The Faderport 8 has been intuitively designed so that even the most staunch mouse-and-keyboard users will find it easy to transition to using this brilliant hardware controller.Tactile ControlThe headline feature of the Faderport 8 is its eight 100mm motorised faders. They can be used to control channel level, aux send level, panning and plug-in parameters. These faders are touch-sensitive, which is an essential tool when recording automation as you can quickly activate/deactivate it by touching/releasing the fader. They feel like a premium console, with a smooth action that has a nice resistance to it. If you’re someone that needs a highly responsive and efficient way to draw in automation, the Faderport 8 is highly recommended.Altogether, you have a whopping 65 buttons at your fingertips which cover 78 various functions, including the vital Select, Solo and Mute controls.

With these, you can effortless navigate through the most track-laden sessions, zoom in/out to make edits, bank through tracks in addition to the important start/stop playback functions. If you want to control playback hands-free, there’s a footswitch input on the rear (we recommend the Boss FS-5L)Visual feedback is provided by the eight high-definition scribble strip displays. A very handy feature of the screens is that they follow and reflect your mouse selections.Comptabile With Major DAWsThe PreSonus Faderport 8’s streamlined workflow is compatible with Studio One (native), Pro Tools (HUI) and DAWs that support MCU (including Ableton Live, Pro Tools and Cubase).If you’re a Live user, you can use the Faderport 8’s deeper integration to alternate between Session & Arrangement views, navigate through Scenes & Clips and alter track volume & panning.Studio One users can access a host of additional features and capabilities thanks to its native integration. You can bypass every plug-in on a track with just one button, use Link Parameter to allow the Pan/Param encoder to follow your mouse and give you instant control over any parameter and use the Session Navigator knob to scroll through sections in the Arranger track.The PreSonus Faderport 8 is a well-built and thoughtfully designed USB controller that gives you immediate and hands-on control over your software sessions.
