Compact 8-fader control surface for Pro Tools and other audio/video apps (formerly Euphonix MC Mix) now supports Avid ProTools 9 and Avid Media Composer 5.5 - for both Mac and Windows.

Take your mixing to a new level with Artist Mix, a sleek control surface that gives you the feel and deep software integration of a professional console at a more affordable price. Mix with a level of speed and control simply not possible when mixing with just a mouse. And get fast access to a variety of software functions right from the surface to adjust audio levels, plug-in parameters, panning, automation modes, and much more—with excellent visual feedback—all in a compact footprint that fits perfectly between your keyboard and screen.

Artist Mix features EUCON (Extended User Control), a high-speed open control protocol that has been adopted by many of the world's leading software developers. Pro Tools, Media Composer, Apple Logic, Apple Final Cut Pro, Steinberg Cubase, and many other applications support EUCON™, giving you highly responsive control over almost all software functions. You gain a tightly connected experience in which the control surface acts and feels like a physical extension of your software.

Mix with precision

Get accurate and smooth mixing control through eight high-quality, motorized, touch-sensitive, 100mm long throw faders. Easily select tracks for editing just by touching the corresponding fader. Use the “Fader Flip” function to tweak plug-in parameters with the faders—perfect for filter sweeps. Bank tracks (eight at a time) or nudge tracks (one at a time) using dedicated keys that help you navigate through your project. You can even lock individual tracks to faders and store them as Layouts, which are saved with your project for easy recall (up to 48 per project), making mixing large projects a breeze. Save multiple Layouts to mix drums, keyboards, guitars, and so on, or just lock a fader to act as a master fader.

Adjust parameters with a twist

Control everything from panning and gain to plug-in parameters, EQ settings, and more using the eight touch-sensitive rotary encoders, with instant positional feedback displayed on the high-resolution OLED displays. With the touch-sensitivity, you can write automation quickly and intuitively. The encoders are also velocity-sensitive, enabling you to quickly sweep from minimum to maximum parameter values in one turn, or make very precise adjustments by turning the encoder slowly. Press the encoder tops to instantiate plug-ins, sends, and more, as well as navigate through parameters.

View feedback in high resolution

Easily view track names/numbers, detailed metering data (from mono to 5.1 surround), parameter names/values, current automation mode, and more through eight 128 x 64-pixel OLED displays. Get instant feedback about the item you’re modifying the moment you move the corresponding rotary encoder.

Customize your control surface

Because Artist Series controllers are modular, you can combine them in a variety of configurations to suit your workflow. Customize your Artist Series system with up to one Artist Control, four Artist Mixes, one Artist Transport, and one Artist Color for total flexibility—up to 36 faders total. Simply clip the units together to form a seamless surface—or use them separately—as each has its own Ethernet connection.

Pro Tools 9

With Pro Tools 9, featuring EUCON integration, you can take comprehensive control over your DAW. Simply install the EuControl software, choose Ethernet Controllers from the Pro Tools Setup > Peripherals menu, and you're ready to go. If you’re using an older version of Pro Tools, the Artist Series also supports the HUI control protocol, giving you much more responsive control through Ethernet than standard HUI controllers that use MIDI.

Artist Mix features in Pro Tools 9:

Media Composer

Give your mouse a break and take full tactile control of Media Composer 5.5 and higher with Artist Mix, which offers high-resolution faders and encoders to make keyframing and panning easier than ever. Simply install the EuControl software, attach your Artist Mix, and choose EUCON from the Media Composer’s Settings > Controller Settings menu.
