And the HP amp itself appeared to be pretty decent. So that xmon/D headphone amp that derives its signal from your (on some interfaces) better quality line outs vs the interface's built in HP socket appeared, from memory, to send a very clear signal back. It seems to just forward that to D-Command, not sure if the headphone amp is in the D or in the Xmon itself though, but will assume in the D not that it matters. The ICON Headphone socket feed, comes back up the control cable (that goes between D and Xmon), so it's sent internally from Xmon, tapping into I guess the same decent quality that your interface analog outs are sending into Xmon analog ins. Yeah, back when I had a different audio interface with a less decent headphone amp built in, I'm sure the on-board D-Command headphone socket was sounding more detailed and revealing vs the interface HP out. I have very little issue with current ITB/PT summing quality but if Xmon can do this I just find it interesting ) This isn't a question about the pros/cons of summing mixers, just if the Xmon itself contains the ability to, correctly (ie no phase or noise issues), sum in much the same way as a dedicated summing mixing (i.e Dangerous 2Bus LT) and would/does it give any sense of depth/seperation vs what spendy/'real' SM's apparently do (I've never used a summing mixer and have my doubts vs just using some good hardware on the mix bus or tracking with some nice pres/eqs/comps etc. Obviously if using a hardware mix bus (comp/eq) that could also be factored in. could it actually prove detrimental to the sound routing through Xmon and back in again, then back into convertors vs just sticking in the box Would it even be worthwhile (Is Xmon doing anything less than what a dedicated 'summing mixer' does - other than only have 4 stereo pairs instead of 8/16 as is typical on real summing mixers)ģ.

One owner, professional non smoking studio environment, wh. This ICON D-Control is in excellent fully functioning clean condition. The 16 channel Fader Module has been sold and is not included. Does the above make any sense in what I'm saying?Ģ. Digidesign/Avid Icon D Control This listing is for the Main Unit master section only. To use it like a summing mixer, albeit limited, you could send say all drums+bass to 'main' input, all vox to st 1, all guitars/keys to st 2 and all FX to st 4 then recombine them via xmon + Dcommand switches back to stereo.ġ. You can 'sum' main, and stereo 1,2 & 3 (with the sum button on D-Command on + all 4 sources lit) to the main output (going to monitors) or indeed through alt/other outputs from xmon (to then route them back into your interface's A>D to recapture the 'summed' mix). I may be reading things wrong here, but are you, or others here, saying you can (with the right mindset and possibly using it how it wasn't designed) use the Xmon as a 4 x stereo input summing mixer? (as well as a monitor controller). X-mon and ICON and the integration between them is just great and to me the sound quality is as good as the D-Box. Sold it when I got the ICON and haven´t regret it a bit. D-Command's intuitive console layout includes a centralized Main Unit for fast access to essential functions.I had a Dangerous D-Box before a got my D-Control. The ergonomic design of D-Command enables control through the channel strips and includes LCD display, LED ring, and bar-graph meters for visual feedback. Each channel strip features a touch-sensitive motorized fader, two multi-purpose rotary encoders, and multiple push buttons for quick access to key session parameters.

With D-Command, operators have powerful hands-on command over every aspect of a Pro Tools project, including recording, editing, mixing, and processing - with integrated video and delivery - from a relatively small, but expandable, work surface.Įquipped with eight channel faders, D-Command is expandable to 24 faders by adding a single 16-channel Fader Module.

As with the flagship large-format ICON D-Control console, D-Command utilizes Pro Tools|HD Accel as its DSP mix engine and Pro Tools|HD interfaces and peripherals for system I/O.
