Rather than search around a computer screen with your mouse, mix sounds on the fly when you incorporate the PreSonus FaderPort 8 eight-channel mix production controller. Zoom in on audio files with lightning speed thanks to eight touch-sensitive, motorised faders and 57 buttons that cover 78 separate functions. This lets you go straight from recording to editing, adjusting the tempo, modifying plug-ins, controlling track levels and managing auxiliary mixes without having to hunt-and-peck for things on a computer screen. Just touch the appropriate button, and you're set for whatever function you need.
Instead of making you revamp how you edit and mix your notes, the FaderPort 8 augments the way you currently mix. Bring in your faithful keyboard and mouse for things they do well, while the production controller handles the one-touch features you need to expertly mash up sounds within seconds. Easily find your desired function due to large, illuminated buttons. Eight high-definition digital scribble strips provide visual feedback as you work. Customise your setup by following your computer-based selection to the controller so it becomes a one-touch function rather than a mouse-based feature.
