Hey Uncle Dave. This controller series is a gold mine of knowledge. Thanks for your effort. I know this is and old review but the current version of Icon's DAW controllers are really special. I'm talking SSL UF8 special for a fraction of the price.

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 9 месяцев назад

The SSL UF8 is the best in its class although its the most expensive for sure

@mikehalmajan7283 2 года назад

Hi Dave, I am using Luna with a UA X16 interface and a satellite. Would the QCon work with my setup? And also which DAW is the QCon setup for from the factory right out of the box? I would appreciate any advice, thank you 😊

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 2 года назад

I don't think this will work with Luna.

I've been using a 25 fader (24+master) Icon Platform control rig since January. I agree with you. The only control surfaces on the market that are potentially even on par with the Icon lines are the exponentially more expensive Avid S series controllers. The Icon Platform series, the smallest in their lineup, retains all of the build quality and most of the functionality of even the flagship Qcon Pro X series. It's amazing! If I had the desk space, I'd have the Qcons. There have been some similarly modular controllers in the past. Mackie had one back in the day that, I'd guess, Icon took some design ques from, as well as the extremely popular Avid Artist series controllers. On the lower end, there was Behringer with a decent modular offering some years ago as well. Currently, Icon is indeed the best on the market for non-Pro Tools users and the best under $20K.

Thanks for the info and for watching!

Mackie MCU Pro has extensions I have one with two extensions I’d like to see you d. Video on it

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Год назад

Ok, thank you

@kadiummusic 2 года назад

Can you run the Icon QCon ProX in tandem with an SSL UC1 and would they snyc? i.e. if I changed a channel on the Icon would it change the channel on the UC1?

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 2 года назад

I have no idea. That is a question for Icon

@ShadohKotn Год назад

If you ever find this out don't forget to drop a comment. Im also curious.

@angermanagementstudios 2 года назад

I’ve had the Pro and three extenders for three years. The jog wheel has a mind of its own sometimes and they STILL haven’t found an actual use for the bottom LCD strip ( in logic) but aside from that it’s been a cracking investment.

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 2 года назад

Thanks for watching!

@TonyPelosi-music 2 месяца назад

My bargraphs never worked well, faders became noisy besides many other issues. The tech support couldn’t fixed after many tryings. So I got rid of them, bought a Behringer , and it was plug&play… not so beautigul, but reliable for pro use

@mikeburstein1146 11 месяцев назад

Mackie MCU does that too, buckets of 8 extender

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 11 месяцев назад

Good to know, thanks!

@mankepoot9440 Год назад

Can you use layers like they use in digital livemixers? I mean modus1 is channel 1-16, modus2 is channel 17-32 etc.

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Год назад

no, I don't believe so

@DavidSJ_DAP 2 года назад

I 100% agree with you on the issues with banking on a surface control...if I have 16 faders in front of me I want my DAW to bank in groups of 16 so I know if I'm on bank 2 I'm looking at tracks 17-32 on my controller AND my screen...anything else means I have to take time to calculate out which tracks correspond to which faders... If I were to suggest one physical change to this controller it would be to separate the main fader from the other 8 on the central unit...I could see myself grabbing that fader by mistake all the time... But in the end, for me at least, my ideal surface controller would be a single fader, the basic transport and channel controls (solo, mute etc) and 12 assignable knobs for plugin control...give me one of those and I will be in forever...

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 2 года назад

All great points. The Console 1 is more for you based on your ideal unit!

@TylerJohnstonGuitar 2 года назад

Dave! Just stumbled across your channel, it looks like the studio’s come a long way since my lessons.

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 2 года назад

Hey Tyler! Good to see you! Thanks for stopping by!

@annekedebruyn7797 2 года назад

I like how everything is a bit more compact. If you put 3 S1's next to each other, half your room is gone.

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 2 года назад

Good point

Toh, the avid s1 & the doc seemies to be the best.

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 2 года назад

I have never tried the Avid. I just know they a way over priced compared to other units on the market

@jvicdalife Год назад

did it get any better with studio one 6?

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Год назад

No, its the same

@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios 2 года назад

Thank you. I REALLY wish that it was within my affordability range.

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 2 года назад

Icon makes smaller / more affordable control surfaces

@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios 2 года назад

@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy I'll have to find a way... because this is the one I need.

@jonkthompson Год назад

Check Reverb for used consoles. I've picked up some great stuff from there!

@bthellam Год назад

Hey Uncle Dave! Thank you for these videos! I'm just curious because I've watched the Qcon Pro X and Behringer X-Touch video series'. I have the X-Touch and only use Cubase. Which one did you feel worked better with Cubase?

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Год назад

The X-touch is what I would go with.

@bthellam Год назад

@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Thank you, Dave! Much appreciated!

@bthellam Год назад

@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Just wanted to let you know since it looks like they haven't put this on their webpage yet. I had written to Icon just to ask them to clarify the differences between the G2 and Pro X and if they were planning to update the Pro X to be a bit smaller. They answered my question and actually sent me a RU-vid video showing they already produced a new replacement line for all their controllers. You might want to see that video! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZyCE8GenH8o.html
