Members aliengroover Posted February 8, 2006 Members Share Posted February 8, 2006 I know I've seen some people say they'd love a single fader controller, but is there really that big of an audience for this? It is less than $200, but isn't the B-Control? IMHO, it flies out the door at $100, but struggles to find its place at $179.Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Warhead Posted February 8, 2006 Members Share Posted February 8, 2006 Presonus does not equal Behringer, ya gotta give them credit there. Also, that new fader jobbie has a transport on it and is small and to the point. I personally think there's a whole lotta folks out there waiting on this piece!

Members aliengroover Posted February 8, 2006 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2006 Oh, no, I'm not equating Presonus with Behringer at all. Not even. But, with the control surface, I'm not going to totally knock them, especially considering their little CS has gotten both good press and user feedback/reviews. Personally I'm out of the market and married to my Mackie . I'm telling you, though, I see it going the same route as the Akai MPD16 pad controller: it comes out a little overpriced, but once it drops in price it both becomes popular AND starts a trend. I don't think the FP is "overpriced", though, but you could still find a Baby Hui floating around for maybe double the price. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zkaudio Posted February 8, 2006 Members Share Posted February 8, 2006 their new product, a la namm, the Firestudio, ships with this fader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members toddlans Posted February 8, 2006 Members Share Posted February 8, 2006 where are you guys finding these two presonus products (faderport and firestudio)? were these brand new at NAMM or what? I've never heard of them and they're not on the presonus site that I can find. have any more info/specs on this firestudio? I was thinking of picking up a firepod for another 8 ins here pretty soon. EDIT: I found the stats on a HC announcement/review. I don't know why presonus wouldn't have some mention of it. Does anybody have a clue about when the firestudio would be shipping or what it would cost, i couldn't find that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonmatifa Posted February 8, 2006 Members Share Posted February 8, 2006 their new product, a la namm, the Firestudio, ships with this fader. Actually I believe the firestudio comes with a remote monitoring control unit, it doesn't come with the fader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Warhead Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 I was responding to Toddlans request for a price ballpark by the way. But I've got a whole bag of SSSHH with your name on it. War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zooey Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 That Faderport is a gutsy product, but a really good idea. If you're very comfortable at using automation and mixing with a mouse, but wish you had one high quality fader for vocal rides, this looks like the ticket. I know a few people in this demographic (including myself) but I don't know if this has widespread appeal. I wish it had a rotary encoder, too.

Members Awake77 Posted February 12, 2006 Members Share Posted February 12, 2006 The faderport does look pretty cool, I could see myself using it. I dont have space on my desk for a full control surface right now, nor the money to spend on one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zooey Posted February 21, 2006 Members Share Posted February 21, 2006 When is it shipping, anyway? Looks like a lot of online retailers had it on their websites, then pulled it (you can still see cached pages, though). What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Warhead Posted July 13, 2006 Members Share Posted July 13, 2006 Maybe by AES? 3Q = most likely. I guess we should put up a "pre-order" page also. War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brittanylips Posted July 27, 2006 Members Share Posted July 27, 2006 I go back and forth whether I like the one fader idea: one fader is great for some stuff / one fader isn't enough, one fader is great for some stuff / one fader isn't enough.... What may make this much cooler is using it in conjunction with the new CME/Yamaha wireless MIDI interface. At that point, it becomes the equivalent of the Tranzport but with a fader. -plb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to figure out what I need the most: fader or wireless... Since I'm on a laptop I don't have the numpad with all the rec/play ect. hotkeys in Cubase. I know I could just get a cheap usb numpad, but I'd like to have proper buttons with symbols on them Plus the extra features of these units is nice to have as well.
