Just started working on the S6 after having been on an Icon for the past 10 years or so....
Immediately my first thought is that EQing on the Icon blows away the S6 thanks to its dedicated 21 knob EQ section. There's just no comparison as far as speed and ease of use goes. ...toggling through the functions of the Master Module's outer 8 knobs is just so slow and cumbersome by comparison.
Since the Master Module is a touch screen, I don't understand why the GUI of the active plugin isn't displayed on it, allowing you to then custom map any parameter to the knobs. Can we hope to see this function in the future?
I'm also wondering how to get the Attention Track Fader on the Automation Module to follow my selected track in Pro Tools? I use the "Link Track and Edit Selection" option all the time and there must be a way to automatically "Attention" the currently selected track in Pro Tools to that fader. On the Icon you could focus a track on the Focus Channel Strip in a number of ways directly from Pro Tools.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Next, while the soft key section is nice, adding custom soft keys is seriously annoying. On the Icon, all you had to do was hold the command key and press any key on the console to add that function to your custom user list. Does the S6 have this feature?
So far I'm very much missing my Icon.....I miss the EQ and Dynamics sections, the zoom/navigate section, and the annoyances I described above are really grating on me. While the product claims to be a console that "delivers the performance you need to complete projects faster" I'm worried that the reality is that I will actually be working much slower going forward.
