Nothing out of the ordinary in terms of use.

More about that in the Setup section below. For instance, there is no SEND button, so if you want to use for controlling sends (and your daw supports it), you may be out of luck. Depending on how your DAW uses the MCU protocol, this may or may not be an issue. It uses the MCU protocol and it nearly mimics the MCU unit in terms of button layout, but is missing some V-Pot assign buttons and a couple others. Use: Works just like any mixer with channel strips and transport controls. Everything is metal (except the buttons) so it has that nice, cold feel to it. And the meter bridge! Oh, the meter bridge is easily the most prominent feature on this and it's beautiful and handy. Jog wheel is nice and sturdy with a nice resolution for quick scrolling. The rotary knobs feel great, sliders are smooth and pretty quiet, although they do slam down pretty hard when banking tracks or closing a session. Happens every so often, but I do need to make sure my button presses are purposeful. Maybe after some wear they will be more consistent. Sometimes the buttons either stick so they press twice, or don't press at all. They don't click as loud as the Mackie or VS700, but they aren't totally quiet either. The buttons look like they would be rubber, but they are clicky plastic buttons. Timecode display is standard, nothing fancy. The top LCD has 2 rows, so it can display useful info, depending on how the DAW is setup to use. There are contrast dimmers, for both, so I have just turned it down to black for now. There are 2 LCD displays, but the bottom one near the faders doesn't work with Reaper. Matte black finish with chrome knobs and faders, and colorful lighted buttons. Look and Feel: This unit looks really nice. My experience and comparison to this would be older Akai and Mackie mixers, and most recently the Roland VS700 system for use with Cakewalk. My DAW is Reaper, so setup and configuration is not easy. I've only had these for about 1 week, but I've had a lot of time with the setup now. I have the ProX paired with the XS extender giving me 16 channel strips.
