- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- A followup to my previous video about the the lack of functionality when using the Presonus Faderport with Pro Tools. Finally we may have a solution the brings life back into the Faderport, making it a great contender as a control surface for Pro Tools!

I have been looking for a control surface for my home set up for a while now, I love the Avid S1 and have been using it at work for a while now but is a bit out of my price range, and the Faderport seemed perfect cause I really only need 1 fader at a time and will take up less space on my desk. So the Faderport hardware-wise looked perfect but looking into the Pro Tools integration, or lack thereof, it really put me off getting one, until I came across V-Control Pro. So far since using the faderport with V-Control Pro, its been amazing, and I think I prefer it over the S1 as it has all the control buttons on the right hand side laid out nicely and its just a really functional piece of hardware.
Awesome! Good to hear! I do like it with v-control, some things I do wish it had still, but it does make the faderport an actual useful thing with pro tools, otherwise it's really not. The faderport itself is well built and perfect for just small things, so I am glad there's a solution like this. Not perfect, but damn good!
Super helpful! Thanks man
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!!
I got the V-control, but can't figure out how to use the Faderport 2's foot switch to punch record now, it worked using the Protools setting on FP2 before running through V-control. thnx!
Hmm that's strange! It's apparently automatically mapped to punch record, but I haven't actually tried it myself. Are you on the latest update of the V-Control software? I know they had to patch that in the past as it wasn't in the settings or possible controls to map, but I believe they did fixed that.
Thanks 🙏 dude!
No problem! Glad it was helpful!!
Kinda struggeld on budget so I bought this. Hopefully I can at least use the basic function of faderport because I don't really wanna pay so much for a 3rd party software just to be able to use a product. Have you ever looked at behringer x touch by any chance? It seems to have more function and works with pro tools, just not sure about its build quality though.
I have another previous video that talks about the drawbacks of using Faderport with Pro Tools. Some of it does work, it's not totally useless, just some workarounds you'll need to do or functions that don't exist in other daws (like it portrays in the marketing) - so check that out to see if that answers any of your questions too! This software is very helpful, but does kinda suck to have another expense to use the thing..
I have not tried the x Touch myself, from what I've seen it will be a little more true to what they say about the functionality, since it uses HUI and is designed that way from the start without a preference to any DAW (like faderport has to Studio One), so I think you are right there. The build quality will probably be fine, but not great, as is most Behringer stuff that i've used. It'll do the job basically if struggling with budget.
Hope that helps!
Merci 🙏
De rien :)
does it work with M1 Macs?
Yes, it says it is compatible! I don't have an M1 yet, so I can't test it myself or give any further into this.
Does this works with Pro Tools 2022?
Yupp! I am using it with the newest Pro Tools install currently!
@@ANAKCreates 🤦🏾♂️ dang i seen a deal on one, it’s sold now 😂
@@mikeb9311 Awe damn!! Well now ya know if ya see another one come up!
Been waiting for this Vid... no way am I going to spend ANOTHER $200 to get the faderport to work the way it should. Over $400 total for a single fader transport... hard pass.
Yeah, it’s definitely not that great in that way, esspeically since ya gotta buy the software to basically make the faderport work how you want it to work in the first place. I hope personus fix this at some point and make it baseline work with pro tools better
is this still the only way in 2024?
From my research so far, yes this is still the only solution for Faderport. It has changed a little bit since this video, but simply added a few new features.
