    Source

Software and compatibility

  • The Master Fader software can be unintuitive, lacking guidance for certain features like swiping down to access hidden menus.

    Source
  • The Soundcraft Ui24R's web interface is fully self-contained in the firmware, eliminating the need for an internet connection as it runs its own internal web server.

    Source
