I just got the desktop console, finally, and it's a high quality unit-- great faders, terrific LCD scribble strip and metering. Transport seems to work well. Install was a bit of a mystery.
You have to run the Davinci Control Panels Setup app before it will work. There is no documentation that tells you this.
Main issue so far-- It doesn't look like you can set the individual clip levels from the board. You can only ride the channel fader. This needs to be implemented. Clip levels are how most editors are going to mix. When you select a channel on the board, it should make active the clip that corresponds to that channel at that point in time and allow you to write a level set or change on the clip. That is how Davinci instructors are telling you to mix, why isn't the very expensive hardware working that way, too?
The idea behind the panel is to get you to stop making microscopic keyframes and riding levels. We need to be able to do this on the timeline, or what's the point?
I can't find a manual anywhere that explains it, either.
Build is really nice. It's a great start.
EDIT: The zoom control with the scroll wheel doesn't seem to work, either, at least in Edit mode. It does work on the Fairlight page.
