Outstanding sound and fixability. Easy to connect to my DAW
De momento slo puedo decir que la calidad de los auriculares es muy buena y la del micrfono tambin.
Solo puedo resumir en MARAVILLOSA, la calidad del audio es fantastica y muy profesional, no mete ruido a la hora de grabar y lo mejor es que trae licencia al Studio One para mezclar, editar, masterizar y producir tus pistas. Muy facil de usar y ampliamente recomendable si quieres empezar a hacer tu home studio.
Se la compre a mi padre como regalo de cumpleaos y parece que le gusto, por lo que me comenta cumple su funcin correctamente.
When our small museum’s monthly lecture series resumed in-person talks in the summer of 2022, we didn’t want to lose our virtual audience. This box and a PC running Zoom let us bring remote attendees into our lecture hall, including full audience participation over our sound system. We have four PA speakers at the corners of our seating area, and thought we’d get feedback, but remote attendees can participate full duplex during the Q&A session and Zoom handles it fine.
Un producto de excelente calidad a bajo precio, yo lo uso con Mixcraft y funciona perfecto.
Tambin este producto te ofrece el programa de Ableton lite.
Product was used in my in home audio recording studio. The price was good, plugged it into my computer, and it worked flawlessly
Latencia cero. Ideal para usarlo en DAW con instrumentos VST y como tarjeta de sonido para otros usos mas comunes.
Super pacchetto per un home studio. Contiene tutto quello che serve..microfono cuffie scheda audio e casse ed inoltre viene con una DAW Studio One 5 di facile utilizzo.
La compre hace un ao y ha funcionado correctamente. La calidad de grabacin y reproduccin es buena adems de que por el precio y tener incluidas conexiones MIDI es un gran plus. Los plugins que vienen incluidos son muy buenos en especial el Lexicon reverb, MAAG Audio EQ2 y el Output Movement.
Me gust bastante, la utilic para poder conectar mi teclado a la pc, y as tener un sonido de rgano tubular.
Es muy fcil de usar, est interesante que puedes usarla como salida de audio de la pc.
Lo que no me gust es que al registrar el cdigo que incluye a la plataforma presonus, me sali una leyenda de que este dispositivo ya haba sido registrado. Me la quedo simplemente porque no le doy uso a ese programa. No s si sea algo que pase seguido o fue particular mi caso.
It also works well with my Shure SM58 mic, just have to turn up the gain on the box to around 45.
Buen equipo practico fcil de usar excelente para mi home studio
Studio One est tres bien et merite sa reputation : interface tres bien faite , jamais de plantage et un bon equilibre entre les besoins des musiques electro vs. analogique. Juste la led de la face avant qui reste allume en permanence ..
I haven’t regret a lil bit, My studio has be going on well when I have brought this audiobox.
The item was perfect and as described and the sound is amazing. Whooo i love it you should get one.
I was told these would be great with the setup I have for the radio show we do. They’re not so great. Sound is difficult to adjust and never have had the sound I like
Headphone slot should be in the front not in backside of the audio interface…
Tengo conectados los Eris 3.5, unos Shure SRH440 y un Sennheiser XS1 a la interfaz y no tengo absolutamente ningn problema.
Definitivamente si andas detrs de una interfaz para tu pequeo estudio esta es la mera buena. Vale mucho la pena ponerle un poco mas de dinero para obtenerla.
I’ve been using the interface for a few months now and has little to no issues with it. The driver was easy to install in my opinion as they have a dedicated website where you can easily search for it and find it specifically for this interface. The sound it really good especially for the price of this interface. It gets the job done for me.
Compared to other DACs this just seems to be plug and play. It works amazingly even on Android and Linux. On windows you don’t even need drivers though if you want some more customisation it does help.
You also get midi in and out as well as mono out for setups with externally driven speakers. I use mine to control my KRK Rokit’s. It also seems to work well with high impedance headphones though my main ones are not so don’t take my word for it.
TLDR – Buy this just for the software it comes with, and get a cheap interface like the Behringer UM2/UMC22 to actually use for recording/listening to music.
I bought this interface fully in the knowledge that it was noisy, distorted easily, and the drivers were a nightmare to set up. And while all that is very much true, I bought this product for the software it came with alone.
I was looking to buy Studio One Artist as a secondary DAW, and I noted that it was actually cheaper to buy this interface (which includes S1 and a load of pretty expensive plugins for free), than to buy S1 on its own (which doesn’t come with the plugins). All of the software is Brilliant – I absolutely love it all, and I’m really getting on well with S1. It’s worth buying this interface for that alone.
In terms of the hardware, the preamps were so loud I felt like I was thrown back to the days of 16-bit recording, as I had to track as hot as possible so that it was possible to actually hear the sound of the mic above all the background noise. Line level ins were even nosier for some reason. My previous interface was the Behringer UM2 – which I ended up switching back to, mainly because the preamps are actually of a usable noise threshold.
The driver was absolutely horrible, as soon as I installed it, it totally crashed all of my USB devices, to the point where I couldn’t even use my keyboard and mouse. After some work, I just about managed to get it to behave. I opened S1, and selected Universal Control (the driver) as my ASIO device. The driver might be the least stable thing I’ve ever experienced: 2-3 tracks of audio at the highest buffer size was enough to make it underrun and crackle. For reference, my Behringer UM2 could handle pretty enormous FL Studio projects with 100+ tracks when running on FL Studio’s included generic ASIO driver. I uninstalled the Universal Control driver, and tried to use both ASIO4ALL and FL Studio ASIO to get the interface to run. ASIO4ALL wouldn’t even detect it, however, FL Studio ASIO seemed to fix my issues. Even through I now have a working interface, the sound it records is practically useless anyway because of all the preamp noise.
I wouldn’t say I’m disappointed, as I’d read reviews so knew what I was getting myself into, and the bundled software more than made this purchase worth it, in fact the equivalent cost of all the plugins and S1 is over 1,000, so it’s a pretty good deal.
Si tratta di una interfaccia ‘seria’ per uso semi-pro con ottimi convertitori e un driver ‘vero’ (non come certe schede pi economiche pseudo tedesche che usano robaccia terze parti free o open source) e funziona anche molto bene se non fosse che in taluni casi emette dei piccolissimi glitch a volume molto alto, ad esempio su FB, quando incontra un video a volume 0 emette questo click che mi obbliga ad abbassare il volume. Il prezzo molto concorrenziale.
I like how solid the audio box is and how clear and hard the bass hits in the headphones can’t wait to make amazing songs with this produc
Meine Erfahrungen mit der PreSonus AudioBox waren am Anfang sehr durchwachsen, jetzt funktioniert sie jedoch einwandfrei. Ich bin nicht die Einzige Person die hier scheinbar Probleme hat. Mein konkretes Problem war, dass jedes mal nachdem ich meinen Rechner gesperrt oder in den Ruhemodus versetzt hatte, kein Ton mehr auf dem Line-Out zu hren war. Ich hatte den Support von PreSonus kontaktiert, der aber auch ratlos war.
Nach ewigem hin und her sowie dem durchprobieren von etlichen Dingen fand ich dann eher durch Zufall die Lsung fr mich.
Scheinbar ist die AudioBox sehr whlerisch was den Port angeht, an dem sie angeschlossen wird. USB 3.1 Ports haben bei mir nur zu Problemen gefhrt und auch regulre USB 3.0 waren an meinem Rechner nicht einwandfrei. Standardmige USB 2.0 Anschlsse scheinen jedoch zu funktionieren. Seither luft die AudioBox wie man es erwartet. Auch soll bei einigen betroffenen ein anderes Kabel als das, was von PreSonus mitgeliefert wird, geholfen haben.
Ich halte das allerdings fr viel zu viel Aufwand fr ein Produkt was einfach “out of the box” funktionieren sollte. Die AudioBox kostet je nach Angebot zwar nur ca. die Hlfte von einem Focusrite Scarlett, jedoch kann es sein, dass sich der Mehraufwand bis sie wirklich betriebsbereit ist, nicht unbedingt lohnt. Daher: 1 Stern Abzug fr das Setup und den Support der zwar bemht aber am Ende komplett ratlos war.
Ansonsten: das Design der Anniversary Edition gefllt mir sehr gut, da es schlicht in Schwarz gehalten ist. Die 48V Spannungsversorgung fr Kondensatormikrofone funktioniert super und die kombinierten XLR/Klinke-Buchsen sind sehr praktisch.
Daher: bedingte Kaufempfehlung bzw. Empfehlung die Mglichkeit einer Rcksendung auszunutzen, wenn das Produkt zickt.
++ Soundquali Output war sehr gut. (Adam ax7)
+ Midi In/Out
+ Nur ber USB 2.0 zu betreiben! Macht mobiler!
+ XLR Kondensator Verstrker fr Angenehm Laut und gut zu pegeln.
-+ Wenn man den Hardwareregler komplett auf Playback dreht, also nur den XLR Mikrofoneingang abhren will, aber den Monitor Gain/Kopfhrer Gain ganz laut gedreht hat, kommt es zu leichten “bersprechungen” durch das Ausgabesignal vom PC.
Gibt es bei anderen Herstellern auch.
(-) In Klammern! Der Sound vom Gromembran Mic klang blechern.
Ich wei nicht, ob es an von Aufzeichnungseinstellungen der Software von Windows Game Capture Mode lag (mit diesen Autopegel-Einstellungen). Oder daran, dass das Mikrofon so klingt / kaputt war, weil ich es mit keinem anderen Setup testen konnte (ca. 300 Euro Audio Technica Mic)
Estaba buscado un interfaz que tuviera MIDI, 2 entradas de lnea y estuviera barata, esta fue mi mejor opcin.
Me gust que es toda de metal, incluso los potencimetros, se siente como si pudiera aguantar una cada moderada.
V en youtube que si subes mucho la ganancia, los preamps de esta interfaz empiezan a quitar graves, pero como uso nivel de lnea, esto no es un problema para m, esto dara problema si quisiramos conectar algn micrfono dinmico y grabar cosas graves con este, incluso si quisiramos grabar voz con un mic dinmico no dara problema ya que el corte no llegaba ni a los 250 Hz.
Tiene un potencimetro que deja manipular si quieres escuchar lo que est llegando o lo que est saliendo, el problema de este es que aunque lo tengas en el extremo se sigue escuchando un poco del otro.
Awesome machine! Easy to use and a total quality sound
So far really good. Feels solid and produces very clean sound with a pretty good range coupled with a Shure mic. The instructions that come with it are brief to say the least so you’d have to read the online manual on the Presonus website. For example, don’t connect your mic until you’re sure whether it needs (or may be damaged by) phantom power. Also (top tip) get yourself a good pair of headphones from monitoring – I spent a long time trying to eliminate sound that was actually not recorded but just came through as I monitored the input and played back…doh.
Sounds fantastic but for some reason when I plug it into my desktop PC the sound options on my PC flick rapidly between the AudioBox and my monitor sound, then like magic after about 5/10 mins it suddenly sorts itself out It’s plugged into a USB 2.0 socket as per the instructions. Other than that issue is a great bit of kit for the money.
Love my Presonus audio box. Once registered you get a full copy of Studio one which is an awesome bit of software. Really easy to use plus loads of free tutorials.
This has MIDI IN/OUT an integral part of electronic music. You might not need it now but later when buying hardware, you’ll be happy you picked one box with MIDI. With the CCK you’ll be able to record video with DIRECT LINE IN AND IN STEREO. No horrendous sound from the phone internal mic. Connecting this box to the iphone/Ipad and you’ll have crystal clear sound. Yes you’ll also need mics (like shure sm57 and cables) but is worth it. Just go to youtube and you’ll hear the difference. So for podcasting like having 2 mics for the conversation while using the phone for VIDEO is just amazing. Add a Sandmarc iPhone lens and you’ll be golden.
This works with ASIO beautifully. PreSonus has been working with ASIO for years and it shows. Other more obscure audio interfaces could be more finicky with WIndows but since PreSonus has already sold thousands of these things they have gotten plenty reports already to have it fixed. The more popular the item, the more chances you’ll have finding solutions in forums, Reddit, etc.
The included software is adequate as well. Obviously they wont include the full version (full version of Ableton is $750 ffs) Ableton Live Lite is 8 tracks with plenty free sounds and synths so is a good way to give it a go. This isnt a 30 day trial or anything, the limit is 8 tracks and if you buy full version then tracks are limited only by how powerful is your computer. So those reviews about software not working… sorry person, this hobbie aint for you. Cannot say about PreSonus’ Studio One since I dont use it.
For the negatives I think the knobs are somewhat crowded and that the volume knob would be cool to have a big one on top like other audio interfaces but inmy case, once I find the sweet spot I rarely touch the knobs and control volume and other things in the software. Also no knob on top allowed me to put the ipad on top which has a magnetic case so it’ll stick securely with the audio interface (didn’t plan it but hey, better then expected!). I would recommend it to a friend and I wouldn’t sell mine even if I have a big mixer, it too damn versatile when you know all it’s possibilities.
Great works perfect for what I want it for great recordings and easy to use
I wish it came with a pop filter but it works really good
I haven’t used it for long, but it’s a great device for the cost. I had a humming issue, but careful browsing of F.A.Q. and the resources that presonus has to troubleshoot noise (it is a usb 2.0 powered and interfacing device, I haven’t fully looked into whether it can be powered with an isolated USB power source, and ran through the out channels, which would solve my noise issues more than I was able to. Using the wrong USB port will cause noise on this device, for me, I have to use my back panel USB port #1 specifically to have the best noise, as it is the first port on the base of the computer (with my Motherboard and chipset)
Sound from my AKG P420 is clean and warm. Never distorts or pops. I’m no sound expert, but my raw recordings need very little cleanup to have a “youtube” quality sound, and if I was producing content, rather than having this device for discord, I would be harder on it.
If I wanted better, I’d have spend 5 to 10 times the cost or built a multi-isolated rack/cabinet (again, 5-10 times the cost of this to start).
Though the box itself is the best I have used, this being my 2nd of the same, but slightly upgraded model, I found it very difficult to load the accompanying program software due to incorrect information concerning compatibility with my Windows 7 OS. Though it says that Studio 5 is compatible with Windows 7 it is not. After several support tickets which only received non-personal standard links which led me in circles nowhere was I finally able to create enough of a demand to finally get some personal help which helped by stating that Windows 7 could only work with their version of Studio 4. While attempting to then download and install this version further difficulties were again taken care of personally with specific instructions on how to correct the problem with a Windows 7 fix which eventually sorted out the problem and allowed the successful finally of the Studio 4 software. It was a waste of time and energies having to keep on insisting to get personal assistance rather than being shunted towards many useless links which could have been avoided with a straight forward one to one approach to my simple and uncomplicated explanation of my original problem. The end result was a very courteous and helpful personal help however which I am grateful for and it would help if their information printed online and that which is supplied with the product, printed on the box and in the instructions, were updated t simply show the correct limitations to using their version 5 of their Studio software with Windows 7.
So far it’s working alright, I left it for a while before using it because I was waiting for my speakers to arrive, I have not done any recording yet but so far, it works well.
As a starting point for recording your own music, this is an excellent choice dealing with latency issues nicely. Sure, there are cheaper alternatives but the build quality and functionality of this box are major selling points. Midi in and out works well. Bear in mind that this is via DIN sockets – if your midi device connects via USB, you need to connect direct to PC/Mac. The two analogue inputs allow recording of two guitars at once if required. These inputs can also be used as microphone sockets, catering for XLR connections and providing phantom power at the touch of a button if required. Bear in mind that headphones are a necessity for microphone recording to avoid feedback. Monitor speakers can be connected directly but the headphone jack can be used with (cheaper) active PC speakers to get you started. And if that isn’t enough, included in the price is the truly superb Studio One 5 Artist software as a download when the box is registered.
I use different type and brands of Audio/midi interfaces with different computers. Its small and does the job as per requirement. Front inputs are handy and easy to use. Sound quality is nice and clean. There isnt any problem with drivers as its easily available ffrom the website.
Not used it yet but unboxed and everything seems to be there. Just waiting to get monitors before actually use it. Will download the Software asap.
This is my first attempt at using an audiobox. Was really easy to get set up after watching some DAW tutorials on YouTube. Good sound as well. Also well built, not likely to be easily broken.
El producto es excelet, pero su conectividad es 2.0 no es la ms rpida, hay interfases en el mercado de mayor velocidad, adems de puertos thunderbolt, 3.1 etc, reconsiderara el comprar otra interfase solo por este hecho, en fin, viene con studio One artist, 5 activaciones y adems viene con el programa impact XT y varios sintetizadores gratuitos, Plugins que valen fcilmente el precio del producto, algunos externos por ejemplo de kanghelm, brainworks bx, plugin alliance, etc.. infinidad de loops e instrumentos y una interfaz muy profesional.
Hayuchas extensiones en hardware para Presonus, por lo cual se le puede sacar provecho an. A estos productos. Un punto en contra a dems de la velocidad de transferencia de datos es que el controlador UNIVERSAL CONTROL me ha dado tremendos problemas en mi reproduccin de vdeo, pero mi PC es ensamblada y nueva entonces an estoy buscando uma solucin, sin embargo el no instalar el controlador no me impide el uso de la interfaz, pero si tengo problemas pero creo que son ms de mi equipo, necesito comprobar usndola con otra computadora.
En fin si no piensas grabar mucha informacin, que afinal de cuentas solo son dos canales, este equipo es para ti, sin embargo deberas de proyectar tu visin a 3 o 5 aos. El USB est por desaparecer.
La calidad es buensima su material ni se diga, he de confesar que es ms bonita en persona que en fotos.
Great value for money. Easy to set up and use and the software is excellent. For a beginner to home recording this bit of kit is perfect. Recording acoustic guitar plugged straight in sounds good but I would still recommend using a decent condenser microphone for the best quality. There’s some great video tuition on the website as well. Well worth the money.
Best investment for the dollar I have made in a long time.
Very nice machine, comes with software and midi and everything a man could wa
The Audiobox is very easy to use. Instruments and mics sound clear through it. Works perfectly well through my pretty basic HP laptop. Using it as an effects unit between the guitar and amplifier with the Studio one software it comes with is great and any lag is negligible at the right settings. It’s a rock-solid device that does what you need it to.
Great audio interface. I used an old one with a firewire interface, which is a bit tricky to run on a Windows 10 64bit machine due to older drivers, and the firewire interface.
The audiobox was so easy to setup. Plugin in the USB, download the official drivers and everything was working within seconds. I don’t know how some people are having troubles with the setup. This was much easier than their older firebox, which STILL ran on W10 64bit.
Excellent value, just missing a line level input. Works well.
A great interface at an affordable price, well worth the money
Nice unit, sounds great.
Im running a 303 through midi n inputs plus a mic. No problems at all
When I was performing there was no recording software, there was no home PC’s! That is how old I am! “)
Back in the day musicians had to find a sugar mama to shack up with and support them while they played rock star! Rocks stars do not work! LOL!
We had to really tighten our belts while living on a shoestring budget and as soon as we saved enough to pay for a few hours we hit the studio! Studios were charging $200 plus an hour at that time.
Supply and demand dictated studio hourly rates and so if you wanted to record your original material you were gonna pay or remain a wannabe!
Fast forward to post PC where 9 of 10 households have at least two computers and recording software started popping up such as Cakewalk which were very expensive, complex and loaded with ticks and bugs! You practically had to have a university level degree in recording software or, again, remain a wannabe!
Reaper was the first to offer a fairly user friendly program and at just under $30 for a full version with lifetime upgrades Reaper was the Ford Model T of it’s era! Reaper brought pro recording to the masses where pretty much anyone could afford it and start creating great professional sounding music at home for a tiny fraction of a small percentage of the cost.
Now PreSonus has put together a variety of bundles to fit most people’s budgets and with PreSonus there’s no need to buy any additional equipment because inside these bundles you got everything you need to to download the software, connect the interface, plug in vocal mics/guitars etc and start recording immediately!
There are multiple instructional videos on YouTube which anyone can follow and understand, including complete novices!!
I highly recommend PreSonus. For the money you just cannot beat it!…”beat it”?…hmmm sounds like an awesome song title! “)
I bought this to begin with and now i am watching my studio slowly grow. I feel like studio one five was made for me. The mic leaves really nice sound for its price.
https://youtu.be/WxomMFEZvBc
This link is especially for the MS OFFICE 10 users. I am sure you will get such a tutorial if you have MAC.
I am yet to start using the Studio One to create songs and Podcasts, that will need lot of help from suitable YouTube tutorials and practice. Nevertheless, I am absolutely sure I will enjoy that Journey very soon.
Thank you very much for reading this feedback, Thank You so much Presonus for this AWESOME product. Like many others I too was stuck on the dilemma : Focusrite or Presonus. I read somewhere in Amazon feedback that the ProTools that one gets free with Focusrite package are very difficult to access. So I was scared. And somehow I always found Presonus design quite sober and sophisticated. And don’t forget that Presonus gives you the MIDI to even plug in instruments like which unfortunately is not a feature in Focusrite. That together are TWO BIG ADVANTAGES Presonus has over Focusrite.
Light and Love, All Of You!

Prem Shri:
Had this for a few months not one thing wrong with it I can’t fault it at all, an amazing bundle great for beginners ! Of your looking to start out or even looking for something that is cheap but can compete with more expensive bundles like this I would invest you can’t go wrong best money I spent in a while 🙂
Excellent piece of kit. Just plug and play, make sure your DAW recognises it then no problems.
I chose this interface because my producer uses Studio One and recommended it. If you are starting with nothing, buying this will be a cost effective way to get going.
Downloading the VST plugins is as bad as everyone here describes. It is truly hell, and that’s not really Presonus fault, but Presonus did make it seem like they were their own plugins. Some of the plugins are only free trials as well, not even plugins that are included. Some plugins are “free versions” too.
Software hell aside, I wish there was more than ONE audio output. It would be extremely helpful for two musicians to have control of headphone volumes.
Also there is a cool blend of dry monitor and computer output monitor, you can turn it to dry and get a zero-latency monitor signal, which of course eliminates your metronome… That has caused issues for me.
Only having two inputs is a huge burden, but apparently thats what you get unless you spend a thousand dollars on gear.
As far as I know, there isn’t another piece of hardware that is better for less money. Get the scarlet is you want PT, and this if you want S1.
The hardware: Easy to set up, runs off of PC USB connection. Solid construction, easy to use physical interface. Most of the audio display will be in whatever software you are using, but does have red light indicators for clipping. Sound quality has been very good both with the included mic and others plugged in. I would reccomend a good pair of studio monitors be attached if you don’t want to have the headphones on all the time.
The Software: It is a bit of a pain to set up initially, but provides a lot of good options once you have done so. I am primarily using 3rd party software like Audacity and the Sound Forge Suite, but that is a personal preference. When I’ve used the programs included in this purchase they have been solid offerings. Note: I am only recording vocals, not instruments, so I am referring only to my experience with vocal audio quality.
Overall: I am very pleased with this purchase and strongly reccomend it. Just expect that to use the software included you will need to set aside a few hours for registering/installing/customization.
I bought this with no knowledge of recording, on recommendation of a friend so I could record tracks for our church band during lockdown. It’s been great and I use it for both direct recording for the keyboard, and microphone recording for vocals. I find it hard to get a decent sound with the microphone, I always have to amplify it hugely in my audacity program, but I’m sure that’s either my mike or my lack of technical ability, rather than the box. For my needs, it’s been great.
Works very well with garage band, pleased with my purchase.
There are two mic/line/instrument pres as well as a MIDI hub in the back of the interface. That means that you can record up to three things total. 2 lines and 1 MIDI. This is a major advantage over other interfaces.
Please do consider this interface, especially since it comes with everything you need to get started with obtaining high quality recordings. I personally recommend this interface because it has the two combo pres, the mic, and the headphones for less than most other studio bundles.
If you are wondering, you can definitely plug the line out from your guitar amp with a speaker cable to one of the line/inst. inputs on the front of the interface.
IMPORTANT: If you are experiencing any weird clicking issues, it is likely because the sample rate or size is too low. I remember thinking that I should only set it to 128 samples, but that led to audio problems with guitar preamps. I recommend 512 samples to be safe.
Excellent piece of kit with many features, once I fathomed how to record and save files it was a joy to work with
Can’t understand all the negative comments. I suppose if you can’t get it to work fair enough. I personally have had no problems whatsoever. I am basing this on many years of use. Formatted my computer quite a few times and every time it installs perfectly afterwards. 10 on 10
Cam be quite difficult setting up bit worth the value foe those just getting into recording
Does what it says with plenty of ins and outs for home set up use. Recognised & Integrates perfectly with Presonus Studio One.
los auriculares son INCREBLES!!! Lo bien que asla y se escucha.
El sonido de los altavoces perfectos
EcualiZador simple pero perfecto
El micrfono perfecto
PEGAS:
El software para alguien novato/a como yo no es sencillo, creo que lo nico que le falla por poner alguna pega es que en su pgina hubiera un tutorial para aprender a usarlo.
Por lo dems no puedo hablar ms de l porque no entiendo.
Pero vamos que lo recomiendo por el precio y todo lo que trae y la calidad lo volvera a comprar.
My old Tascam was no longer compatible with the newer software on my apple laptop so I invested in this. It installed with no problem, no latency and great sound quality. Really impressed. I use it with Maschine, Reason and Ableton.
For the price, this is an excellent interface. Comes complete with Studio One 4 which is also very good.
Highly recommended.
Bought as a portable sound card for using guitar rig live. Works perfectly
Mic preamp is excellent, I have a focus rite as well but I mainly use the PreSonus because the monitor mix control is so handy, is so much better.
Does what it says on the tin. Great quality microphone, good audio quality through the headphones and although small, the speakers pack a punch – Studio one 4 Artist is a breeze, easy to get to grips with having enough basic tools for home recording in studio quality.
I returned the product even before I opened it, because I no longer needed it. So, I give 4 stars to avoid penalising it by default. Read other users to find out more about it.
Arrived today….plug & play with iMac and Logic x Pro. Does what it says and at a significant lower cost than the Scarlet.
Being USB powered is a great USP.
Fingers x….so far so good…..4 * for now.
build quality is great and for the price its phenomenal what you get. once the stuio one suite is downloaded you also get loads of plug ins for free too.
Works and looks as advertised, perfect for my needs, love the quality and everything 🙂
For those who want to sound professional without breaking the bank and going through a thousand settings, this is the kit you need; simple straight forward and easy to set up.
I bought this to use with the included software Studio One Artist. I make beats and want to start building and recording my tracks which previously I could only play “live”. The audiobox is very solid and not too big, the two inputs are fine for what I need. I would highly recommend this product.
Worth the price just for the free DAW Software but the hardware performs well also. Brilliant!
I bought this to record my guitar for my band . The audio quality if the microphone and headphones is amazing! Interface can easily be installed and had no problems setting it up. The licence for Studio One also grants access to multiple plugins courtesy of Person is. Definitely would recommend for people getting into audio recording
I’ve had my Audiobox for just over 3 years now, and it’s one of the most reliable pieces of equipment I’ve ever bought. I use it with Logic Pro X on my Macbook Air, recording with a very cheap 20 condenser microphone, and I’ve produced some really high-quality, professional-sounding recordings. It’s a very simple piece of kit, with 2 dials for the levels of each input, and 2 LEDs which flash if there’s any clipping. Because of how small it is, I’ve taken it to countless venues to record concerts, and it’s never failed me once.
I can’t recommend this enough – either for beginners who are just starting with audio recording, or professionals who need some light-weight equipment for easy travelling. Absolutely fantastic hardware.
As many reviews have noted, PreSonus have email marketing deals on allowing you to upgrade the Artist version to the Pro version at an overall excellent price. In my circumstance it turned out cheaper to buy this and upgrade to pro than just buying Pro version outright! Amazing.
As a pro tools user I’ve found the move to presonus easy, it’s certainly similar to Pro Tools which helps and seems to work much faster on my setup.
Note, you need to buy the Artist VST plugin to work with 3rd Party VST’s or upgrade to the Pro version.
Set-up is quite straight-forward. You don’t have to install the Studio One Artist software immediately if you don’t want to, in which case all you have to do is register on PreSonus’ website, download and install a couple of files, plug all the leads into the box, and plug the USB lead from the box into your PC. This also acts as the power lead, so one less cable.
If like me you already have a favourite DAW (I use Reaper), you need to enter the audio and MIDI settings. So, in Reaper Preferences, Audio system is ASIO, driver is AudioBox ASIO Driver; MIDI settings are AudioBox USB 96 MIDI In & AudioBox USB 96 MIDI Out. Be aware that if you use MIDI the Audiobox96 contains no MIDI sounds, unlike my old Soundblaster. I believe this is the case with competing audio/MIDI boxes so I would not mark it down for this. Therefore, you will depend on using VST instruments and/or a DXi softsynth such as CoyoteWT, or of course your keyboard synth’s internal sounds.
In use, the preamps give a clear sound with no detectable noise nor latency. I monitor guitar input via Reaper with the mixer knob turned all the way to Playback and so far have had no reason to move it. I have my guitar going through a Joyo British Sound and it sounds great but you have to experiment with the levels so as not to induce clipping.
In case you were wondering, this unit takes over all the functions of your internal audio so you can still play mp3s through it!
Conclusion: great audio and build quality, enough inputs for a small home studio, good price and included software if you need it.
