  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • iMac w/ Big Sur using Logic Pro 10
style: 1 Fader Control Surface - New Version Pattern: Controller
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.

  • 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

  • Love it
style: 1 Fader Control Surface - New Version Pattern: Controller
My friend let me borrow his for a few months and when he needed it back, I realized how much I missed it and bought my own! I never thought I would use these controllers much, but it has definitely helped my workflow, I'm a huge fan now.

  • 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
