Behringer X-TOUCH Universal Control Surface with 9 Touch-Sensitive Motor Faders, LCD Scribble Strips and Ethernet/USB/MIDI Interface

Buy it, you won’t regret it. Do your homework with your DAW of choice and see what “MCU” support is built in. It handle Mackie and HUI protocols. Your DAW determines how functional this unit or any other control surface incorporates into “Your Daw”. In Logic you can even use it with the plugins, watch videos to understand this. Doing a mix was sooo easy with 8 faders instead of the mouse, adjust levels and pan just like on a real console, with logic, you can use knobs to set parameters on plugins instead of the mouse, able to turn more than one knob at a time, turn a knob mover a fader at the same time ( never happen with a mouse).I use LUNA it ran right out of the box.When used with Logic, you can control plugins by either the fader or knobs. I was able to control UAD plugins, waves plugins and I suspect any others plugins. Small learning curve. But it is so nice to twist a knob, even two at a time, say a la2a you can turn both knobs at same time and dial in quickly.

This is an excellent addition to our sound system and makes controlling it much easier.

I produce music as a hobby and use Cubase on Windows 10 as my Audio Editor. Having physical buttons and slides to control the software has dramatically improved my workflow when compared to just trying to control everything with a mouse and keyboard. It also helps that XTOUCH looks good and I love the fact that the sliders are motorized. It's not cheap but definitely worth the money.

If you are a Logic Pro X user and want a tactile feel to your controls, this unit will do the job. I like being able to write automation with faders rather than with mouse. Takes a bit of initial setup. It is not a plug and play. But no big deal. Also, you will have to get used to it. At first, it will slow you down. But after a while it will speed you up. Happy mixing! So why 4 stars and not 5? I would love to see better quality faders. These are not awful, but they feel cheap. That is because they are. But it does the job.

This thing is heavy. Does not feel plastic or cheap. The faders respond well and have good resolution. You do need to know how to set it up properly so the DAW will receive and transmit back to this. Also some DAWs require a second virtual connection (Ableton) to handle transport controls. This, like the X32, has been around a while and continues to sell because it works well. I have the X32 rack also and they pair wonderfully.

I wasn't sure I really needed a mixer/controller, because I'm pretty good with a trackpad, but within a week it became indispensable. It really DOES make it easier to mix when you've got automated faders in front of you. It's perfect for Logic Pro right out of the box. I have a few small gripes - the faders do chatter a little bit when they're automated to slowly fade out, but that sound doesn't impact your recording. I wish I could lock the scribble strips to ONLY display the track name. But mostly this product is amazing for the price. I really love it.

Easy to setupbut tricky to customizeBut can be Customized !

I really wanted to like this and was excited to add faders for my DAW and also have it as an option to use with my XR18 in live settings. But the motorized faders are jittery and noisy. I was disheartened and returned the product.
