Pro Tools | S3—Small format, big mix
Create your mix, your way
With EUCON technology at its core, not only can you mix
sessions using Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, and other DAWs,
you can also customize the surface for your task at hand.
Create up to 12 custom mixer layouts and recall them from the
surface at any time—ideal for mixing drums, vocals, dialog,
sound effects, and other groupings. Plus, you can switch
between applications with ease, giving you the choice to work
with what you want—and the capability to take on any project
that comes your way.
Set up a studio in any size space
Whether you’re at home, tucked in a small suite, or on the go,
S3’s compact size, power, and extensive DAW control capabilities
put you in the driver’s seat of your studio—wherever you want it to
be. What’s more, S3 features a built-in 4x6 interface, enabling
you to record, mix, and monitor sessions with just the surface
and your laptop—or monitor audio using S3 standalone—no
additional audio interface required.
Proven and trusted technology
S3 delivers incredible workflow acceleration, highly responsive
handling, and deep DAW integration—all built on proven
technology, trusted by top audio professionals in the most
demanding production environments. The result: you get the
exceptional, dynamic performance you need to deliver the best
sounding mix possible—on time, every time.
