Platform M+ : Nice, Good for price, but with some niggles.

I bought this for using with Cubase and Logic ProX as a volume controller for balancing tracks and writing some automation.

The setup with either program was simple and worked nicely. I did not want to control plugin or EQs with this soI did not test how that works with the knobs.

I really liked the unit, the rubber feel of the buttons and the fader action was ok, but not as good as the Presonous Faderport in my view.

Also, despite calibrating the fader speed and sensitivity I still had to fight with the fader sometimes when adjusting levels. This was on tracks that sis not have automation, so there really was no reason for this to happen!

Also, sometimes when the faders were turned all the way down, there would be some fader chattering going on. I tried to make sure the device was level, but the noise persisted on and off.

Pros:

+ Cheap,

+ Looks great

+ Feels Solid

+ Lots of features and nice buttons

+ Easy setup with DAW and easy fader calibration process

Cons:

- Some unexplained fader resistance and

- occasional fader chattering noise when idle.
