  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Wave or Euphonix?

Adding MC Transport to MC Color adds a lot and MC Transport feels so much better than the jog on the MC Color.

Storm supports MC color and supporting Wave soon, or maybe it was supported on 1.03 release.
 
Just received Resolve last week.
To date I cant get it to work with the MC Color (Avid/Euphonix).
Anyone else using this unit with Resolve 8?
 
Hi Eric,

Did you install the latest Eucon 2.6 from Avid's website?

Also remember to choose the panel in Resolve Preferences if you have not already done so.

Regards,
Rohit

Thanks Im downloading 2.6 now. I had 2.5.7 prior.
Im sure itll work now :)

Again thanks!
 
wave is lower cost, and it gets the job done, but everything bad people say about it is true, lol. I use it, it gets the job done, it gets me through my work. But I'm def gonna be trading it in for a Euphonix someday. or just take the wave on set for RCX one lights, and leave the euphonix for all the heavy lifting.

we would have gone with the Wave but my the studio desk wasnt deep enough. So far this Artist Color aka MC Color is fitting well. Now to learn Resolve ;)
 
I had to enable, disable, and re enable the Artist Color in Resolve 8 to get mine to work.

As a side note, I just realized today that with the Artist Color in RCX you get a 4 bank grade memory instead of one. Nice bonus.
 
Another point worth mentioning here is that the Wave will slide snugly into a 2U rack space while the MC Color is too wide. This was the deciding factor for me as I only use it on set.
 
For me the most important is the transport section of the wave. Can you use euphonic artist transport control?. Or any other control in the market to do that?, no only playback. I use a lot the wipe between memory and playback with the transport wheel.
The only problem that i find with waves is that i can't personalize it, like with color. This is the only feature that i need for waves + resolve.

Yeh, a lot of people complain about the ergonomics the most. The thing is just a bit wacky, and the super plastic make of it doesn't make it feel like it should be worth more than a 100 bux. but again, it works, and I've had no hiccups at all when it comes to functionality. Going for a Euphonix later this year, really feel no need to trade up as of yet. But i feel you with how deep the device goes, it sits awkwardly at my work station as is.
 
So far this thread has been helpful for this newbie :)
Im just starting on Resolve and havent gone deep yet.
I might have to call tech support for a few things bugging e.g. Master Sessions not saving, users not saving etc...
If anyone else is on the same boat as I am, Ill start a new thread and of course itll be RED centric ;)
 
Hi Eric,

I would recommend contacting our support with logs. It is important to capture the logs immediately after you have the issue, and if you can also send an exported project, that would be useful.

You can capture logs using CaptureLogs.app at /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/

And email it to davincihelp (at) blackmagic-design.com

Our support team will sort it out for you!

Regards,
Rohit
 
This thread has been very informative. It seems euphonic is the way to go.

I'm a little confused by the DaVinci panels.

I played with one a bit at Henninger in Arlington VA. Its really nice, I like it. Lots of useful buttons ... and I like the fourth wheel/ring. I kind of lust after it.

It doesn't seem $28,400 better than a Euphonix MC Color though. I could understand if it was maybe $6000 tops, but even then I'd question the value compared to the Euphonix Artist system.

Is there some extra magic in the system I'm not aware of? I mean, there isn't a GPU or two in there or anything is there? Does it make sales calls for you? Is there a a cute barista tucked inside that provides me with espresso on demand?

OK, I'm trying to be funny, but seriously ... why are these worth so much?

All pro panels are expensive. I think the new Baselight 2 panel is something like $70k. They all expensive, because they usually handmade in very small quantities...
