I love this review and the one key point that sold the Loupedeck+ to me came at 06:28. You absolutely nail it right there, when you can see the numbers and where you're taking your Contrast or Shadows or Highlights to - it can deter you. You're right, you should ignore the numbers and where the slider's sat... just trust your eye and create an image that just feels right to you. Great review, thank you!
You can clean the Loupedeck+ and other keyboards by purchasing the cheapest car cleaning gel (these jelly looking things). It will serve you for a very long time and it cleans it super fast.
Decent review...but I think the only thing keeping you from cutting your editing speed by 50% is user error or lack of imagination. These devices can be EXTREMELY powerful when you set them up correctly. Don't have a loupedeck but use a Stream Deck for Photoshop and Lightroom and I'm able to take something that'd be a 10, 20, 40 step processes and boil it all down to a one button press. The loupedeck looks great out of the box, but its up to you to figure out how to maximize all of those extra P, C, and D buttons (and 3 levels) to truly cut your work in half. The loupedeck, the stream deck, the Behringer X-Touch Mini with Midi2LR, a 19 button mouse, Auto Hot key, Xmouse Button Control, even a crappy $10 USB numpad...mix and match any of the above and you can absolutely decimate your workflow by more than half.
Why it has the cable? I think you thought of the data transfer only, but that cable actually powers the Loupedeck. The Loupedeck is rated 500mA, so batteries would not only make the Loupedeck bigger but would also need frequent replacement. Four AAA batteries can deliver the voltage needed, but they are typically about 1000mWh each, so every day the batteries would have to be replaced.
Hey Jordan thanks for the review on it. I have been up in the air on adding this to my workflow. I look forward seeing your channel grow. I love your grading you did on this vid.
Hi man, thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video, great to have you as part of the channel! Definitely try out the Loupedeck as part of your workflow, I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it.
I just got one of these controllers, and my immediate issue was, when I turn a knob (for example exposure), why is there an annoying delay before the image changes??

I love this thing - been using it for the last year and while it as not sped up my editing much, it makes it more fun....
i got it for 125£ on ebay, and there were several loupedecks around, so right now it may be a good moment to look out for them.

For the dust thing I use a big paint brush to dust my keyboards. It works better than a vacuum or feather duster.

What's your update for 2023?!
Nice review bud! Helped

Hi there, is there an alternative to this you would recommend?
🤩🤩

I'm afraid this is something I have experienced before with my Loupedeck+. What software are you trying to use it with and what version is it?
@@JordanFowlerYT Lightroom Classic 10.2
could be a slow computer as well
now i will buy it .......................
Loupedeck+ vs CT?
It would be nice to say that it doesn’t work with Adobe anymore.
It was posted 2 years ago. This guy just keeps updating the title of the video for each year.
@@shaneanagrams its 2024 and I see on Amazon it saids that it will work with adobe
Win 11??????
Anyone know if the Loupedeck+ can be integrated with Cyberlink Video Director?
