FADERPORT 8 vs QCon Pro G2 8-channel universal DAW control surface?

[donreynolds]

Hey all!

Looking for some thoughts

I have the Presonus FaderPort 8 hooked up and it actually works ok except for the scribble strips banks not working correctly and syncing to the DP track layout
Presonus support said they do not support Digital Performer… great

So I though I am going to order the QCon Pro G2 8-channel universal DAW control surface and see if it any better
It says they have DP templates? But I read on another post that the QCon also had issue with scribble strip track names?? The QCon support tol them it was a DP issue as DP was not sending the track info?

Any thoughts??

I had purchased the single channel Faderport and I could get one half of it or the other to work, but not both. I returned it when i saw that Presonus had dropped support for DP. I later ended up with the QCon Pro G2 8-channel and I have not had any issues with it using the Mackie Control mode.

The Digital Performer template refers to the plastic overlay, if I am understanding what you mean. That also works fine. by which I mean the buttons all work by labeled. The "Control Surfaces Help" -> Mackie Control PDF are the applicable instructions, even though they are showing a Mackie unit.

I will say this is the second time recently that I have seen someone mention DP not sending track name info (in the other case it was with FabFilter Pro-Q 4), but that also works for me, so I don't know what I am doing differently.

Thank you!

The Qcon is on it’s way!
