PreSonus FaderPort Single-Channel Mix Production USB Control Surface

When it comes to DAW control devices, even though a keyboard and mouse are tried-and-true, when used in concert with PreSonus' FaderPort™'s precise tactile control over mix and automation functions, they become even more effective. For anyone who mixes in the box, this is a superior solution that provides a 100mm touch-sensitive, motorized fader for real-time writing of fades and automation, plus 24 buttons covering 40 different functions, all in a compact chassis that sits easily on any desktop. You'll be able to quickly zoom in on audio files for editing, control track levels with the touch of a finger, and enjoy most-likely the fastest, most efficient workflow you've ever experienced.
