Short version: FaderPort or X-Touch One?
I'm a noob to most things Reaper, having used it only a bit to re-mix some old 4-track cassette demos. Now I want to start some slightly larger projects. My experience mixing those old demos with just the screen and mouse made me want a single-channel control surface. Online shopping made it look like a simple choice between the PreSonus FaderPort (the new non-Classic one) or the Behringer X-Touch One. Then I came here and started searching...
I've read several lengthy threads about both control surfaces, XT, Klinke, fade-follows-track-select, ini's, etc... I follow a lot of what's been discussed, but didn't dig down deep into the links and updates,since a lot of it doesn't do me any good until I pick a device, plug it in, and start configuring it.
So, is there a Cliff's Notes version of these two long stories? Does one unit or the other come out on top in October of 2018? What are the must-have extensions/add-ons/patches needed to make them work "right"?
Sweetwater await your helpful responses. :-)
