Avid Control User Reviews

Top reviews

Works for every DAW except Pro Tools

When Pro Tools is up, this app shows a blank screen with transport buttons on the bottom. It’s broken in Pro Tools but works fine with Logic Pro

It’s Newbs that hate on this app

Learn how to use Pro Tools and EU control and this app is amazing. I know pro tools can be confusing hence “Pro” in the name.

Unbelievably Useful

This is a PRO level app that is easy and approachable. I use it daily in the creation of major streaming series and movies. This FREE app is a quite reasonable substitute for the VERY expensive S6 Console I use at the studio. I actually feel a bit guilty that i can do so much from a simple tablet.

Completely broken on iPad OS 18

Updated recently and now avid control with no long connect to EUCON using the Avid Dock. Please Fix ASAP.

wont work with 2024 PT and 2021 iPad…

Never connects. Troubleshoot for hours, still won’t connect. Everything is up to date and compatible.

Unreliable at best

When it works it’s decent…but it’s just too unreliable and you can’t depend on it…It seems like when there’s an update to ProTools you can pretty much count it breaking things with Avid control …it’s seems like the whole Eucontrol app is always lagging behind ProTools as far as updates go. Tbh this app has put me off of investing in any Avid hardware controllers …I completely understand why it has such a low rating on the AppStore

Not true...it will work with your version of Pro Tools perfectly fine. Sure, you won't get the features from the latest pro tools but I'm sure this is obvious.

Easy and Powerful

I have a Mac Book Pro and and iPad and iPhone. It was easy to download. Yes, you need to download and install EuControl but the entire process of setting this up took me 20 minutes. Everything worked smoothly and it was easy to bring the power of working in Pro Tools to my other devices. I had no problems at all, just was patient and watched two videos to get all the settings I needed, including setting up the time-saving soft keys in EuControl that show up in the Avid Control app. Love it!

Of course

I didn’t have high hopes for this to work and it doesn’t. Avid really doesn't focus on the project, home studio market anymore. I don’t blame them. The big format studios and commercial studio markets are booming businesses these days. What is wrong with that company? Product manager should be sent packing.

Please read the 5 start reviews. It needs EuControl and a EUCON DAW to work.

Decent app….poor instructions

The app itself isn’t bad for a free app at all tbh…..the problem is bad instructions on Avids part….Ive been using it off and on the past 4 years and the biggest issue has been setting it up and Avid needs to do a step by step VIDEO on setting it up as it always seems to change….for instance the latest version of ProTools has changed how you enable Eucon and I had zero help getting it set up with instructions from Avid but a Facebook user forum helped me set it up…..I believe this app would get a much higher rating if there were a little more effort on Avids part as far as instructions go

Worked for 1 week then broke my heart

You gotta think that at some point we’re gonna look back at all this mismatched incompatibility software nonsense and just cry a river of tears. Why are we still dealing with these issues? Why is avid so far behind? How come things work for a few days and then things update and nothing works anymore and why am I still writing the same types of reviews 25 years after the first one? will nothing ever change? Will I live a life as a frustrated artist where none of the software garbage works? Just so fed up. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so tired of being in the moment of inspiration and having to drop what I’m doing and deal with avid. I just hate this company so much. I don’t even know how to describe it. They are the antithesis of creativity in the enemy of inspiration. Nothing ever works… there’s always some bug and there’s always some update that makes this entire system break down like a house of cards. I can’t describe my frustrations with this company without wanting to smash up their hardware and my phone.

Either the App auto updated and you didn't update EuControl or you updated EuControl and not the App
