I use one of each - the factory setting I use for producing - volumes, panning, solo/mute/record arm and recording automation in device mode. The factory settings and user settings can be set up how you like.

The knobs have a 'click' to denote the middle (64/217) and have the perfect resistance - firm but smooth. The quality of the build is unbelievable, especially for the asking price.

I have about five solid years' experience with Ableton Live and have used a lot of controllers from the Push 2 to both APC40 models.
