W ith its dedicated transport controls, generous
number of faders and lighted solo, mute and
select buttons, the US-2400 makes using a DAW
fast and easy. It eliminates the clicking around
through endless windows many programs require
and let you concentrate on making music.
Most control surfaces only have eight faders,
which isn’t enough for a real mix. As you press
the BANK button looking for your channel, you’re
missing the big picture of what’s going on in your
mix. Instead of adding on fader expanders to make
a controller big enough to handle a real mix, the
US-2400 comes with 25 moving faders in a solid,
professional package.
Lighted buttons and encoder rings show you
what’s going on in the software. You get familiar
controls like play, stop and record to work with.
A professional control surface like the US-2400
makes mixing intuitive and fun so you can be
creative with your music.
W hen you’re recording a live performance,
you don’t have time to search through
software menus to fi nd the function you need
right now. The US-2400 gives you instant control
over 24 channels so that crucial channels aren’t
hidden under a BANK buttons.
The encoder section of the US-2400 gives you
control of up to six aux sends for each channel. You
can even press the FLIP button to mix these aux
sends from the faders to create perfect monitor
mixes or fade in an effect. When you have the aux
mix dialed in, press the METER button to see your
channel meters displayed around the encoders so
you’ll know which channels are about to distort
in your DAW software.
When dealing with pre-recorded tracks, the
US-2400 is even more indispensable. It provides
instantaneous level changes and mutes to your
recorded DAW tracks and allow you to make
changes to compensate for the acoustics of that
venue. And the portable design and driverless
operation means you can bring it along wherever
the road takes you.
Even though the US-2400 provides 24 chan-
nels of mixing and transport control, it’s portable
enough to bring along to a live recording so you’ll
have instant access to your mix settings.
