  • Works with no problem
style: 8 Fader Control Surface Pattern: Controller
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
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

  • So far, so good ...
style: 8 Fader Control Surface Pattern: Controller
I was looking for a MIDI mixer with automated faders and a jog wheel for maximum control with my DAW. I had looked at the X-Touch, which has a larger jog wheel and looks nice, but I wasn't sure that Behringer was doing a good job of support and responding to customers. The X-Touch Compact doesn't have a jog wheel, which I want. I considered some other options but decided to take a chance on this. I'm using it with Logic Pro X. The setup didn't bring up the protocol selection automatically when I first turned it on - I had to power off and press and hold the first two Select buttons to initiate the mode to select MCU for Logic. Then in Logic it generated MIDI notes instead of controlling the DAW - I found out that the manual forgets to tell you to set input and output in the Control Surfaces setup to Faderport. After that it worked fine. Good thing there are so many helpful forums around :) So far so good - faders automate, navigation controls zoom and scroll, transport controls work as expected. I've seen a couple of complaints on the forums about the scribble strips being hard to read because they're not angled up but I'm OK with it, so far. (Some other user props it up on a rubber-coated dumbell.) This unit uses a power brick, but no biggie. It's sleek and it works as advertised, and here's hoping it will make mixing that much easier. Now all I need is talent! ... 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

  • 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

  • Excellent and Highly Recommend!
style: 8 Fader Control Surface Pattern: Controller
Does it's job amazingly! Works with all my DAW's perfectly fine. Definitely worth buying. The only thing I would say if I was picky is that it is a little loud when moving the faders, but that aspect is so small and easy, that it practically doesn't matter. I definitely will be saving up for the bigger version and will highly recommend this to anyone. ... show more
