Leave a Review Avid Control
Extremely Useful!
Pro Tools Control is a great extension to Pro Tools. I find it completely useful for remote mixing during a tracking session and of course when you’re in a full mixing session. The Softkeys are really handy shortcuts to widely used options and you have the ability to create your own Sofkeys based on existing EuCon commands or keyboard keystrokes as well.
Its setup is pretty simple. Download and Install EuControl from your avid account, Enable EuCon in Pro Tools under Peripherals/Network and then install and run Pro Tools Control on your iPad.
If you pair Pro Tools Control with the Pro Tools Dock you get a really nice tactile control surface.Show lessAnt A.
EDIT: Amazing on 5G! OLD: Fickle connection makes good idea bad
EDIT: Turns out I needed to RTFM. In the fine print it states that using a 5G network is far superior, and I agree. Once I switched, every connectivity issue I had was gone and I was left with just a really great app. The EUCON soft key software needs attention as it doesn’t have simple stuff like “copy soft key” for building your own pages but that’s a minor slowdown.
OLD: When it connects, I love it. But it can take so many hoops to make it connect that it’s near unusable. At this point it just slows me down.Show lessPetersrin

I don’t understand why some people are having a hard time installing. Maybe they have crappy Wifi?
1. Install and register the app on your iPad
2. Log in to your avid account and ‘Pro tools control and eucontrol’ show up under your products (manual is there too)
3. Install desktop utility
Adds great remote and quick key functions.Show lessluna_sea
This is GREAT - don’t believe the negative reviews
Honestly I can’t understand the negative reviews in here. I use this app ALL the time with my ProTools setup. Sometimes I’m using it along with S6, sometimes with the Dock and sometimes just as an extension to ProTools itself. I have used it with iPad Air, Air2, Pro (last year) and it’s even better now with my new iPad Pro 11”.
My favorite feature is using it for soft key control - things like Memory locations, Window configs. Etc.
Also - hint - if WiFi is a problem you can use Lightning / USB-C to USB-A adapter then connect Ethernet adapter and.... YAY! Wired networking super fast.
This is a serious tool that totally enhances your ProTools experience and I would definitely encourage people to try it out. Oh - and did I mention it’s FREE!!!! A HUGE enhancement to the ProTools experience right here.Show lessstudiojon
Works on latest (non-Pro) iPad
I was a little worried with the previous reviews, but it seems this app works just fine with Pro Tools Ultimate on the 6th generation iPad (released 2018, not the Pro one).djzmusic
Junk
Doesn’t even connect anymore. Updates are supposed to make software work BETTER, right? The only reason this could be useful is if you need to remotely control pro tools from another room. Otherwise, I just use a physical control surface. Speaking of which, those are buggy, too. Avid ruined Pro Tools.Show lessbuukyak
What’s going on?
Just got back from Bestbuy bought a new iPad just for this App and it’s not working. I downloaded Eucontrol and tried an earlier version. Can anyone contact me and let me know what’s going on? Worst part is my iPad shows up available but a pop up comes up saying it’s not compatible. Really upset. :(

Complete Waste Of Time!
I never write reviews, but I felt it necessary to warn others before they fall down the same rabbit hole that I did attempting to make this app work. I should have listened to the other terrible reviews. Instead, I just wasted seven hours trying to make this horrible app work. First, on my 12” IPad Pro, then on my older IPad Air 2. After about two hours I read that the IPad Pro is not supported - amazing, considering how long it’s been out. I viewed a demo marketing piece that showed the app running on the IPad Pro, yet the latest “how to” propaganda from Avid states that the IPad Pro is not supported. I could not even get the Eucon icon too appear on my IMac. Don’t bother until Avid fixes this mess.Show lessEdward100

These are supported. The 12" is not supported on the Pro Tools Dock because of its size but runs the Control App fine. Visit http://duc.avid.com/forumdisplay.php?f=152 for help setting it up.Used to work with 12.9” iPad Pro, now it’s not compatible??
I had the ability to control everything I needed for tracking in PT remotely from behind the drum kit or in the vocal booth, and then somewhere along the way I update PT to the next version (I have a perpetual license), and it suddenly doesn’t work with my 12.9” iPad Pro anymore?? And Avid admits it’s currently not compatible with the bigger iPad Pro (the flagship of the iPads)?? Why would you ever update a product in a way that would adversely affect or remove pre-existing functionality that many of us deem critical on a top-of-the-line device where it previously worked flawlessly?? Has anyone heard of regression testing over there?? What really stings though is that I’m paying Avid for these regular updates, and in return I’m being forced to take a step backwards due to either incompetence or a lack of understanding/caring about their customers’ needs. Truly disappointing, which is apparently becoming the norm at Avid these days.Show lessMinglah

It does work with the 12.9" iPad. Its not compatible with the Pro Tools Dock because of its size though. Please visit http://duc.avid.com/forumdisplay.php?f=152 for assistance if needed.Updates ruining a great thing
I had just gotten everything set up and was walking around wireless monitoring all my inputs and using transport controls from the drums... For two days. Then the update happened and my iPad automatically updated the app and of course it no longer works. Is it possible to have the option of older versions for us who can't afford new iPads every few years? Seriously, I keep up with basically everything else, a simple option would make everything better for many people. Just think about avid....Show lessdavis.a.kyle
