    • The good and the average
Update: After reading the full manual on the product, I learned that, regarding Latency, that using the MIx knob and putting it all the way to the right when playing will make the delay tolerable and it does in practice today. Along with wiring the inputs and outputs differently (Instrument in and output to PA input and Midi out to it's port on Audio box). Also lowering the buffer to 64 for recording, if the laptop can handle it without distortion, is better, and raising the buffer on playback to 2048. I also learned, reading the Presonus document on Latency, that there are different levels of equipment with lower latency. The model 24c of the same box has USB-C which is much faster, but you need a computer or Android that has that to take advantage of it. Or the really expensive Quantum products are the top of the line. So with my current USB older type I'm going to declare victory with the box (although I'm taking a star away for all the software pain that one goes through.) I got the Audio unit about 4 days ago. The packaging is fine and there is nothing missing, per se. But safe to say the photos of software included above are just that. Photos. There is one sheet of paper that sends you the Presonus website and that's where the hours of fun begins (long before you bother with wiring up the box) assuming you have an interest in using Studio One. If not, well then it will be easy to setup and use. But let's assume you do want to use Studio One and all the Plug In's offered, it is a long journey. I literally spent the better part of 16 hours downloading and installing the various software and having issues activating the new version of Artist. A phone call went nowhere as they no longer offer phone support for installation issues. (And I am a 20 year IT professional). As another person said, the Plug In's send you one at a time to various websites, most of which use different methods from one another to register and finally to download the single plugin they offer for free. Hours and hours of time. And many of the things I did required searching to get the answers how to do things. As an example, the Audio box comes with a small manual with the minimum assistance. I finally realized there is zero info that will help with the Midi connections or with the details in the software. A Google search finally found the full manual for the box and all the details. The box itself is well made. Knobs function well and I see no weakness's. The Stick on rubber feet are a bit cheesy, but other than that, it's solid. The last thing I will say about it was once I finally got it up and working fully, there is a bit of latency with a Midi keyboard running through the box and to a laptop with a USB connection. I would say it's a given that Midi to USB is going to have some latency. Even upping the buffer size in the box Control software didn't improve that. I think if that is a major concern, you probably need to have a computer that has Midi built into it rather than USB. There are hundreds and hundreds of pre-programmed instruments in Studio One 4, and when I played many through a Mixer and Amp to speakers at normal volume, I would say that most are average to above average. A digital mimic of the real thing. And response to a Midi keyboard is marginally effective to the actual instrument. I like some of the piano's and the Tenor Saxophone sounds good as vibrato is added. But there are many instruments, like the Trumpet and other Saxes that have no vibrato and, as I read, you can't add it to the patch. So I guess I see limited value to the setup. The main value I see will be my playing an instrument into the PA and out to the laptop and recording it. Even if there is a lag, it can still be synced later. I haven't tried that yet and listened for a lag. But I will and I'll add it later as an update. ... show more

    • Son loved it
My son asked for this as a gift and said that it has been amazing and he is glad that we purchased this one and not something that was significantly more expensive.

    • It's a good price, but is it worth it?
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. ... show more

    • It's economical, but works with WIN 10 for me.
I bought this with a gift card because my M2 and my Edirol are older and do not work well with WIN 10. I got tired of trying to get them to work and decided to give PreSonus a chance. I initially had problems getting it to work with my CakeWalk ( old stuff , I know) and tried their Studio One 5. I am now working with it a little here and there and it seems to be OK. Stable, at least. I have my eye on the Tascamm Studio 2 and may resort to the expense if this thing doesn't give me the results I want. I haven't been playing that much recently. We'll see. ... show more
