Do motorized faders make DAWs better? Ableton Live and Presonus FaderPort 8 Review
I’m a big fan of faders because you can control more than one parameter at a time with one hand - but do motorized faders make a difference?
FaderPort 8 was designed for Studio One and its integration with Live is based on the MCU standard.
In this video I explore how well this integration works, what the limitations are, and what it’s like to use Live with this kind of interface.
