  • 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

  • Works With Reaper - But There is A Workaround Needed
style: 1 Fader Control Surface - New Version Pattern: Controller
Faderport V2 Single channel. One other reviewer mentioned the Faderport works with Reaper. There is a workaround that will take less than an hour to get setup. You will have to search for and download the Klinke software. This was written by someone in the Reaper community. It is free and has simple instructions. This controls the Faderport and is a version of Mackie Control. The generic control software for many control surfaces. Once you have the Klinke software setup inside of Reaper. (You have to drag a few files into the UserPlugins folder). You will then need to start the Faderport while holding down the "Next" key. This will allow you to choose one of the operating modes. They have setups for Studio One, Logic, Live, Cubase, and Pro-Tools. If you are using Reaper. Set the Faderport into Logic mode for Logic software by hitting the "Mute" button, once you are in setup mode. *There is a setup already in Reaper for the Faderport. But I could only get it to work with a few of the buttons. So I used this workaround instead, with some success. I ended up with around 90% of the features working. I now have full functionality to: Arm, Solo, Mute, Touch, Read, Write, Latch, and trim on a track. Scroll between channels. Jump between markers. Scroll/fast backwards or forwards. Undo/Redo Pan. Record. Stop. Play/Pause. The 100mm Fader is motorized and works well and feels nice. Much better than using a mouse. I was going to go for the 8 or 16 channel version but went for this as space is limited. I can scroll extremely fast between tracks and have all the functions I really need. It would be nice to have more faders, but for the price this is a great tool. You can add a foot switch and use it to record when you're on your own. Keep your hands free for an instrument. Mixing should be about listening and not looking at stuff on the screen. I feel this gives me more of that. What didn't work? Nothing important that I'm going to miss. One was the link function - But Logic doesn't support that and I am using the Logic setup. The Section Button doesn't work. The Marker button scrolls but doesn't drop a marker. That's something I rarely do once I have an arrangement setup. I only have to press the M key on the keyboard. I don't mind that these few minor things don't work. I can program these buttons myself unless I can find someone who has already done it. But it's such a minor thing that I probably won't waste the time. Why only 4 stars? It has taken some 3rd party person who makes no money from this to create the software to make the Faderport work with Reaper. Neither of the two companies could stick a programmer on it for 2 days and make it work? Overall, this has improved my workflow. A few hours of use and you don't have to even look at it because you get the feel of where the buttons are. The unit is solid and well built. The buttons have just the right amount of rubbery feel to them. For just over $200.00 I think it's worth it. Even with the hour of messing around, you have to do to get it going. ... show more

  • Timesaver
style: 1 Fader + Audio Interface (2 Mic Pres) Pattern: Controller
Bought this for mixing on the go and doing some occasional tracking with my guitar. This thing was breeze to set up with Logic and has so many thoughtful features they didn't even advertise. Other than using for gain staging it also helps with quickly navigating around the project, zooming in and out, and even switching views in the DAW. I wish I knew about it much sooner. The build quality is awesome. This unit was a steal at $200, since the faderport is $200 and so is most interfaces. I'm very happy with this thing. ... show more
