"FaderPort Practically The Best, Get It!"

Feature:
Everything on this lil machine is just perfect for recording in your own lil personal studio but only fall back is that it only have ONE CHANNEL FADER.

Quality:
Quality from Presonus is great. I Have many PreSonus outboard equipment for digital audio recording including the new, Firestudio Project which works extremely well.

Value:
For this product, it is da best in its category.

Ease of Use:
iT Is actually very easy to setup and use takes no more than two minutes of your time and then you r up and runnin.

Support:
haven't had to get any

Overall:
Thank You PreSonus. Makes working in the studio a bit easy.

"FaderPort - best value for money !"

Feature:
I am amazed how well this little DAW controller works ! Ingenious ! Not only is it sexy, slim and sturdy - it integrates with e.g. Cubase 4 perfectly without any hazzle. Download the driver installer from Presonus' web, install the driver (which also updates the FaderPort's firmware), open Cubase and add the device as you would with e.g. a midi keyboard - installation only requires a few mouseclicks. And now for the best part : Instead of having to make room for a large multi-fader DAW controller next to your midi keyboard and other studio equipment, the FaderPort fits nicely between the mouse and keyboard (which is the most natural FaderPort location), making a LCD on the FaderPort utterly superfluous. No need to stretch out for those faders and knobs on the DAW controller. I love the dedicated PAN knob - it is very precise/high resolution/high-end like the fader. The FaderPort really looks and feels high-end - I am amazed at the low price !! Some reviews criticize the FaderPort's fader for not being USB-powered (i.e. own power supply), but really high-end motorized faders don't run on USB power. You might be considering a multi-fader DAW controller - either because they look more pro or because you need more functionality, but they cost at least 10 times more and take up 10 times more space. Buy a FaderPort and spend the rest on good monitors or a pro sound card instead ! I'm really looking forward to Presonus' next invention.

Quality:
The best value for money !

Value:
Highest value-to-price ratio !

Desirability:
Sexiest little DAW controller out there !

Sound:
N/A

Ease of Use:
Couldn't be easier !

Support:
Web page/support is very good !

Overall:
Might be getting a multi-fader DAW controller in the future, but then at a much lower value-to-price ratio.
