Full monitoring control, ICON-style scroll, and Intelligent Attention workflows enable users to deliver superior mixes faster

BURLINGTON, Mass., May 9, 2019 — Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) today announced the immediate availability of a new version of EUCON software. The update introduces enhanced functionality to all Avid audio control surfaces, including Pro Tools® | S6, Pro Tools | S3, Pro Tools | Dock, and Artist™ Mix, as well as Pro Tools | Control, Avid’s free iOS iPad app. It includes new monitoring control, ICON-style scroll and Intelligent Attention workflows, allowing customers to deliver superior mixes even faster.
