DESCRIPTION
Based on the award-winning Pro Tools | S6, Pro Tools | S3
is a compact,
EUCON-enabled, ergonomic desktop control surface that offers a
streamlined yet versatile mixing solution for the modern sound engineer.
Like S6, S3 delivers intelligent control over every aspect of Pro Tools
and other DAWs, but at a more affordable price. While its small form
factor makes it ideal for space-confined or on-the-go music and post
mixing, it packs enormous power and accelerated mixing efficiency for
faster turnarounds, making it the perfect fit everywhere, from project
studios to the largest, most demanding facilities.
Take complete control of your studio
Experience the deep and versatile DAW control that only Avid can
deliver. With its intelligent, ergonomic design and full EUCON support, S3
puts tightly integrated recording, editing, and mixing control at your
fingertips, enabling you to work smarter and faster—with your choice of
DAWs—to expand your mixing capabilities and job opportunities. And because S3
is application-aware, you can switch between different DAW sessions in
seconds. Plus, its compact footprint fits easily into any space, giving you full
reign of the “sweet spot.”
Work smarter and faster
S3 combines traditional console layout design with the proven
advancements of Pro Tools | S6, ensuring highly intuitive operation,
regardless of your experience level. From record-enabling, soloing, and
muting tracks, to editing plug-ins, recalling snapshots, and automating
mixes, you get the tactile control you need to create great sounding mixes
faster—with much more precision than working with a keyboard and mouse alone.
Plus, when paired with Pro Tools, you gain the advantage of faster workflows
and unique features that accelerate your efficiency every step of the way. If
you know Pro Tools, you’ll feel right at home with S3.
Experience exceptional integration,
ergonomics, and visual feedback
No other surface offers the level of DAW integration and
versatility that Avid control surfaces provide, and S3 is no different. Its
intuitive controls feel like an extension of your software, enabling you to
mix with comfort, ease, and speed, with plenty of rich visual feedback to
guide you.
