This is a great product for what it's designed for. Maybe you don't think you need and external transport and fader control but let me tell you, once you got it you don't wan't to give it up!! The single feature that I use the most is the transport. I use a MacBook Pro for my audio production and it was so annoying to press the spacebar and then look for the stop and rewind buttons... But were this controller really shines is in creating automations. I have to say this, I'm one of those guys that want everything perfect, like, in a mix I didn't have any -3.4db things, it was -3 or -4 db plainly... And that perfection was down from the time of the notes, all quantized, to the fade in and fade out curves. With that said you can imagine that I wasn't thinking in ramdom, human created automations lines, but this faderport changed me for good!! I can't live now without my automations, and soon you will love the motorized fader of this presonus jewel. You will see yourself just felling the music and reacting to an specific track like in a live situation, pumping the guitar in the bridge and lowering it for the rhythm part. Also the pan button is really good. I highly recommend this controller because of the big utility you can have out of it and also for the great price, come on! it's like the price that some people pay for a sun glasses.Read full review
This is easy to use with studio one .. just power up with the DC adaptor and plug it in usb port launch Studio one and have at it .. easy to jump between tracks and a lot more enjoyable than using the mouse ... I like it very much. and very handy when using with my portable set up away from home.

With the Presonus Faderport I no longer have to use the mouse all the time which makes it easier for recording, I can stand in front of the mic with my finger on the record button and hit record when I need to. Although the software that came with it was cracked I did not need it because the Faderport linked right up to my DAW (Studio One Pro.). I don't use it for automation since I have Waves vocal rider to do automation, although it would be great for that. Overall the presonus Faderport as with all presonus products that I have used is of great value.

I am so happy with this product. I have only had the faderport for a short period of time, but it has saved me a ton of time with it's features. Originally my the faderport was not liking my old DAW; but after contacting presonus with some troubleshooting information; they got it sorted out. They even sent me a free copy of cubase le4 which made the conversation between my daw and faderport crystal clear. The only bad thing about buying this product is the price, $200 is way to steep for my tastes. That is why I bought it on e-bay though; got it for almost half the price open-box. I highly recommend it. If you want to save time, make recording much simpler; or just want the actual fader touch, this is a great product.
This works great it speeds up my workflow a lot I use it with Cakewalk sonar Platinum it works great 90% of the time every once in awhile it gets out of sync with the software I just unplug it and plug it back into the USB port and it works fine again. I've learned never to expect Perfection from competing companies and this has way more benefit than hassle.
