Digidesign C24 – two months on
|
Had a chance now to evaluate the new board and now two months on I can give some feed back.
My first impressions have been upheld and I have to say I'm finding the C24 very intuitive. Unlike the HUI it is now the centre of my work space. The jog/shuttle wheel acts as a great zoom and movement ball and other than naming tracks or playlists I have almost discarded the keyboard. The 'smart' tool in Pro Tools is now my standard for editing et cetera and like the D-control, Venue and Icon the 'EQ' and 'Dynamics' buttons are useful assets to accessing plugins. I used instrument plugins in 'anger' this week and was very impressed with the way the C24 acts like a KORE 2 controller giving you access to all the parameters. Once again very intuitive! I've been working with Will Todd (composer of Mass in Blue) last week on his new work Te Deum and we have had to do a lot of mixing (1090 bars plus !). You can very quickly set different automation states, latch/write/latch & write, really quickly and even during passes. The 'write automation to' section is close to hand and the whole process is fast and excellent fun and more over just what mixing should be ... CREATIVE! No more wrestling with technology. Some of the bigger plugin windows, Sonnox dynamics & Waves SSL channel now appear on an easy to use single strip and it's just like using the original analogue versions knob twiddling to your hearts content. In conclusion I'm enjoying the C24 far more than I'd anticipated and can't wait to start again next week! |
