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.
