Product seems good but one of the faders was brokenProduct seems good but one of the faders seems to have a problem with the touch sensor when I move the slider in the software the physical slider moves on the mixer but if I try to move the slider on the mixer it will not move as if it does not recognize being touched on the sensor on the sensor. I have tried to update it To the latest firmware but that did not fix anything.

Good, not perfectI’m just getting to know my way around this piece of gear. For the most part it does what it should, which is control my DAW. It was easy to set-up and worked out of the box with minimal configuration. 2 things that irk me, though. Using the faders to control the DAW in touch mode is less than ideal. For short quick throws it doesn’t register. For bigger moves you have to fight against the servos so instead of a nice clean set of points in the automation lane you get a square wave of points as the servos keep trying to return the fader and I keep pressure on it to keep it where I want it. I’m hoping that a sensitivity adjustment will help this but I haven’t got around to testing yet. The other is that (in Reaper anyway) the qCon shows files that have been hidden in the DAW and doesn’t collapse folders. So I can clean up the visible tracks in Reaper, but they all show in the qCon meaning that the visual representation is off, and you have to scroll through too many tracks to get where you need to be. Not the end of the world, but not helping my workflow as I hoped it might.

This thing is amazing!I do a lot of mixing on my computer as well as production and I use this every single time i open FL Studio now. It speeds up my workflow quite a bit and i just love being able to change volume without clicking with a mouse. Would definitely recommend.When i first got it there was a high pitched sound coming from it. I contacted support and they got back to me pretty quickly with a solution. Basically, my faders weren’t getting enough power, so I changed some settings and it fixed it! Works very well now. 😁

It just works, all the time.I bought one of these to act as a tactile mixing facility to my Mac Pro & Logic X. It works out of the box. Just plugged it in, and followed some really simple instructions to have Logic recognize it, and it works. I’ve had it for about a year now, and use it about 4 times a week. Never had an issue. It is very accurate and I really love the transport controls. The shuttle wheel is really accurate with Logic. If it wasn’t that I already had a 32 channel hybrid mixing studio, I’d just keep adding more of these to make up a full desk. But one works just great. Also they are not the smallest units but are made of steel and solid. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking to add tactile mixing to their digital rigs.

DifferentIt’s taking a minute to get used to the placement of the transport controls. Different from my old Mackie control surface. Faders don’t seem as solid. But overall it’s doing what I need ….
