Avid has announced a new version of EUCON, the software that gives musicians and professional mixers full hands-on control of a variety of EUCON-enabled Avid and third-party DAWs.

Powered by MediaCentral, version 3.7 of EUCON software delivers several new features and workflow enhancements, giving musicians and professional mixers using Avid control surfaces and Pro Tools or third-party applications greater control and faster workflows.

As an open software protocol, EUCON enables tight integration between Avid control surfaces and Pro Tools, Avid plug-ins, Avid Alliance Partner plug-ins, and third-party digital audio workstations (DAWs). It gives musicians and professional mixers full hands-on control of a variety of EUCON-enabled Avid and third-party DAWs, delivering the tactile control needed to create great sounding mixes faster, and the ability to switch between different DAW sessions in a matter of seconds.

EUCON 3.7 delivers new integrated features and workflow enhancements between Pro Tools software and Pro Tools | S6, Pro Tools | S3, Pro Tools | Dock, Pro Tools | Control and Artist Series. For example, users can cycle through plug-ins faster on Pro Tools | S6 with EQ and DYN cycling, while the VCA Spill feature from Pro Tools | Control provides a faster way of working with multiple VCA-controlled tracks.

EUCON 3.7 is available now and is a free update to all customers with Pro Tools | S3, Pro Tools | Dock, Artist Series control surface, and/or the Pro Tools | Control app, and Pro Tools | S6 customers on valid support contracts.

Until December 31st, 2017, users can save over 25% when purchasing Pro Tools | Dock and Artist Mix together.
