This is the best way to work. The product works well no problems so far. It has greatly improved productivity because it works seamlessly with studio one.

    • Add a grommet for jog wheel!
style: 1 Fader + Audio Interface (2 Mic Pres) Pattern: Controller
Review Image by peederj peederj
A simple hardware store rubber grommet as shown will turn the otherwise miserable knob into a jog/shuttle-style wheel you can easily turn with one fingertip. The knob will grind a bit (by design, sadly...this is an audio product and should be silent) but loosen up over time, as will the motorized fader. I like the design, have used the Faderport 2 for a few years, stayed with it for my podcast rig, which brings us to the audio side. It's fine enough, nothing special, the headphone amp cranks but does get a bit of harmonic distortion when cranked. The mic pre is commodity, it has enough gain for the SM7B but no phase invert. I didn't try a guitar, no idea of the input impedance. Comparing, the SSL2 is more euphonious than this certainly, but doesn't have the nifty controller of course. This lacks the SSL2's stereo control button, I think the low-latency input monitoring lock both channels as mono, but I didn't test that. Both have 115dB dynamic range spec, the SSL2 does sound better, but I can live with this Presonus audio for simple use cases. The SSL2 headphone level doesn't get as loud, but the preamps do have the somewhat handy "4K" mode. Testing further, the audio section on the ioStation is pretty poor. There are error spurs (continuous high tones) in the ADCs, and the main outs are unbalanced. This is sloppy corner cutting consumer gear quality. The PCB traces were made for manufacturing convenience and not for performance. Read the instructions next time. Presonus does read the instructions on their Quantum units fwiw. The DACs are OK, and the headphone amp, while getting some 3rd harmonic when cranked, is quite usable. I would probably prefer a USB Mic like the Shure MV7 over these ADCs if possible. But just to listen back in headphones while editing/mixing, or even over speakers, this works fine. The SSL 2 is far far better on the bench though. But no Faderport included unless you buy a UF8. ... show more

    • Fabulous product
style: 16 Fader Control Surface Pattern: Controller
I am a Cubase 13 user and the process of getting it set up was rather cumbersome. I ended up using a YouTube video by "Chris Selim - Mixdown Online" to get everything wired up and working properly. He did two videos on it and I found them both helpful. Once you get it set up, it's just freaking brilliant! I love this box and wouldn't think about NOT having one! ... show more

    • Work Flow at Lightspeed
style: 1 Fader Control Surface - New Version Pattern: Controller
It will do it for you too. THE TRANSPORT SECTION SAVES ME SO MUCH TIME, BUT IT'S THE MOTORIZED FADER THAT IS THE STAR OF THE SHOW FOR ME. Now I can write automation into my mixes for faded endings, boosted tracks during key parts or hooks in a song. Bridges, tags, and lifts can be tailored to accent right on cue. The big knob is a lifesaver when it comes to zooming in and out while editing with melodyne or autotune. Build quality is fine, and the fader is silent and precise, with no play and feels smooth gliding up and down. The buttons are the silicone type, and well labeled and lit. I would recommend this to weekend warriors and pros alike, and if more complex automation is required, it comes in an eight and sixteen channel variant. ... show more

    • Great tool for live streaming
style: 8 Fader Control Surface Pattern: Controller
Purchased the PreSonus FaderPort8 to aide in mixing sound for livestreaming a church service. We are using Reaper for our DAW and have between 18 and 25 channels being mixed. The original purpose was to make the mixing process easier for other volunteers that were not involved in setting up the system and are less computer savvy. I am not sure it is going to help as much for new volunteers. I've been mixing on a full soundboard for 10+ years so I forgot how intimidating the faders on a soundboard can be, even with only 8. It will take a little time for new people to get used to the board. For those used to mixing this board works exactly as you would expect. In Reaper all you have to do is select a channel and the FaderPort8 will transition to include that channel as one of the 8 you are controlling. If you cannot show all the channels on your screen at once, you can press Select on the FaderPort8 and your screen will shift to show the channel you just selected. The movement of the faders is smooth. The faders being motorized is key and one of the main reasons I didn't go with less expensive solutions. Having the fader automatically move to the correct level when you select the channel is a must for mixing live sound. Only issues I have are minor. First, in Reaper, only the left most channel shows the channel number in the scribble pad area. They all correctly show the name of the channel however so it's not a big deal. The other issue is if you move the fader in Reaper all the way to the top (past 0) the fader on the FaderPort8 drops back to the bottom. Not a problem, just a behavior. All in all, if you are mixing for live sound and have the budget, I would recommend this device. ... show more

Plug and play indeed. Works great and is exactly what I was looking for with a controller. Love having the physical controls and the size is perfect. I’m def going to look at the 8 channel version if this lasts a couple years.
