Versatile, Powerful Pro Tools Control

From music mixing to post production, the Avid Pro Tools | S3 packs the functionality you need into a sleek, ergonomic mixing control surface and AVB audio interface. It's ready to give you comprehensive control over any EUCON-enabled software including Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic Pro, Media Composer, and others. You'll be able to create and record tracks, write automation, instantiate plug-ins, manage routing, and do practically anything else you used to use a mouse and keyboard for. And with its built-in 4 x 6 AVB audio interface, the Avid Pro Tools | S3 is ready for professional recording and mixing wherever you are.

Complete control for your studio

The intuitive layout of the Avid Pro Tools | S3, with full support for EUCON-enabled software, puts virtually every software parameter under your fingers. Beyond simple tasks like adjusting fader levels and pan positions, the Pro Tools | S3 lets you instantiate plug-ins, set up aux sends, edit regions, apply fades, and much more. Even if you work with multiple DAWs, the Pro Tools | S3 is ready to make your workflow smoother than ever.

Define your own workflow with custom mixer layouts

You can create up to 12 custom mixer layouts for the Avid Pro Tools | S3, available for instant recall at any time. Create layouts for editing, mixing, tracking, and whatever else you do on a regular basis, with all of your most-used functions placed exactly where you want them. Audio engineers at Sweetwater have delved deeply into the Pro Tools | S3's capabilities, and we can confidently say that it's one of the most versatile and comprehensive control surfaces we've ever gotten our hands on.

Record and monitor right from your control surface

It's more than a powerful control surface - the Pro Tools | S3 is equipped with a 4-in/6-out AVB audio interface, allowing you to record and monitor with no additional audio interface required. In fact you can even use the Pro Tools | S3 like a traditional console, using the audio ins and outs strictly as a monitor section with control over volume, dim, cut, and sum to mono. This effectively makes the Pro Tools | S3 equal parts control surface, audio interface, and mixer, creating the perfect solution for producers, mix engineers, and musicians.

Uses premium components from the S6 console

You'll know you've invested in quality as soon as you get your hands on the Pro Tools | S3 control surface. It uses the same faders, knobs, buttons, OLEDs and color-coding system as Avid's flagship S6 console. You'll have the world-class feel, resolution, and feedback that you need to handle any mixing task with ease.
