“Now, being able to simultaneously adjust multiple controls makes mixing feel less like guesswork, and more intuitive and natural.”

“Die absolut unkomplizierte Bedienung und Automation von Parametern virtueller Instrumente per Fader ist nur eines von vielen Details, die den Faderport aus meiner Sicht zu einem Must-have für Studio One User macht.”
