Mackie Control Universal support with customized modes for Logic, Cubase, and Sonar, plus HUI mode designed for Pro Tools, and native Studio One support make the FaderPort 16 ideal for use with any modern DAW.

Review: If you love Studio One FaderPort DAW Controller is an essential - I'm enjoying the FaderPort. I love that it came with the latest version of Studio One 7 Pro. After a firmware update the FaderPort works perfectly in Studio One 7 without requiring any modifications or reprogramming. It's very intuitive to use. The physical fader feels nice to the touch. The build quality is solid. This is compatible with Studio One 7 DAW, which came with the FaderPort. I simply had to register my unit to be able to download the DAW software. The buttons are responsive. This is a solid value if you love Studio One and it's your DAW of choice. This lets me work with sound more efficiently without taking up much desk space.
Review: Excellent DAW Controller - This controller comes with Studio One Pro, and the motorized fader works perfectly for automation control. The included software alone makes this a worthwhile purchase. While there are occasional connection issues, solutions are readily available on YouTube, making them easy to resolve. Making and editing music with Studio One Pro is an excellent experience, and I highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Add a grommet for jog wheel!
*by P***J on October 17, 2022*

A simple hardware store rubber grommet as shown will turn the otherwise miserable knob into a jog/shuttle-style wheel you can easily turn with one fingertip. The knob will grind a bit (by design, sadly...this is an audio product and should be silent) but loosen up over time, as will the motorized fader. I like the design, have used the Faderport 2 for a few years, stayed with it for my podcast rig, which brings us to the audio side. It's fine enough, nothing special, the headphone amp cranks but does get a bit of harmonic distortion when cranked. The mic pre is commodity, it has enough gain for the SM7B but no phase invert. I didn't try a guitar, no idea of the input impedance. Comparing, the SSL2 is more euphonious than this certainly, but doesn't have the nifty controller of course. This lacks the SSL2's stereo control button, I think the low-latency input monitoring lock both channels as mono, but I didn't test that. Both have 115dB dynamic range spec, the SSL2 does sound better, but I can live with this Presonus audio for simple use cases. The SSL2 headphone level doesn't get as loud, but the preamps do have the somewhat handy "4K" mode. Testing further, the audio section on the ioStation is pretty poor. There are error spurs (continuous high tones) in the ADCs, and the main outs are unbalanced. This is sloppy corner cutting consumer gear quality. The PCB traces were made for manufacturing convenience and not for performance. Read the instructions next time. Presonus does read the instructions on their Quantum units fwiw. The DACs are OK, and the headphone amp, while getting some 3rd harmonic when cranked, is quite usable. I would probably prefer a USB Mic like the Shure MV7 over these ADCs if possible. But just to listen back in headphones while editing/mixing, or even over speakers, this works fine. The SSL 2 is far far better on the bench though. But no Faderport included unless you buy a UF8.
