A professional engineer and composer, Alex has actually been using this setup for the past 2 years in his work, and has kindly agreed to give his opinion on Icon&#8217;s cost-effective DAW controllers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It almost, at the end of the day, feels like you\u2019re mixing on an old-school analogue console,&#8221; says Alex. &#8220;Like an SSL, or a Neve or something like that. It\u2019s just a fabulously intuitive and fast workflow, it saves so much time from not having to sit there with your mouse and find all those tiny little knobs on-screen, fiddly little pan controls and stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can almost turn off your screens altogether once you\u2019ve got your session arranged, and just mix exactly as you would mix on an analogue console. It\u2019s just so much faster [than using a mouse], you just zip through stuff &#8211; you want to solo? You want to mute? You want to pan something around? It\u2019s just phenomenal, I absolutely love it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Check out the video above to find out what Alex thinks about recording, mixing and editing with the Icon QCon Pro X and Pro XS.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/icon\/controllers\/icon-qcon-pro-x\/\">Find out more about the Icon QCon Pro X<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/icon\/controllers\/icon-qcon-pro-xs\/\">Find out more about the Icon QCon Pro XS<\/a>\n<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Icon QCon Pro X &#8211; Take Control Of Your DAW<\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\n<p>The Icon QCon Pro X is a USB-MIDI control surface designed to bring hands-on control to in-the-box recording and mixing. With jog wheel and transport controls, a selection of illuminated buttons, and a 12-LED meter bridge, and of course the 9 motorised, touch-sensitive faders with 10-bit resolution, the QCon Pro X gives you complete, tactile control over your DAW.<\/p>\n<p>With support for all of the most popular Digital Audio Workstations, the included DAW overlays provide you with shortcuts indicators for working with your favourite DAW. You can even upgrade to one of Icon\u2019s APP panels for a permanently installed, metal shortcut overlay.<\/p>\n<p>As the flagship in the range, the QCon Pro X also features a large meter bridge for keeping an eye on your levels from afar. 12 LED\u2019s on each channel provide the usual green, amber and red lighting system to let you know when you\u2019re hitting your mics or inputs too hard.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/icon\/controllers\/icon-qcon-pro-x\/\">Find out more about the Icon QCon Pro X<\/a><\/p>\n<\/span>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"padding: 15px; float: right;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Icon-QCon-Pro-XS-Synthax-Audio-UK-811x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Icon QCon Pro XS - Synthax Audio UK\" class=\"wp-image-6427\" width=\"209\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Icon-QCon-Pro-XS-Synthax-Audio-UK-811x1024.jpg 811w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Icon-QCon-Pro-XS-Synthax-Audio-UK-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Icon-QCon-Pro-XS-Synthax-Audio-UK-768x970.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Icon-QCon-Pro-XS-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg 856w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Expand your setup with the Icon QCon Pro XS<\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\n<p>The Icon QCon Pro XS is an 8 channel fader expander, for use in creating a larger, expanded setup alongside the QCon Pro X.<\/p> \n<p>Up to 3 x Qcon Pro XS&#8217;s can be combined for up to 32 channels, with motorised faders and illuminated pan controls, plus buttons for solo, mute and record on every channel.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/icon\/controllers\/icon-qcon-pro-xs\/\">Find out more about the Icon QCon Pro XS<\/a>\n<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Icon Platform Series<\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\n<p>If you like the look of the QCon Pro X, but don\u2019t have the space in your current setup, Icon also released a series of smaller controllers, the Platform Series. Designed to be used where space is at a premium, the Platform M+ and Platform X+ expanders gives you similar options to the QCon Pro X in a smaller and more mobile footprint.<\/p>\n<p>Additional banks of faders can be added via the Platform X+, which again allows for up to 3 units to be connected to a Platform M+, for a total of 32 motorised faders.<\/p>\n<p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/icon\/controllers\/icon-platform-m-plus-daw-controller\/\">Find out more about the Icon Platform M+<\/a>\n<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<center>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Icon-Platform-M-and-Platform-X-DAW-Controllers-Synthax-Audio-UK-1024x305.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14342\" width=\"472.5\" height=\"140.25\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Icon-Platform-M-and-Platform-X-DAW-Controllers-Synthax-Audio-UK-1024x305.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Icon-Platform-M-and-Platform-X-DAW-Controllers-Synthax-Audio-UK-300x89.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Icon-Platform-M-and-Platform-X-DAW-Controllers-Synthax-Audio-UK-768x229.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Icon-Platform-M-and-Platform-X-DAW-Controllers-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg 1162w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/center>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6333\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/New-logo-Icon-Pro-Audio-2017.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 149px) 100vw, 149px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/New-logo-Icon-Pro-Audio-2017.jpg 1772w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/New-logo-Icon-Pro-Audio-2017-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/New-logo-Icon-Pro-Audio-2017-768x255.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/New-logo-Icon-Pro-Audio-2017-1024x340.jpg 1024w\" alt=\"Icon Pro Audio Logo - Synthax Audio UK\" width=\"149\" height=\"50\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">If you\u2019d like to know more about Icon\u2019s DAW Controllers, give us a call on <a>01727 821 870<\/a> to speak to one of our team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">You can also <a title=\"Get in contact with Synthax Audio UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/contact-us\/\">contact us here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consordini.com&#8217;s Alex Scott reviews the Icon QCon Pro X and QCon Pro XS fader expanders See more videos at Synthax TV &nbsp; Icon QCon Pro X &#8211; ALL IN Review Recording website Consordini.com&#8217;s Alex Scott has put together a review of the Icon QCon Pro X control surface and QCon Pro XS fader expanders.
