The new Artist Series MC Mix brings the unparalleled speed,
resolution and DAW integration of Euphonix’ high-end professional
consoles to your studio in a revolutionary ergonomic, slim-line
design. The MC Mix easily fits into any studio, sitting perfectly
between a computer keyboard and screen, and multiple units can
be connected to create a larger, integrated control surface.
The MC Mix lets you effortlessly switch between multiple
applications and even workstations at the touch of a button–
the touch-sensitive knobs, motorized faders, and high-resolution
OLED displays automatically set themselves to whatever application
is in the foreground to provide immediate access to multi-format
metering, plug-in parameters, EQ curves and much more.
Most importantly, Euphonix has worked closely with the world’s
leading software developers like Apple, Steinberg, MOTU, Apogee
and others to deeply integrate native support for Euphonix’ EuCon
control protocol into their DAWs to deliver an unmatched editing
and mixing experience.
