QCon Pro G2 : Just what I needed make mixing more enjoyable

I bought this control surface to use with Cakewalk by Bandlab in Windows 11.

The unit came with a Sonar button overlay that matches Cakewalk functions. The setup and integration was very fast and very easy. The device was detected by Windows and I was able to add it as a control surface using the Mackie Control template built in to Cakewalk.

The only oddity I have encountered is when using the Pan pots. They sometimes adjust the wrong channels. I was aware that this could happen when I ordered the unit and already knew of a workaround. If you use the "flip" button, the sliders become Pan controls so its easy to set up Pan automation.

Overall this unit is exactly what I needed to make mixing feel more intuitive. I am planning on purchasing the Qcon G2 EX to add 8 more channels of control (even though I can easily shift these 8 channels up or down in each project)
