Awesome. Glad the video helped out. Yea, it's a lot easier!

Cool, glad it helped!

Yep, part of the goal was to build the layouts with Avid Control, as opposed to using EuControl. I feel it's much easier.

Hey, Andy, thanks for checking out my vids... Are you doing a folder spill (double tapping the SEL button) ? If you're doing a folder spill, the Folder track should populate the 8th channel on the S1. Are you seeing that? If double tapping the SEL button on the folder track is not doing it then you can try holding the surface Shift button, top left, and pressing the first button down on the lower left. (Also Shift, but different). That should bring you to the default layout (provided you have not made custom layouts) which should set all the channels to auto- assigned. Additionally you can try pressing both Nudge buttons are the same time. That should close the folder spill too.

​@@antslivesound Hi. Thanks. That was a big help.

@@andywickett22 awesome. Glad it helped.

@@anthonyanzalone Spoke too soon. I don't know what I did but I can't close the Drums folder now no matter what I try. Even double clicking on the pro tools folder icon doesn't close it.

@@andywickett22 there are two things that can possibly be happening here. 1. You're doing a folder spill by double tapping the SEL button on the S1 (what I was talking about previously), or you're Opening and Closing the folders from within Pro Tools or using the folder soft keys. If you're toggling the folder open and closed then on your keyboard try SHIFT + F (I think that's the keyboard shortcut for opening and closing folders) You can tell the difference because when you open and close a folder in Pro Tools the tracks will collapse down and you will only see the folder track.

And also, can you have more than 8 tracks in a layout if you have 1 avid s1? So basically, can you bank through tracks within a layout?

Thanks for checking out the video. So Ya, if you have multiple S1's you'll be able to create layouts with more channels. So if you have 2 S1's then you can have up to 16 channels in a layout and so on.... Hope that helps.

At the current time, no. You're bound by the amount of channels/faders. That could change in the future. For instance. Their flagship S6 is not bound by channel count. You can bank through larger layouts. So, who knows. 👍

@@antslivesound aaah i see I suppose vca/folder spill lets you bank through channels? Since you are spilling all tracks grouped to a vca fader? I have well get having multiple tracks on an 8 channel surface update Will you make more videos that go in depth on the s1 and dock?

Yes, VCA and Folder spill will let you bank through all of the included channels. Is there anything in particular you'd like me to cover?

Hmm, do you have your control surface connected, and is it visible and allocated in EuControl?

@@anthonyanzalone yeah it’s super weird! Everything is running and my session is up. I was able to do it in eucon but not through avid control

Hmm, that is weird. What version of Avid Control are you using?

@@antslivesound the most recent one. I actually had just downloaded it that day. Eucon and everything is up to date

An iPad is all you need to do many things. I always advocate for trying Avid Control first before buying any control surface. It's free and may very well suit your needs. At a later point, if you feel like you want some more tactile control, then you can figure out if you really want the transport controls, or simply more faders.

Hi Pierre, thanks for watching. I know what you're looking for but layouts are for the control surface only. I'm not sure about Nuendo, but in PT there is a way of grouping tracks, then you can show/hide the tracks on the screen based on the group. PT also has folder tracks, which can be collapsed and opened to show/hide it's member tracks on the screen. I hope maybe these concepts can help you in Nuendo.

@@antslivesound Thanks for your reply. I arrange some macros in my Metagrid Pro app. Now I am able to show/ hide track types and f.e. Drum tracks, Drums with Bass etc. And it works now in arrange window of Nuendo and with my S3s. Avid Control sw does not working this way.

Cool!, There may be a way to make Avid Control show hide the tracks too. Check the EuControl preferences.

@@antslivesound Really? I try it, thanks

@@antslivesound So I figured out, that Avid Control show/ hide tracks... but only on S1 or Artist mix surfaces (which I have). Not on daw (PT, Nuendo)... Or I missed something?
