However, the depth of the d-control does concern me a bit. So I would be about the same distance from my speakers with the d-control as I am with the d-command. So a 16 fader d-control is actually less wide and would allow for the d-control to push up pretty close to my speaker stands. I have a producer desk on the right side of my d-command that has my keyboard mouse and monitor on it. The one positive aspect of the d-control for me is the width. I do know of one d-control in my area and hopefully I can get some time in front of it That’s one of the details that’s making wait for now. Yes size is definitely a concern that I’m looking into. I currently go back and forth between a PT10 system and PT12 system and at some point will probably just sit on wherever they end support. There also the question of how much longer Avid will continue to support the ICON line. So all that being said is it worth it? Are there any other D-command users having similar thoughts? or D-Control users that don't think it's worth the upgrade? Anyone want to talk me out of it? I mostly only use plugins that map well to the eq and dynamics sections (Avid, Sonnox, PluginAlliance) but it would be nice to have more encoders to create custom maps for specific plugs. It seems like the extra encoders on channel strips and the expanded eq and dynamics section would be a great improvement in flexibility. It has been a way more pleasant pro tools experience Also, having VCA spill and eq and dynamics control makes for so much less mouse/screen time. I mostly mix music and the quick access to the automation features is such a huge part of my work flow now that I really miss using pro tools with out it. I've been on the D-command for about 3 years and have really loved the experience with it. Wanted to get your thoughts on doing an upgrade from a 24 fader D-command to a 16 fader D-Control.I've noticed that D-Control prices have been dropping pretty quickly recently.
