Avid Pro Tools Dock Review by Sweetwater

Mitch Gallagher presents the Pro Tools Dock control surface from Avid. It integrates with your iPad, extending the Pro Tools | Control iOS app's functionality with transport controls, a jog wheel, and automation controls. A channel fader, color-matched soft keys, and soft knobs round out the Pro Tools | Dock's functionality. You can use the Pro Tools | Dock as a standalone device or in conjunction with your S3 or Artist Mix, arming you with ergonomic, tactile control over your DAW.

Best video I've seen on the topic. Well done sir.

[sprintonbeat]

I like this guy haha reminds me of my dad!

[glennusher]

Is it only me? Every time i watch this guy Promote something.. I really listen and he makes me want to buy that product.. Knowing damn well. i don't need it or can't afford it... This guy is making people bankrupt... They picked the perfect person for their business, to showcase what ever they want to sale.

He's great. Reminds me of watching John King on CNN on election night.

actually if you look into the raven it does support avid, protool, but its all on personal preference, me, I would prefer the 27 inch over an iPad control, the software may be free but you have to buy the dock and the ipad, which both will cost what a reven cost, if you like this that's fine, i guess people get mad now and days when you have your own opinion especiallyb if id doesnt agree with them

[sigmundklaus]

first time he touches the dock is at 6:49

Thick finger issues with that ipad hehe

[xXxAmadeuzxXx]

crazy thing is I can do all this with my mouse and keyboard.
Easily!

[-PAT-]

you can use it without ipad or avid controll app right?

[naturecollision]

what's the resolution of the main fader? can't find this info anywhere, I hope it is at least 10bit, preferably 14bit like bitchbend..

[hourpartypeople]

The dock is useless! Just get an ipad.

[humvnerrr]

*rips top off of S6* ohh here buy this!

[archehussl]

by the time you but the dock and an I pad, you could have bought a slate raven for pop and have a 27inch touch screen...um bad idea pro tool

[jimmygigga]

you have 50 different nondescript buttons that can be assigned to 1000 different operations. ? nothing here is faster or more convenient than my mouse.

Didn't buy purely because it's Apple only. I'm not an Apple hater, but their products don't suit my needs, so by pinning itself to them, the product doesn't meet my needs by extension.
