  • Great product for my needs!!!
Style: Main Unit
I've read a lot of reviews for this controller. Many of the reviews where negative in regards to functionality and flexibility with other DAW's. So let me expound on a few factual pros and cons. This controller works well with pro-tools, bitwig, logic, reasons, Cubase, live, reaper and samplitude with firmware version 1.15. I use this mix controller with Pro Tools 12 and a windows 10 Operating System on a custom built high end PC that's only used for music production and audio engineering. I have many of the popular plugs that most like to use like SSL, autotune and many more. Pros: 1. Flawless integration with my windows PC running windows 10. 2. Smooth quiet operation while working on projects 3. Provides tactile control over the mixing session allowing you to focus more on music and not mouse clicks. This alone will speed up your mixing workflow. 4. Allows control over your VSTs for fine tuning without using a mouse. Really good to help you dial in that compressor or cut those unwanted frequencies out of your material. 5. Simplifies writing automation. A feature most people who purchase this are looking for. 6. Aesthetically pleasing with a professional feel. 7. Its a mix controller and does exactly what it advertises for the DAW platforms it supports CON: 1. Not all DAWs support the master Fader channel. This is not a functional flaw with the mixer, more so a proprietary software or coding langue issue between the various DAW companies and the Qcon creators. You can still control the master Fader channel by shifting through the channels. (no big deal) just means Qcon will likely have to pay the other DAW companies to allow integration. Some companies may not allow it because they have their own controller platforms that they want to sell or have agreements with other companies that better serve their interest. 2. The VU meters are a few milliseconds slower than the DAW VU meters. Not a major concern because you just need to know where the sound is peeking and it does that well. Conclusion: This is a great tool for the price. There is room for the product to mature however, as is, will definitely be a work horse for you in your project studio. Note: The negative reviews I've seen do not speak to the functionality and seem to be associated with the computer platform being used. If you are using an older computer or a computer that's not robust enough to run complex DAW's and VSTs you are likely going to have problems using this controller. In fact, you will likely have problems with your overall set up in general. If your wondering what those issues are, ill give a few examples. If your PC is: 1. Slugish and struggles to run the windows operating system before you run other applications. That's a problem. 2. If your PC freezes when running VTS such as spectrosonics and Nexus, that's a problem. 3. If your computer has difficulty recording more than two tracks with your current set-up, that's a problem 4. If your using unstable cracked software, that's a problem. All of which contribute to the lack of usability for your system. So before you can accurately assess this tool make sure your PC is capable of running complex software without crashing. Do this by ensuring you heave more that minim amount of RAM and hard drive space. Id also recommend only using SSD drives for computers being used to run DAW's and other audio applications. ... show more

  • Best purchase for my studio.
Style: Main Unit
After I purchased the QCon Pro X and (2)XS, my productivity increased. I use Studio One 5 and I was all mouse in my workflow. After getting these control surfaces, "no more mouse" Five stars.. No lost connections and the boards integrate seamlessly with Studio One and all other Presonus products.

  • Not ready for prime time

Steep learning curve to do some of the things you can already do with a trackball. I bought this twice hoping I was wrong. I wasn’t wrong.

  • Qcon pro X unit runs fine in Logic 9 and Pro tools 10
Style: Main Unit
Qcon pro X unit runs fine in Logic 9 and Pro tools 10. My main question I had was whether this product would handle Slate Plug-in products well (VMR,VCC etc) and it communicates just fine. This is an excellent product and I am happy to own one. Cant wait to add another 8 channels as expansion.

  • 2yrs on still love it- works great
Style: Main Unit
I read the negative reviews. Which is the point of me writing this review. I purchased my unit used in Sept of 2019. I have not experienced any of the negative issues people have posted. In fact I purchased an extender several months ago - thats how much I like it. Yes early on it seemed like software/firmware was very poor, from what I read.... I held out for about 2yrs before purchasing used in 2019. I bought sometime after the big firmware update that changed the button layouts drastically. The faders are usable for mixing - most other control surfaces have small faders, those are useless in real world use as they are too small for fine adjustments. I chose this unit over the mackie control surface. The pan pots are push buttons too. It is frustrating that the lower scribble strip only displays the Icon channel number not the DAW channel name. Works perfectly fine in Logic Pro and Harrison Mixbuss (especially Mixbus 32C!! - Harrison and Icon have not formed an alliance) (those are the only DAW's I use) ... show more

  • Professional Built, Professional look, fraction of the Price !
Style: Main Unit
If I looked at the previous reviews before buying this product, I probably wouldn't have bought it. But I'm glad I didn't check out the reviews. I would say that I'm worried by the other comments that people wrote but I'm not. I have had my system running with Reason Propellerheads without powering down my MAC book for a few days and it hasn't lost connectivity yet. One thing I like about this company is that they do provide a lot of content via Youtube, to help you out with FAQ to tutorials. They have a help center on there website and I've even notice them replying to statements and questions via Youtube. The ONLY problem I had is when I change DAWs, some of the features do not work from the previous DAW. For example, when I used Pro Tools, the jog will didn't work but it did in Reason. The only way the jog will works in PT is if you put it in scrub mode. That let me know that functionality is totally DAW dependent. Zero Latency. No audio is being processed through the Q Con Pro X. Everything was very responsive. I can't complain because I use Reasons more than I use Pro Tools and the preset mapping is perfect for my workflow. I can honestly say that I LOVE this controller. I would've gotten the Behringer X-Touch Compact but it didn't have LCD screen and it didn't look appealing as the Pro X. My father-in-law always tells me, "Don't buy twice, buy right ". In other words, get what you want the first time instead of wasting money buying again. ... show more
