This video gives me everything that i want to know about Faderport .. Tanks Sweetwater
Just ordered mine primarily on the strength of this review 😎
Clear explainations, thx.
A very nice device. As a beginner, i insert it inside my wish list.
Hi, I made the mistake of asking before watching video. I was all clear. Thank you!
Can’t believe how many functions/ features the singe Faderport has...Mk2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I missed these features after purchasing the StudioLive 32 S...the Desk does not have as much on the function keys. Great video, great product.
very comprehensive review/tutorial, thanks!
Very comprehensive video, congrats!
I have a question andI hope you can solve it. I use Logic Pro X as my DAW and I bought the Presonus Faderport 2 mainly for automation purposes. Now, every time I want to use it to write my Expression (or other features either on 'region' or 'track') it switches automatically to 'Volume' the moment I merely touch the fader. Is that my setup problem? Thanks.
This tutorial is better detailed than the one from PreSonus. Plus the PreSonus one (on RUclips) assumes the viewer was intimately familiar with the original, and leaves out critical information.
Sweetwater is a great resource on several levels.
does the link function work w/ parameters in Logic on this unit?
Great Video! The "Bypass" function doesn't seem to work with plugins in cubase.. is there a fix for that?
Hola, cometí el error de preguntar antes de ver video. Ya me quedó todo claro. Gracias!
hey i just bought the faderport and my primary DAW is ableton. im having trouble writing automation for anything except volume, is that even possible? every time I have what I would like to automate selected then hit record the fader automatically reverts back to volume. I would like to use the fader to automate other things than volume. but great review thank you!
I need to know if it's true that with last firmware update it's possible to configure the 10mm fader as a midi controller, i.e. assign it a midi controller like CC1, CC11, and all the others, to make it work as a modwheel or as expression, etc. I work with Cubase 10.5 Pro on Windows10. Thanks.
When is it shipping
Mitch is the best!
Can I use on FL Studio 20 ?
with all these functions ?
What buttons do you press to change modes?????????? Info is hard to come by on Presonus web page and in Reaper and RUclips sites. I'm regretting this purchase!
Does this one work with FL Studios? Because the previous one worked poorly at best!
Is there an "UNDO" feature on the Fader port 1?
alguien podria ayudarme y decirme como puedo usar este controlador con el Daw Cakewalk By Bandlab???
Hello, I want to buy the fader of this type to work with my Studio One 4 Pro that I just acquired, but I find that in the PRE SONUS page there are two similar models, one is the one that is promoted in this video and the other one seems previous. This equipment is the previous update or have different characteristics? Could you recommend me which one to buy? Thank you!
Hello, Luiz. The current model is the Faderport V2. The previous version is discontinued, so that makes your choice easy. For lack of a better description, it is newer with improvements. It replaces the previous version.
Thank you for your interest,

Hello Mitch, I need to be able to hang this in my vocal booth, does this come with 10 foot usb cable? Or will it work with a generic 10 foot cable I buy?
Hey, Bobby! Thanks for reaching out! If I recall, the cable it comes with is 5 or 6 feet. However, any appropriate USB-A to USB-B cable at 10 or 15 feet would work just fine.

Sweetwater thank you... does this work with protools 10 on OSX 10.9.5 as well as Studio One 4 on OSX 10.14 Mojave?
Just hooked up my new Faderport with Studio One Pro. When I press solo it doesn't follow the scroll wheel from channel to channel, as it does in this video at 2:04. Does anyone know why, or is there a trick to this?
Hi,
Sweetwater.
I need your help!!
I work in Studio One 5 and the NI Kontakt sampler with orchestral libraries from Spitfire, Cinematic Studio and VST synthesizers of orchestral instruments from SWAM. To work, I need to control the parameters of dynamic automation (Volume, Expression, Vibrato, etc.) during the live (performance) of a musical part. I am considering buying a Presonus Faderport 8, because it is equipped with motorized faders. This is what is required in my work.
I didn't find an answer to my question on the forum of the Presonus website.
Please help me. For convenience, I will state my questions on the points:
1. Is it possible to link Presonus Classic faders (Faderport 8) to the volume, expression, vibrato parameters in each NI Kontakt orchestral library, so that they are constantly stored in memory for constant use?
2. I will be glad if item 1 is possible! You could have suggested how to configure this in Studio One:)
3. If points 1 and 2 are possible, will the Faderport 8 motorized feeders automatically connect to the already recorded dynamic automation settings?
Thank you in advance! I really hope for your help!!!
THE LINK AND BYPASS BUTTONS WILL NOT WORK IN LOGIC X
Hola, quiero comprar el fader de este tipo por para trabajar con mi Studio One 4 Pro que acabo de adquir, pero me encuentro que en la pagina PRE SONUS existen dos modelos similares, uno es el que se promociona en este video y el otro parece anterior. Este equipo es la actualización del anterior o tienen diferentes características? Podrían recomendarme cual comprar? Muchas gracias!
Hola. La presonus v2 (la de este video) es mas moderna y esta mejor organizada. Ademas tiene mas funciones. La compatibilidad con Studio One 4.5.1 es perfecta. Yo la uso así y ademas la uso con Pro Tools y funciona bien. Recomiendo esta en vez de la version anterior. Saludos.
Can the faders control the clip gain on an audio clip?
Hi, Jeremiah! The Faderport won't default to those particular settings, but you could most likely program it do that specific action within the software. Let us know if you have any questions!

Can this one be used to control midi CC like dynamics etc. ?
Bruce Wang I have been trying to find this out too!
Can somebody show me how to install it in Studio One please
Hello, does this device NEED to be connected to power supply (not just usb) in order to work properly? Thanks.
Hey there! Thanks for reaching out! The Presonus Faderort V2 can be bus powered, but with limitations. The fader itself needs power from the wall outlet to be motorized. I hope this helps!

I’m upgrading from the previous version
is the new one still mackie control like the old one?
Hi, Sureno,! The new Faderport does have Mackie control and Mackie HUI emulation like the original Faderport. This will allow the unit to be to be compatible with other DAWs. Let us know if you have any other questions!
Maryann Shirley, Sweetwater Sound, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1774
Just got one.
Mitch can I use some buttons to use Tap to find in ez and superior drummer3
Need a fast answer
Would this operate the band points inside of Izotope's Neutron 3?
Thanks for reaching out! You can map any VST parameter to the FaderPort, so that should work just fine. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any other questions!

does it work with sonar platinum?
Thanks for reaching out, Richard. Yes, it does work with Sonar Platinum. If you need some help setting it up, check out this link:

Does it work with ANY DAW such as Audacity?
Hi, Cory! The Faderport is not optimized for control within Audacity, but as long as Audacity accepts MCU control, it will be able to work. The Faderport is really optimized to work within Studio One, Pro Tools, Ableton, Logic Pro, and Cubase. I hope that this helps!
Maryann Shirley, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1774
Is there any problem with extending the USB connection to the host? If I get this, it's going to be located about 15-20' away from my DAW and the included 6' cable would therefore not be long enough. I'd need to use an active repeater.
Hi, thanks for your interest! I wouldn't recommend using a repeater for anything carrying audio data, but since the Faderport is just sending MIDI control data, I wouldn't foresee any issues. Feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again!

Would be cool if they showed you how they connect to cubase . I purchased one and within 24 hrs of receiving it I’m shipping it back . Tech didn’t know any more than I did about the unit or setting it up . Kinda sad not gonna lie . Tried to order the cubase controller and was told it was no longer being made . I then spoke to a tech a steinberg and that was news to them so I’m waiting to hear back from him on from them . If your using presonus I’m guessing it will work out of the box any other software and it’s a 50/50 it will work buyer beware.! :(
How do you sat it up on Logic Pro x
Kell Cole Style Ent hold next while powering on. Then hit mute. Do the whole process slow as it works better
This new version seems designed more for PreSonus own software Studio One and is very limited (Mackie control only) for other DAW's. They should of designed it so you can program each button personally like you can with NI Maschine midi control. The motorized fader is the only advantage here and the rest is confusing and are labeled strange for other DAW's.
is the new one still mackie control like the old one?
Big like 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This looks great! It would really make my workflow go a little bit faster. I just need to know if it would work this well on Reaper, and if I can use it to alter any parameter of any plugin with the knob and the fader separetly. Or, if there is a bigger version of this, with maybe 4 or 5 faders.
Did you ever find out whether it works well in Reaper?
@@Karlush No, I never bought it. It was out of stock for a long time, and then I kind of lost interest
Mitch had his suit made out of the same fabric as the sofa behind him...
even his shirt is made out of the same material as his lav mic
you know it! heh
Lmaooo
😂🤣😂 I laughed a little too hard 🤣😂
i cant get the faderport to control tracks anywhere past the first 8 channels in logic!!! When I do, it reverts back to and starts controlling the last selected track of the first 8. Does anyone know how to remedy this??
WellingW I have the same problem with the - Icon Qcon pro - in Cubase 10.. Its useless without that function!
you need to make sure in your logic X you have installed the correct model of the driver. My logic X automatically detected the wrong version of mackie driver model. I had to manually remove the wrong install and manually add the correct mackie emulator model (follow the manual) and it worked.
Can the fader be used like a mod wheel for midi input ?
Hello, Russell! I dug through the manual a little bit, and my findings were somewhat inconclusive. You can configure this in a lot of different ways with MIDI, but the only thing specifically mentioned is pitch bend on page 42:
pae-web.presonusmusic.com/downloads/products/pdf/FaderPort_OwnersManual_V2_EN_30122019.pdf
You might be able to set a parameter in a software instrument via MIDI learn, and messing with the fader, but without trying it myself I'm not sure.
Thanks for the interest!

@@sweetwater Thanks ! R.
does this come with the foot pedal? does it only work with studio one
Hey there! No, these controllers do not come with a footswitch, but you are able to run a 3rd party footswitch with the unit. You can use this with quite a few other DAWs. As long as the DAW you’re using has Mackie Control Universal, then this will work just fine.
Feel free to reach out with any other questions!

Heaven
I like presonus but those faders sound so noisy 😑 best saving up for a studio live
The best controller for Cubase 12 - after the production of the Steinberg CC121 has ceased - for me is the PreSonus FaderPort V2 (one fader) together with the new version (23.08.2023) of the midi remote script written by Werner Mairegger with the extensions written by Christian Oestmann. The new version of this script can be found in the Cubase Steinberg Forum under the topic "PreSonus FaderPort 2 (2018) midi remote script". Actually, the script can do more than what the CC121 was able to do, because so far 90 functions have been realized with the script: 27 functions for each track/channel, 19 functions for transport, 23 functions for navigation and editing and 21 other functions. And all this I get for only about 170 Euros for the Controller which is compact and very ergonomic. :-)
Why doesn't Gandalf mention that the Behringer x-touch One is much better and cheaper?
FL Studio ?
Waiting on that 2626, Band camp is real lol
I got one. This thing is like soooo counterintuitive it’s not even funny. Falling into despair trying to get it to work as different cc’s in kontakt. Hitting scroll after channel doesn’t appear to do anything. Mute button blinks all the time, etc
Faderport a touch or Icon 🤔
Might just get a raven slate ....
Looks handy, but I swear I can do everything it does with the keyboard and mouse FASTER. The only thing that makes it desirable for me would be the fader for automation, but ever since pre-insert/fader Clip Gain showed up in Tools I never use automation anymore. It looks awesome though, dammit makes me wanna try it out lol
I agree, same here, its faster with the mouse, and I can assign any knob on my midi keyboard for automation. does look nice however, but pointless really!
You are just kidding yourself for the sake of it! There are a multitude of different scenarios where it speeds up the workflow! Even something as simple as using the Faderport transport controls whilst working with plugins with mouse etc is a time saver. what's more, when you place one of these adjacent to a Roland TD drum kit or perhaps a synth, it makes a fantastic remote control device for stopping starting record etc without having to get up and go back to the DAW. So you are assuming this will always be placed within reach of the DAW itself, whereas there are many other different places it can sit within the studio. Yes, there is a remote option available for tablets, but a tablet would cost more than the Faderport to start with, and I would argue it's a far more intuitive device to use.
The original one was marketed as a motorized fader and it didn’t work. It doesn’t snap to the gain when you go to a new track. The track snaps to the gain currently set on the fader. This is completely backwards and slows everything down
The motorized fader works if you connect the AC power supply
Copiarock I have the original power supply that came with it, plugged in
Perhaps a defective unit or power supply?
Copiarock it was like that out of the box when I opened it from my online order at sweet water about 9 years ago. I doubt I can switch it out now. I was under the impression that’s how all of them are. I only use it for the transport
That's too bad. I think yours was defective, because mine does exactly what you are saying you wanted it to do.
Too bad it doesn't seem to work with Reaper!
A bit of a pain that this presenter slurred saying 'Switch' instead of 'Shift' and 'Lock' instead of 'Link'. I had to go back a few times! Without a display on it, you are blind without the computer screen. Impossible to record my vocals on a few tracks as my mic setup is facing the other way in the room. If there was a display, at least it would tell me on which track I am on! Not sold on this one!
I bought this because of the fader being motorized, and when I got it, it doesn’t snap to the gain on the channel. It’s not worth the buy.
Yeah all on and all off
I cannot even connect my brand new, PreSonus FaderPort to my brand new PreSonus Studio One Professional. You'd think it would be fucking seamless. I am getting fed up with PreSonus.
😂😂😂
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! clip those got damned fingernails! UGH!
What's wrong with his fingernails? They are clean! I am sure he lets them grow to play classical guitar.
The Faderport does not work with Reason.
DO NOT buy this if you're a Reason user.
