even sleeker look! As with the flagship large-format ICON D-Control console, D-Command ES utilizes Pro Tools|HDX as its DSP mix engine and Pro Tools|HD interfaces and peripherals for system I/O. It is amazing how this kind of stink and "struggle" seems to only follow Avid around.Two of the displays are broken, and one of the faders on the main unit is bent.Įverything (including the bent fader) is fully functional. because that is the path of least resistance. There will just be a little flag that disables it when launched in Apple Silicon. In all reality, Avid are going to be knocking out universal binary versions of Pro Tools for several years to come, complete with Digidesign Ethernet code still in place. or the hybrid engine suddenly exists.Īvid have disabled this because. It doesn't care it folder tracks are added. It works because it is compartmentalised as separate functions in the code. There is really no way in hell Avid have been maintaining the Digidesign Ethernet protocol for almost 5 years from when support officially ended. because the whole application will be made up of small, discrete functions for everything. To suggest that the Digidesign Ethernet Protocol isn't baked in at a fundamental level in the way you are, is to suggest that nothing in Pro Tools is baked in. They are simply small, compartmentalised subsets of code that take defined inputs, do *something*, then return an output. Functions are one of the fundamental ways of doing that. Well written code is compartmentalised at a code level. Hoping I get some interesting gifts (hé maybe a S4 ? heheheheh) With this I go out and start preps for the new year '23. ![]() So please AVID, once again reconsider supporting the ICON for 5 years longer And on a MAC I rearly have issues (use to work with PC for years but now on MAC for about 5 years) Stability, everything interconnects, great functions, great support bases, etc. I love PT and what it brings to the table. This is impossible for a lot of smaler studio's. I did a quick calculation and to replace my "old" stuff I will need to invest more than 100k to have almost the same functionality. I understand that technology is changing but that doesn't mean it becomes "unworkable". as the good old HD I/O is also out as of ) I want to know my investment will take me a loooooooong time. When we invest the price of 1/3 of a house (Console, Avid MTRX and Input Cards etc. What will happen as again a now protocol comes out ? Will they drop support for the Sx range as "quickly" (although 10 years is not quick) as they are doing now with the Icon range and have done with previous consoles and technology ? Knowing what AVID has done with all the older consoles. Nice conversations here on the topic - thanks. And they can be stripped out exactly for that reason. The commands aren't "baked in at a fundamental level" as you first suggested. There is maintenance that needs to be done to keep these older protocols working - even at the current functionality. And that has to be dealt with each time (we've already seen it.) I never suggested "drivers" but Apple does tinker with the network stack (why things breaks). They are adding compartmentalised functions…īut new functions sometimes need adjustment for older functions. EuCon changes regularly not because Avid are “working around things”. The same applies with object and Atmos panning. Icon desks never offered supported folders, because Avid never added a Digidesign Ethernet function for it. It has always been compartmentalised in code… but that doesn’t suddenly mean it “needs a driver”. This stuff exists as separate functions in Pro Tools that address mutual variables. Digidesign didn’t brute force the code for Digidesign Ethernet into Pro Tools… because that would be amateur hour stuff that first year undergraduates do out of pure naivety.
