Re: [Avid-L2] Tangent Wave Panel vs Avid Artist Color Surface

 

Just upgraded my avid 'artist' panel for Elements.  In spite of good implementation, the panel is close to useless in media composer / symphony - an issue with the application, not the panel.

(We're moving it to a second Resolve-enabled avid room.)

In resolve I only used the balls and rings- the shortcut keys are not generally faster than using your keyboard.  

 If cash is an issue, second hand tangent wave may be a good choice.   I had one when I first started with resolve, and it wasn't bad.  Pretty fast and big buttons.  I don't like the little buttons on the avid panel.

The element is nice- really enjoying it.  However, BM remapped the keys a little for resolve 10- and, while it seems more 'organized,' there a lot more two and three, even four- key-poke sequences to get to common uses than there was in resolve 9.  Irritating.  I wish they would just make it mappable... Or at least offer multiple configs.

Hope that's some help.

Hi All,

I asked this over on the DS-L and got some great feedback, so I thought I would expand to here and catch all thoughts - I'm looking at these two panels, feeling that the Avid (Euphonix) gives me a larger range of software to use it with, but I thought I would check here to see opinions of both. (Element may be overkill)

I will probably use it primarily in Resolve. If I go with the Avid panel, then there is also DS and Symphony. But really leaning towards getting up to speed in Resolve.

Comments, experiences, personal prefs are all encouraged!

Thanks!
Tom
