Euphonix

The Artist Mix is made by Euphonix and it is a control interface that has motorized faders and all of the buttons and knobs can be programmed to work with your DAW. This control interface is so easy to use, and you can use it on Windows computers and Mac with a very easy set up process for both systems. This interface is on the higher end of the price range but because the sliders are motorized and the interface of the unit is very user friendly makes it worth the money. This control surface is very portable, it cannot be racked but it does not take up much of your workspace. I have been using it since about 2010 and it has never gave me any problems. All of the motorized faders work great every single time and they are well made. I have never had a single issue with any button or knob on this control interface since the day it came out of the box. There are 63 soft keys and a total of 8 knobs. There is also an input footswitch which I do not use because I just don’t have a use for it. This mixer is surprisingly portable weighing less than 5 pounds, I also have a gig bag that did not come with it but I use it to transport the Artist Mix from place to place just to keep it scratch free. There are no audio inputs or outputs on this mixer, and it does not connect to your computer from a USB or MIDI cable. It takes a Ethernet connection to sync it up to your computer Mac or PC. The interface and layout of this mixer is what really draws me to it. It is laid out perfectly for my set up and using it with Logic and Cubase has made my workflow so much easier. Only thing that I wish is that it had the start, stop and record function on the bottom center portion of the mixer.

The Euphonix Artist Mix is a control surface that has 8 motorized faders and all of the buttons are programmable. It can be used on your Mac or your PC if your system meets the right requirements. The Artist Mix gives you complete control over all of the most powerful parts of creating and mixing your music. You can use it with your master tracks as well as plug-ins and effects channels. All of the faders on the Euphonix Artist Mix are very well made, they have the feel of a very expensive Pro Tools board. Setting the Euphonix Artist Mix up was simple. It only takes a few minutes. It has 63 soft keys and this unit is also very portable and light. There are no audio inputs or audio outputs. It connects to your computer through a Ethernet cable. The fader throw is 100mm, and as stated it is fully motorized and touch sensitive. It is a big plus that you can get a mixing console for this price and of this size. You can easily take this with you wherever you go. The design is nice and the build is very strong, I don’t see this having any problems in the near future. I have been using it since last November and it has not gave me any problems yet. It doesn’t take up much desktop space either which is great, because it can not be racked. This will speed up your workflow and make mixing and mastering a breeze. Once you learn how to use the Euphonix Artist Mix to edit and change your plug-ins then you will have the whole session right in the palm of your hands. I can not picture myself trying to master a song without this unit now that I have it. It has just made everything easier and I highly suggest it. I would not have it any other way and would buy again fast!
