  • Add a grommet for jog wheel!
style: 1 Fader + Audio Interface (2 Mic Pres) Pattern: Controller
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

  • Love mixing with this! Works with Reaper
style: 1 Fader Control Surface - New Version Pattern: Controller
Sometimes when I'm mixing, using a mouse can get frustrating at times when you're really trying to accurately adjust volume levels. This resolves that issue. The motorized fader and overall construction of the unit are solid. Initial setup can be a little finicky if you're using reaper but the secret is to download the Klinke version of Mackie Control and set the faderport for Logic. Transport controls are phenomenal and my overall workflow has improved quite a bit since introducing this to my setup. I was initially looking at the Faderport 8 because I wanted the flexibility of being able to adjust more than one track simultaneously however the one slider is easy to get used to especially if you don't want to clutter up your desk. The faderport comes with the Artist version of Studio One which I had never used, but after playing around with it, I may upgrade to the pro version. The artist version gives you limited capabilities with VST plugins. Overall, I'd say this is a win and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for more of an analog feel while using a DAW. ... show more

  • Get one - it's really cool and fun and great
style: 1 Fader + Audio Interface (2 Mic Pres) Pattern: Controller
Super cool and fun to use. The comments regarding undo/redo are uninformed - if you hold the shift down for a couple of seconds it remains in force, so you can have undo and redo ready as you record (shift doesn't affect the transport and recording control etc). Where I wasted some time was putting it into Mackie Control mode. You have to hold the next button when powering up, and then you hit touch button for HUI or mute for MCU. Silly thing is that there are two mutes and I initially kept hitting the wrong one (the one nearest - bottom right - that mutes the audio interface) rather than the channel mute (I didn't read the HUI mode mechanism). I love this product. Too cool for school.... my only wish? I wish that it could run off USB-C power as an option (it's nice to have the power supply to not drain the laptop) because it makes it so more portable in the home, traveling, studio etc. It's great to get Studio One Artist and all of the free software too (but I'm a Logic Pro X fan - but I have played with Studio One is pretty slick - I just find it has missing bits and pieces that Logic has acquired over the decades... Love the sound quality too.... two products in one super cool package. And it looks great as well! ... show more

This is an upgrade for me from the Faderport Classic. Love it - the audio interface is excellent. I should have acquired this sooner!

  • Great for what it is
style: 1 Fader + Audio Interface (2 Mic Pres) Pattern: Controller
If you are on a budget & working 1 track at a time, this makes a lot of tasks simply easier. There are some things that may take a bit to get used to, but it simply works out of the box with StudioOne & Cakewalk. I should have saved up & bought the bigger unit with 8 sliders, or maybe even the 16, but this works for me for now. ... show more
