Re: if the rumours are right this is what I want

Hi Sascha

I'm in the market for a good panel to use with Resolve, I know the proper Resolve panel is the perfect choice, but I can't afford the price, I can't wait to see what NAB brings

I just sold my 2 year old tangent wave and was considering the Avid artist color instead, didn't like the feel of the knobs and levels controls, specially the rubber knobs for lift, gamma, gain that kept rubbing the surface when I used them, I kept adjusting their height but decided to move on.

I've spoken to a few Euphonix Mc Color users and they seem happy with the panel, I didn't know there were unreliability issues with the Eucon protocol, some simply map direct from within avid

I originally had my hopes up for the Element, but not sure if this will ever be supported, could you elaborate on the feel of the element, the feel and response of the trackballs, the transport controller, what software did you test it with.

I agree that BMD should come up with they own mid range panel, I can see them selling way more mid range panels rather than the $30,000, though the big facilities would still go for the bigger panel, they already do, I just don't see new big facilities popping up any more, instead disappearing, so moving forward a smaller more affordable panel is the way to go

The point I was trying to make is that the Avid Color and Control together can be a very powerful system with the right mapping and the ability to customize your own, and both units together cost under $4000
