projectm Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I’m sure it’s great, but $700 for a single fader and some standard buttons is kinda brutal ? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a promo email from them and couldn't find a price. Now I know why. Faderport 16 is only $100 more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had 3 Faderports break on me over the years, and have had problems with the motorized fader (and power supply) more times than I can count. They are cheap pieces of plastic. This looks like a tank. Time will tell on this particular device, but SSL is generally pretty reliable on the hardware quality front. And I'd rather buy once and never worry, then constantly replace / fix a cheap pos. I've never been too enthusiastic about this trend of super cheap hardware interfaces / controllers. I took a risk on the Audient Evo 16 for a secondary rig, and it's been nothing but problems throughout the first year. Ya, it cost $550 for what is an equivalent IO device to my RME UFX (which cost $2500 I think), but I've had more problems with the Evo 16 in the first year than I've had with the UFX I in almost 12 years. (Note: Have had no problems with the Audient ID14 or Scarlett 2i2 on my mobile rigs.) I don't mind paying a premium if it's reliable.

Bruno de Souza Lino Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Yeah. Why get something like the X-Touch One, which has about the same number of controls as this and is 600 bucks cheaper? Or maybe the X-Touch Universal, which has more controls and faders than this and is 200 bucks cheaper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
