A Compact, Elegant, and Effective DAW Control Surface!

The Avid Artist Mix control surface puts eight motorized faders and an array of programmable buttons and knobs at your command for maximum control over your DAW in a small footprint. Avid put some of the coolest features from its impressive full-sized consoles into the Artist Mix, including touch-sensitive, responsive faders and multi-function rotary encoders. This well-designed box is ultra-functional, while sporting a decidedly uncluttered appearance. Now you can get the most out of your DAW with the compact, versatile Artist Mix!

The Artist Mix's rotary encoders give you direct control over everything from panning and gain to editing your most powerful plug-ins and EQ. These knobs and keys can also be pressed to select/deselect and navigate through parameters. Knob set selector keys allow you to quickly assign the rotary encoders to control plug-ins, EQs, panning, signal routing, and much more. You can either control the same parameter across all tracks or assign all knobs to one track for easy editing of multiple parameters at once.

High-quality ALPS 100mm long throw faders offer accurate and smooth mixing; touching a fader will automatically select the corresponding track. Avid consoles are renowned for their quality components and smooth operation, and now the Artist Mix gives you that "feel" in an affordable, compact unit!

High-resolution 128 x 64 pixel OLED display provides track name/number, detailed metering (from mono to 5.1 surround data), parameter name/value currently being modified by its corresponding rotary encoder, current automation mode, and more.

The MC Control and Artist Mix feature EuCon, a high-speed control protocol developed by Avid that enables simultaneous control of multiple applications and even workstations over an Ethernet cable at 250 times the speed and eight times the resolution of MIDI. EuCon automatically detects whatever application is in the foreground and instantly sets the high-resolution touchscreen and displays, motorized faders and arsenal of controls to match.

Avid Artist Mix Control Surface Features at a Glance:
  • 8 touch-sensitive motorized faders
  • 8 touch-sensitive rotary encoders
  • 8 high-resolution OLED displays (128 x 64 pixels)
  • Transport controls
  • High-speed EuCon Ethernet protocol
  • Mac OS X and Windows 7 compatible

The Avid Artist Mix puts "big console" control and feel into a handy desktop control surface!

Exactly What I Needed!

I am a sound arts student and I spend many hours a day at my desk turning knobs and fader and other parameters with my mouse. My workflow was slow and using a mouse all day was time consuming and exh... read more [+]austing. I purchased the Avid Artist Mix in december and have loved every minute of using it. I use it along with Logic Pro and it works in perfect unison with the DAW. I love mixing now, it feels as if I am on a bigger board console and really improves my workflow. The motorized faders work amazingly well and are quite fun to watch when you have many automations on tracks. I highly recommend this product for anyone who wants to make using a DAW more fun and productive. close [-]

Does what it says... very well

The biggest advantage of this unit is added speed and efficiency to workflow... I cannot imagine trying to mix and master without it at this point. The small green screens above each channel are very ... read more [+]helpful, the faders are smooth and accurate, it makes automation a breeze, and, while it takes a little bit to learn how to manipulate plugins and use the transport controls effectively, after a half hour it becomes second nature and blows point-and-click editing away.

I do wish the shell was somewhat sturdier and the fader knobs not so light-weight, but I've had mine for about 14 months now, have used it heavily, and everything is still in perfect working order.

Would recommend to anyone close [-]

Exactly What A Control Surface Should Be

It really is what the title says. 8 motorized faders and knobs work everytime. Never had a problem with the unit itself. It is a little expensive, but I feel that is the same of almost all control ... read more [+]surfaces. The ethernet connectivity is great and really allows for instant communication between the unit and the computer. You really can do everything on this little unit after a quick tutorial: mix, EQ, compress, add reverb, and adjust parameters on almost every plugin we use in Logic. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
I've been waiting to fill the space between my keyboard and computer but nothing really caught my eye like Euphonix has. I have been researching specs and dimensions on many pieces and could not find the right size, interface, or Mac integration that I needed. The MC Mix puts professional control in the hands of the home studio producer. You can configure four MC Mix units together, plus one MC Control, for a total of five units working together. That equals 36 faders and one touchscreen for complete control over your DAW.

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
