This was a great video! I think I'll try to replace my faceplates (I have two Artist Mix units) before I attempt to replace the faders myself (which I hear can work, but is a nightmare of a repair). Still, if I just need to clean out the inside and change faceplates, I'll save tons of cash.
Hi, the units just sat floating in the desk at the time. That desk had dimensions cut out for these units with a little cable slot. It was a DYI desk. Nowadays there's desks that come pre-cut for these kind of units.
Been looking to get the replacement faceplates but its not available anywhere. AVID should just release the design moulds for Chinese manufacturers to produce.. and then mass produce.
Hi! Try looking for the Unified Workstation software. I think you can find this on the avid site. That will workout the compatibly issue. Good luck mate.
to be honest the black one looks better to me the other one looks more plastic silver then alu. also is it plastic ? since the crack wont be happening in alu :)

Cool vid! It actually looks better in black.
I might end up painting the whole desk black as well, so outboard gear will blend in nicely.

Hi Aldo … could you please show us how you mounted your Artist Mix into your desk.

Hi great video. Where can I buy a replacement faceplate ?
Ciao, I got mine from Ebay. About 30,- Uk pounds. Gr,
@@AldoSpadaroOfficial Thank for your video Aldo. Do you have any website link to buy a Avid faceplate? I don't find anyone
@@nicolasluchidid u find any available?
I was hoping to find one too
@@EvLoutonian unfortunately no...
Thanks for this video. Very helpful! Question: do the fader knobs lift straight off? I couldn't tell.
They do. You could use a towel or something under the knobs to pull them off to protect the surface. Regards,
@@AldoSpadaroOfficial Thanks!

Did u find a supplier for a new faceplate in the end?
I also want to find one.
@@EvLoutonian No I didn't. Moved on with the SSL controller UC1 + UF8 instead. AVID support on hardware is ridiculously non-existent.

Ciao Aldo, vorrei sapere dove trovare i ricambi di un mc control. Non ne trovò in rete….
It was ebay at the time. They are getting harder to find these days! Gr,
How did you get a new one? AVIDs website is a mess and the service providers from the website say get it from AVID. HOW??????
Ebay
to be honest the black one looks better to me the other one looks more plastic silver then alu. also is it plastic ? since the crack wont be happening in alu :)
Jep, true. They are all plastic. Did preferred the silver ones at first glance, but not anymore.
These units have faceplates that don't hold up so well or tend to crack over time.
