In this video, I explain why I'm selling my Avid S3 for the SSL 360 Controller ECO system. I've been using the Avid S3 for a few years now, and it's a great controller. But I've been thinking about switching to the SSL 360 Controller for a while now, and I finally decided to make the move.
I know that some people might be hesitant to switch to a new controller, but I think the SSL 360 Controller is a great option. It's a well-made controller with a great workflow, and it's part of a growing ecosystem of products and services.

Oh my goodness. I love your kid. It makes me miss my son when he was that old (50 years ago). Geez. It touched my heart. Enjoy these times my friend. They go by so quickly. Love the video. Thank you!

I was already enjoying the vid, great job btw!, but when your son came in absolutely adorable, you switched right into Dad mode. I can totally relate! I have 8 kids from 20 to 2. Cheers to you and all of us good Dads.💪🏿💪🏽💪

I’m doing some studio upgrades before my daughter is born and I did not expect a video about DAW controllers to bring a tear to my eye. Great review and so wholesome - thanks!

You’ve convinced me to work with this kind of a set up! SSL looks great. I would have all the same shortcuts you used as well!
@DurararaX2 10 months ago

The new SSL gear makes me want to rebuild my entire set up. Thank you for sharing this video!

That was a great clip. Ssl is awesome but Hendrix was the star of the show. You are a great dad. Enjoy.

Its tough to mix eco systems. I went through all scenarios had the SSL stuff also. Love SSL they make incredible stuff. BUT when I landed on 2 S1 with cheap tablets as meters and then the Avid Dock with a good tablet (for response time) it turned out to be the best for me. I think the Avid Control Software on the tablet when you can view global track view, quick navigation, etc was the game changer for me. I almost do not even touch the mouse anymore. Its like a cheap S6 with almost similar functionality. Great video thanks for posting it.

Great video, I'm looking forward to adding the UF1 to my UF8 and UC1 setup as well!

I also get rid of Protools years ago, and now with Nuendo combined with the SSL controllers, my workflow skyrocket!
