  • Tactile mixing is better than a mouse
Style: 8 Fader Control Surface Pattern Name: Controller
I could not recommend one of these more. Once the software is installed and I opened Studio One for the first time, the board lit up like Times Square. It's so easy to use, I don't think I looked at the manual for a week or so. Even if you don't use SO, it's compatible with many other DAWs. PreSonus has incredible customer service and the quality is superb. I heard reviews about it being loud, but I've never even heard a fan turn on. It's seamless integration with SO got me into their world and I am loving everyday of it. For the money, an 8 motorized fader controller, that comes with a cutting edge DAW with 200GB of goodies is a steal. Spend your money on this first! ... show more

  • Great tool for live streaming
Style: 8 Fader Control Surface Pattern Name: 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

  • Faltó algo de proteccion
Style: 8 Fader Control Surface Pattern Name: Controller
En mi opinión creo que el empaquetado y la manera que llegó la caja fue algo que no me gustó, sin ningún tipo de protección ni sellado con cinta. Pues el producto es muy costoso y pues esa pequeña cosita pues si me disgustó un poco. Del resto bien producto

  • So far, so good ...
Style: 8 Fader Control Surface Pattern Name: 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

  • FaderPort 8 w/ VSL 1818
Style: 8 Fader Control Surface Pattern Name: Controller
Cool control surface., I wish I was able to use it as it will uninstall the VSL virtual mixer software. (The main reason to buy that interface ) rendering it now just a converter . You'll keep the basic drivers (updated) along with drivers for the 192 and the Studio Live units. PreSonus doesn't appear to be all that concerned about making any strides to develop a fix. I think they realize their best interface is "too inexpensive" . If you are one to check forums , you'll see that PreSonus did announce a long time ago that the VSL was going to be discontinued, However there is no disclaimer for new customers who are interested in purchasing this device or the AudioBox 1818VSL . Love PreSonus DAW the interfaces , and control surfaces. Really want to use this , but can't right now and on a budget. Spent a lot of money (to me ) on my fairly recent purchase of the PCAudioLabs built Machine (specifically for PreSonus). Check that company out. They rule. Hopefully they'll decide to do something for the AudioBox users, so I'll keep the FP8 around because it is really cool. That said, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. If you aren't a VSL user, go for it. It's a really cool device. Cheers. ... show more
