Does what it's supposed to do
Filam 17.12.2020
A handy addition for your DAW.

I use it with Logic Pro X on MacOs Catalina. It's very responsive. Once you turn it on the slider synchronizes very quickly to reflect the selected channel strip in Logic and vice versa.

Although I know quite a few keyboard shortcuts for Logic, I often find myself reaching for the Faderport because it is easier to have a dedicated button for a function. (like solo/mute/automation modes...)

The things you don't like about it (for ex. the play/pause/stop behaviour) can be changed using "learn new keyboard assignment" in Logic.

It does need drivers. I installed it under MacOs Mojave, and it survived the upgrade to Catalina flawlessly. I see the manufacturer already made a driver for Big Sur available as well, so I feel quite confident I will be able to use it for a long time... (fingers crossed)

Rocks with Studio One
Ian84 11.09.2021
If you hate using a mouse for everything in your DAW, don’t have the space for a large control surface or need a portable solution, you’re looking at the right device. It’s solidly built, colourful when used in darker environments, its motorised fader great and a must for any serious work, and with the Link button you can even use it for plugins with the rotary knob.

I tried it with Reaper which is doable but finicky. Fortunately it comes with Studio One Artist and it works beautifully with that. The integration is solid: you can control most of the DAW with it.

Amazing, but maybe a larger!
Rikki Blakk 05.10.2021
I have nothing bad to add on this product, sturdy and besides from the quirk that before first use you need to read the manual to figure out why it's blinking - the documentation says it's preconfigured to run in Studio One mode, but that actually is not the case - you need to select that when it's started the first time. A little confusion and studying the details in the manual solved it really quickly, but I had expected Studio One to be default and run out of the box!

Besides from this tiny detail, it's a really nice controller. I consider getting the Faderport-8 though, to get more of the faders and knobs.

works like a charm!
Flossie Ferg 24.11.2019
i bought both this and the Berhinger one to compare, the faderport won hands down. i'm using Reaper. it worked for me simply because I didn't have to think , you just click on the track and the Faderport syncs to that track!

Very handy
fergyferg 22.12.2020
I use Cubase and this is great for doing fader rides with feeling.
It's a pity I can't assign the function buttons myself though.

Amazing product
Bruno Nascimento 22.06.2021
I bought it initially to have a real fader to write automation, but now I use it for every single part of my workflow: from recording to mastering. Highly recommended!
