[@GRNSdatboisheed]

Had my Faderport for years and I've never had an issue using PT on it. Never tried it with reasons but it does have a MCU option for mackie.

[@ZZ-ou7gp]

Still using my BCF and BCR controllers without fail. Reliable and robust. If you can find them in the wild for a good price, worth picking up.

[@orryfishburne5326]

Ive only had it for one day so far, but im using the Faderport 16. Im a Studio One user, so it seemed like a great option to start with as my first controller. I got it in hopes that physical control will make the DAW experience more enjoyable and inspiring.

[@bobbiejohnson4607]

Great video! I’m a huge fan of Reason! I think out of all the Daws Reason sonically sounds the best to me. I use the Nektar Panorama P4 to control Reason, but I would like a full console layout to control Reason. You just got a new sub and like from me. Thanks for posting.

[@carbonvibes]

Definitely good topic, especially if you are mixing sessions. Personally I’m looking into the SSL environment. I used to have a Digi 002 console but I sold it a while back. Thanks for sharing 🫡

[@kennethwilliams4725]

I'll know real soon how well the Icon controllers work. I have the Euphonix MC Control and Artist and I'm retiring them because of non-support by AVID. I looked at most of the controller on the market. I should receive the Icon stuff within the week

[@JeffyG]

Great topic! I had a FaderPort 16 for 4 months and I was impressed, but then it just sat around. I guess I just don’t mix enough, so I took it back. My Novation LaunchKey MK3 faders, knobs and transport work great - no motorized faders, but it’s enough for me. I’m using the LaunchKey as a control surface with Logic, and I’m using it every day.

[@kennethwilliams4725]

I have the Arturia keylab64 as my keyboard midi instrument but hadn’t delved into programming for it. But it’s my intention to do so for VIs.

[@JeffyG]

@@kennethwilliams4725 the Arturia Keylab is almost the exact same as the LaunchKey - just Arturia has fewer pads and the mod and pitch wheels are in the wrong place.

[@yenthesage2717]

Great vid man! As for Reason controllers, the nektar panorama p1 is by far the best one to get.

[@oursongvideos]

I had the Presonis Faderport 16 it worked fine but I found after the honeymoon period was over I didn't find it that helpful so I sold it but I do have the Presonis solo unit and it works just fine. I mostly use it for transport controls. Great video ty.

[@414drue]

You absolutely can expand the faderport and connect multiple fadorports together

[@MisterManiac777]

Single Faderport and a touchscreen for the multitouch console in Studio One. I also use a Stream Deck Pro with 32 LED buttons.

[@AtommHD]

Thank you buddy, this as helped a heap. I wan't to get back to a tactile feel and improve my creative flow.

[@avgytenjoyer91]

You said you haven’t found a controller that works well with plug-ins, but I am having really good results with Ableton and the push 2. I use macros to assign knobs to the push and I know every time I highlight a compressor, the first knob is always threshold, the second is ratio followed by attack, release and gain. Then the last three usually specific to the plugin, if it has different modes sometimes I’ll set them to the eq. Push is not great for mixing though, I don’t like knobs for mixing so I’m looking at the icon platform m+ or the other bigger one. But that as a combination should be perfect for producing, mixing and mastering all in one session like I do. I make EDM

[@Saintknick]

Great video, I haven’t used a controller with motorized faders, transport on my S88 mk2 and a presonus Atom. Since I use S1, I am looking forward to your faderport video. Keep up the good work

[@BigCore-]

I haven't been doing full songs. I have primarily been making beats in the MPCX so I've been using qlinks for the tactile aspects. With that said, I purchased FL Studio not that long ago so I got an Akia Fire. I'm certain that I'll end up using controllers as I grow and advance in this production journey. Many years ago when I was doing full songs, I used a usb mixer.

[@cmcp975]

About Reason control surfaces: I've heard that the brand Nektar makes hardware that is deeply integrated with Reason workflow. I've never tried it, but I plan on it asap.

[@nkultraknocks8852]

Every Nektar controller/keyboard I ever had worked flawlessly with reason just plug and play… BUT, buttons start glitching out after 2 years like clockwork with every device I’ve owned, and I handle my stuff gently.

[@kevinpunter7960]

I was looking into a physical controller for Logic Pro. I tripped over Logic Remote for iPad and had my mind blown. So good IMO that for my humble needs I'm no longer considering a physical controller.

[@kennethstavis9953]

Man. Great video. I am trying to get into using controllers. I bought an Akai midimax to work with Studio One. The midimax is not working. This is why i clicked on this video. Most of the people I've come across using midi controllers write cinematic music.

[@7Wounds]

Check out the "MP Midi" Controller. Definitely considering it for the future, as I love tactile feel.

[@sagacitybeatsllc]

Icon Qcon Pro2!!! Masterful. Controls some plugins

[@Vybescube]

The faderport works with Logic, protools studio one and more

[@PaulPaid]

Check out the MP MIDI Controller. Best plugin controller I've seen.

[@pjdahmen]

Great Tutorial!

[@DJL609]

Great Vid 👍🏾

[@Emotionz223]

Did you get a new camera man …if so is it a Sony don’t forget to put your camera and lens in the description as well lol….the visuals keep on getting better every time i see your videos man keep it up

[@LordShaProductions]

Yes sir!!! Great video!!! G!!!!

[@DVTOM]

The only thing for me about the Faderport, it's not an expandable item like the Icon Pro Audio stuff is or Avid and SSL's. Most surfaces are main units that can be chained together. Some make a main and then extenders. I want my home studio to look like a big studio with a console but being at home most people have limited space so being able to expand is huge.

[@ChopavelliLive]

I love controllers 🎚🎚🎚🎚There’s nothing putting hands and fingers on faders and truly getting a grasp and feeling the music. Nothing against mouse users, it’s just what works best for me. Wouldn’t love to be part of the Beat Battle 🎹💪 Let me know.

[@marcuselbow]

The battle is next Saturday bro! We have 4 packs left. Grab one and submit your beat by Tuesday and you’re good. elbowmediastudios.com/

[@mosestechnology50]

Icon controllers works great with Reasons Logic pro Studio one I know because I actually have icon controllers I love them

[@kennethwilliams4725]

That’s great to know.

[@kennethwilliams4725]

I can say at this point that the sturdiness of the Icon products is stellar. The Quality control and customer attention...uh, not so much. After having over a week delay in arrival, which turned out to be ok because I was doing other things in the studio. The install process was fast. The operation of the software does appear to have some bugs but they aren't debilitating to the use of the controller. It seems the zoom and scroll functions are backward from what is silkscreened or printed on the transport. Also while the punch in and out works excellently; the location of the jog wheel and the transport buttons on the P1-M that I had to get due to space limitations on the Dangerfox Genesis desk is a bit cumbersome to use and I move cautiously when jumping around. The D4 meter bridges I was sent were defective in the lighting. I could and am using them until the replacements arrive along with my DT meter bridge, Now this might have been due to them sending me something quickly as this was just before the new year, perhaps they had an office party. But to think i was going to send the meter bridges back FIRST and wait for them to send the others was a lapse in judgement on their part. To me without any type of led readout on the fader controllers themselves renders them almost useless to me, They should have sent new ones and THEN I'd send back defective ones to them and NOT essentially stop my workflow. Sorry for the long reply.

[@jsfbay1]

Which model? P1, V1?

[@TshegoAMG]

Please link in the fader LED light that's on the right monitor. Thanks... Great Video btw S/O

[@YadderEstrada-wq8yh]

Awesome video thx …

[@khemiztrylabz]

Tight work!

[@tee2008j]

I should have bought one but I have not yet... one there are so many out there did not know which one to get and now funds have been lite but I would like one.

[@darrellroseborough7275]

Hey Marcus, I myself have the Faderport 16 and you you can manipulate the plugins and do some cool automation with that controller. I Agee just being able to have that tactile feeling is a huge plus. I'm thinking about the Protools one but its a little out of my budget for now. I agree PreSonus stuff is built like a Sherman tank I had mind now about 5 years and I must say has made my mixing a lot better just because being able to move some faders physically in just my opinion. keep up the great work thanks for all you do fro the recording community.

[@williehollingsworth5093]

Def a good topic to do a video on. Good video. The Avid Dock and Avid S1's, which run on the Avid EUCON protocol supports the following common DAW's in the industry (Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Digital Performer, Cubase, Nuendo). It also supports some other applications and systems including, (Media Composer, Adobe Audition & Premiere, Harrrsion Mixbus, Samplitude, Trinnov D-Mon, Ovation and Pyramix). You can run the Avid Dock and S1 in a Mackie Control or HUE mode to support DAW's like (Ableton, REAPER and Reason) but functionality will be limited to what those protocols can provide. The EUCON protocol is a very powerful protocol. If you are running a DAW or System that it supports the features and flexibility is almost endless. In short any key command or shortcut that your DAW can provide you can create button with-in EUCON for it. If you want to try this on your supported DAW's go get the free download of the Avid Control App to put on your Apple or Android tablets and you are off an running.

[@marcuselbow]

Thank you for the info boss!! I’ve got all the software needed to make this happened it’s just not. I will keep plugging away tho!! 🙏🏾👊🏾

[@mosestechnology50]

PS Icon is made solid as a rock

[@kreativetechnologistsaka882]

I Love My XTouches (5) looking to buy 2 more

[@JAHDUBProductions]

Upgrading some things now. I think I'll get the presonus since I use studio one. I want to add a mixer too. Or a bigger interface. I need more mic inputs. If that presonus, the 16, and the 8, had mic pre's,, they'd crush it. I was leaning towards the 8 but that 16 is so nice.

[@JeffyG]

Control Surface mixers are limited to the midi standard, or the Mackie or MCU driver. There’s only so much they can do, unfortunately. Maybe Midi 2.0 will include mixer extensions?

[@Lofilegacybeats]

We need to get on reason studios to make a dedicated SSL mixer 16 8 like presonus has I’m ready to leave reason alone as a daw to get studio one.

[@marcuselbow]

I’m using them both but Studio One is winning right now 🥹

[@mosestechnology50]

My brother, when I do my mixes I turn all the monitors off turn the lights off and just mix my music using my ears What a beautiful Way to mix music Try it you’ll love it

[@YadderEstrada-wq8yh]

I need the perfect mixer for live to control Logic Pro live instruments. What mixer do you recommend for live playing ! Thanks man …

[@jimphilogene9680]

From day one, I have NEVER gotten any external controller to work with Reason but with Cubase my controllers work just fine. Mixers with controllers are limited in the DAW cause you are expected to do all the processing in the mixer.

[@TempleOfPtah]

Does the Faderport 16 work well with protools?

[@marcuselbow]

🤔 not sure

[@JSprayaEntertainment]

My Mixer is Analog , My Midi conroller handles a lot , and i have an ipad running logic remote... so i just dont need a controller like that

[@descargamusicalny]

Im currently on an avid s3 paired with the old artist transport. Is true what you've said, them avid controllers do not work in reason, I have tried. I was looking at the softtube console 1 mk3. It is starting to saprk my interest but, no transport control and no motorized faders seems incomplete

[@Steve-br7wt]

I’m good with a mouse and HS8s

[@SteveBlevins]

Roland V700c controlled plugins.. but Roland decided not to update to windows 10....

[@JayDMoore]

I have studio one and the fader port. I cannot get my audio output to set to my speakers smh

[@djbenouf]

yo man wich controler daw for flstudio is good ??? icon qcon vs presonus fderport 16 ??? wich the best for flstudio?, thx for help

[@scottwhitlow8468]

What daw do you have on the screen behind you? Thanks!

[@marcuselbow]

ProTools 👊🏾

[@nanadjnyk]

Hi, would you recommend the Faderport 16 over Icon Pro X with logic, thanks.

[@marcuselbow]

I’ve never owned the Icon but the Faderport 16 is a dope controller….so yes grab it! www.zzounds.com/item--PRSFADERPORT16

[@nanadjnyk]

@@marcuselbow thank you

[@daes5465]

Damn IT thx for This information Thats realy crazy and ITS furstrating me a lot Because reason IS a very good daw because ITS very organised with the Rack and the Other sections Quick to Handle IT has a weak Stock Soundbank ( strings , Bass , and Orchester is very small If you Dont buy reason Studios Version ) so library but AS a musician with many Instrument and Sound Plugins reason IS a good DAW I wanted to buy exactly This Kind of mixing concole for fast Volume paning and effect Level adjustments Automation levels and such Things But As my worries came true reason IS Not even creating a mixing console themselves nor programming the drivers into their DAW Thats no good customers service in This way I saw that you can assign Midi Control knobs If you use another midi Control in the prefences and then assign every single knob yourself , but AS you say Here you wont ever use the full Potential of the mixing Controller Thats stupid And slowly i think all These companies is working with Apple cubase and Just two Other Software engeneers of DAWs Thats how you Limit people with Power The Key word is Plug and Play And drivers If they Just create a Main driver to implenent These controls for single daws beeing detected If you Run IT ITS about 20 years of DAWs now and Just These three , pro Tools , pro Logic , cubase have This Options

[@Lofilegacybeats]

Just get a touch screen monitor

[@marcuselbow]

Yeah 🤔 not the same bossman!
