Ratings and reviews

Great way to integrate with EuCon control on my computer. Makes working on Avid ProTools faster, easier, and more streamlined for me and I know I'm only using a quarter of its functionality so far. It can take some time getting used to. If your network isn't stable connectivity can be an issue.

I'm on the fence still. Updating can be confusing across different devices. And when settings get wiped it can be a hassle to set it up again. Also when devices get disconnected it does become a bit of an inconvenience if it happens frequently. But when it works, it's great.

Avid please develop an app to open and edit ptx files on a phone/android device. I paid for pro tools, but often when on the road, I don't easily have access toy computer and work cloud based off of my phone. Currently do a lot of basic edits in band lab and then export files back and forth using drive...it would make life so much easier if I had something that could let me open and edit, so I can switch between devices without a lot of time spent bouncing files.
