Advanced, Innovative DAW Control!
The Mouse Can Stay — And It Gets a Powerful Partner
Keyboard and mouse are, without doubt, proven input devices for controlling a DAW. Combined with the precise tactile control the FaderPort 8 provides for mixing and automation, they become exponentially more effective. With 8 touch-sensitive 100 mm motorized faders and 57 buttons you can control 78 different functions: quickly zoom during audio editing, tap in the click-track tempo, modify plug-in parameters, manage aux mixes — and of course ride tracks manually with ease. The FaderPort 8 delivers the fastest, most efficient workflow you’ve ever experienced.
Work Faster and Smarter
The FaderPort 8 doesn’t force a new mixing method on you; it optimizes your familiar workflow. Where it makes sense, stick with your trusted mouse-and-keyboard control and reach for the FaderPort 8 when you want to get hands-on to streamline your process. Thanks to the large, illuminated buttons you’ll find the function you need quickly and easily. Eight high-resolution label displays provide visual feedback. As soon as you select a track with the mouse, that selection is mirrored on the FaderPort 8, so you can use the alternative input method at any time. This is the DAW control you’ve always wanted!
The Most Important Functions Are Accessible via Dedicated Buttons
The FaderPort 8’s unique Session Navigator gives direct access to eight essential functions and delivers maximum flexibility. Using dedicated buttons you can arm all tracks at once, clear mute and solo, restrict the view to specific tracks, buses, and VCAs, and much more. You’re not limited to the preset functions either: four programmable user buttons give direct access to your favorite controls.
Universal Compatibility and Seamless Studio One Integration
Thanks to the FaderPort 8’s optimized workflow and support for the Mackie Control and HUI protocols, you can control virtually any DAW quickly and easily. No drivers are required for installation: simply plug the surface into a USB port and take control of your mix and plug-ins.
The FaderPort 8 really shows its full magic when used with PreSonus Studio One. (Studio One Artist is included.) You’ll be amazed how much faster you’ll work with it.
