Do You Use "Midi" Controllers to Control Your Favorite DAW?

Great Tutorial!

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.

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.

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 🫡

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

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

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

You absolutely can expand the faderport and connect multiple fadorports together

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

Tight work!

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.

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.

Great Vid 👍🏾

Awesome video thx …

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

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.

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

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.

PS Icon is made solid as a rock

The faderport works with Logic, protools studio one and more
