Presonus Faderport USB

The easy-to-use FaderPort delivers complete transport control for fast and efficient recording along with motorized fader for writing fades and automation.
The high-quality ultra-smooth motorized long throw fader on the FaderPort has the feel needed for recording perfect fades and writing automation in real-time. Pan, mute, solo, and record enable can also be easily controlled with the FaderPort along with window selection, play, stop, record, and managing markers (locate points) for fast and easy recording. A foot switch jack is also included on the FaderPort for hands free punch-in/out recording. The FaderPort works with most Mac or Windows-based recording software including Pro Tools, Cubase, Nuendo and more.
