djakou « a little disappointed »
Published on 09/05/10 at 13:17I went from a defaulting control 24 c24 has a new on which I work about 10 hours a day for a month and I was fairly disappointed, let me explain:
I paid for my new 24 control about $ 8,000 (I'll let you do the conversion to the euro) and c24 cost me $ 11,500.
certe the C24 is a very good controller but I consider it a vulgere reissue of control 24, namely that I have not seen real improvements compared to the control 24.
First defect is the fact that the faders are horizontal, I removed the shims in the front and I raised the rear for better working comfort.
Second default: having removed part of the solo duties as safe and safe record (replaced by option / rec or solo) and a few others.
Third default: Apostrophes in the words of the screen above the Rotarians in fact the lack of visibility of the console, not to mention the bargraph almost unreadable.
Fourth default: the act of placing a send to another since the C24 does not even pass on the window of the protools mix.
I feel really bad that ex-Digi have not integrated the C24 has a few functions from the Icon series, style and soft keys for the creation of tracks (duplicate, delete, etc ...) and then we put 32 faders.
Anyway I put 7 / 10 because AC is a very good controller easy to handle and by saving precious time and accuracy especially during the mixes.
The quality / price is a bit limited given the lack of difference with the control 24.
Today I rather regret my choice at the base I had to buy a D-Command ES 24 faders but differ with the importer a tax on non-specified on the quote made me look at the C24 (much less dear)
