I just got my Faderport 16, having seen yours in action. This is EXACTLY what I needed to get going! Thank you

[johnwhittaker]

Chris I can't thank you enough - I had ordered an X-Touch but your video convinced me to get a Faderport 16 instead. Just got it running, following your guide. I will watch the rest of your series.

Thanks so much Chris! I've referred to this video now four or five times when my Faderport16 has stopped working (perhaps Cubase's default.xml has been trashed or whatever) - I never ever remember how to do these things. Your video is so brilliantly clear I know I can come straight here and fix the thing instantly! Every time (so far:) ) I wish instruction manuals were as clear. So I thank you for that!

[jmcgowan]

This is been by far the best tutorial for any control surface I have ever seen. Thank you so very much! Not only did you help me get it up and running, I learned a bunch of shortcuts I could have been using all along with my single Channel fader port! How embarrassed I was to find out all these cool things .... wish I had watched you sooner. I will definitely be back for more. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with those of us who are always trying to get better at this craft

[marccocor]

Thank you very much, Chris.
I’m sorry about my English, because I'm french.
I have faderport16 for 2 weeks and I could not make it work properly.
Thanks to your explanations and demonstrations, I find myself there.
Thank you for this tutorial that goes beyond all modes of use too light in and forbidding.
I will quickly look at what you have prepared for the plugins and sends. Thanks again Chris. You deserve to be French ;)

[cyriljohn]

Got mine today and I was able to set it up quickly thanks to you Chris! Thanks again!

[davidorourke]

Thank you so much, this has been so helpful to me especially in learning how to get the most out of my Faderport 16

[stanleydurbin]

thank u Chris u saved me i couldn't find the help i needed to get my 16 working properly thank you, ur a life safer.

[Ahmad-Mounir]

Chris, is there any way to disable the motorized faders while shifting between banks then re-enable them? I just wanna care about this baby to last longer 🙂

[midnightwind]

At 11:40. The MASTER. This assigns the large knob to the master out. Also. The SHIFT F1 - SHIFT F8 Are for the CHANNEL VISIBILITY CONFIGURATIONS see page 365 in the Cubase 11 Pro manual for an explanation of that madness. Lol. Took me forever to research this out.

[DomSigalas]

Awesome video Chris! This looks very good! One question (maybe I missed that): if you have the first bank selected (1-16) and let’s say you select channel 30 in Cubase will the bank update on the fadeport or do you have to manually click on the bank select buttons to get there? Every Mackie Controller I’ve tried up to this point seems to have this limitation, is it the same with Faderport? Love these series!

[NigelDThompson]

Great run through Chris.. Thank You! I have just ordered the 8 track version for my little project studio to replace my first generation Faderport. On now to your next vid....thanks again👍🏻

[enmitymetalband]

Thank you very much for this video, I was looking for a DAW controller since a long time, I think I found it.

Looks like the most recent firmware integrates better with Cubase. I love it!

[paulwright]

Brilliant video. Thanks very much. Saved me loads of time! However, I can't for the life of me get the configurations to work. When I set up a configuration the faderport doesn't seem to 'see' the configuration. For example, I set a group channel config but nothing changes on the faderport to reflect what's on the screen. Do you know what I might be doing wrong? It'd be a really useful feature for me.

[yosefagius]

Hi Chris. Can you select multiple channels simultaneously by using 'SHIFT' + 'SELECT' ?

[vanpgeluid]

In the installation manual is written at page 35 to select the compatibility mode instead of the Cubase mode.

[EUPHORIAMUSIQ]

I'm thinking about getting this to use with Cubase 12. I currently have the Yamaha AW4416 but I haven't used it in a while and haven't connected it to my pc for a longer time

[MustacheVerra]

So you can only select channel in Cubase that are within the bank selected. Which means if you have 300 tracks you could end up switching multiple times to get to the track 250 for example? Can you confirm? I guess you don't do large project like that Chris?
