Avid Dock is a compact and powerful control surface designed to streamline your audio and video post-production workflow. Inspired by the functionality of Avid's flagship S6, it offers a hybrid of tactile control and touchscreen versatility when paired with the free Pro Tools | Control app on iPad (iPad not included). This gives users the precision of a physical interface with the flexibility of a digital one.
It features one motorized, touch-sensitive fader that mirrors track selection and automation in your DAW, along with eight touch-sensitive rotary encoders that offer hands-on control of pan, EQ, dynamics, and plug-in parameters. The dedicated jog wheel and transport controls allow for intuitive navigation through sessions, making editing faster and more precise.
Sixteen soft keys and two programmable touch strips allow users to assign and trigger key commands and macros for increased efficiency. The Dock also includes visual feedback with color-coded track attention and automation indicators, giving editors real-time information at a glance.
Powered by the high-speed EUCON protocol, Avid Dock offers deep integration with Pro Tools and Media Composer, as well as third-party DAWs like Logic Pro, Cubase, and Nuendo. It automatically switches focus based on the active application, ensuring a seamless experience across multiple creative tools.
Whether used standalone or alongside the Avid S1 control surface, Avid Dock delivers scalable, professional-grade control that enhances mixing, editing, and creative workflows in any modern studio environment.
