  • Reliable and responsible, sounds fine
Very easy to use, recognized by all the DAWs I have on my Mac. But some of them don't see the minimal buffer size possible, in contrast with StudioOne. However, it sounds good everywhere. The only drawback is that it is impossible to turn Line mode separately for inputs 1 & 2. You can plug and record either 2 line inputs (like electric guitar, keyboard) or 2 mic inputs. So you cannot play and sing at the same time for recording/performance unless you have a separate external preamp for one of the channels. But this is not my case so far. For the ones who would like to have separate control over line/mic preamps, consider something else like more major model of PreSonus or whatever else interface. ... show more

  • Awesome Interface! Outstanding sound, quality, and value!
I am a Studio owner with tons of gear and do extensive testing and recording with said gear. I own several pieces of PreSonus gear all the way to the flagship StudioLive 64S Series III. I picked up the Studio 26C as a portable interface I can grab and go along with my old 2011 MacBook Pro running Capture and StudioOne 4.5. I have run this interface thru its paces and it sounds and performs extremely well. Very stable with Universal Control and allows zero latency monitoring in Studio One. I am using the Pro version, but this interface comes with the Artist Version and some great plugins. Not sure why some reviews are giving low ratings and stating that the interface can't be used without a computer. Well, it is an INTERFACE! Know what you are buying. As far as sample rate and sound quality, this price point is awesome. Would highly recommend this product. ... show more

  • Nice audio/midi interface, but superb software bundle
The Presonus 26C is a very nice audio interface with also provides midi ports, something many audio interfaces lack. The sound quality is good with both microphones and instruments. The big reason I made the purchase, however, if for the bundled software. While the interface alone is well priced, by the time you add the software bundle it is quite a good value. ... show more

  • Non-functional by design
Its reliance on defective software renders it entirely unusable for its intended purposes. The previous generation of presonus device I had planned to replace actually works while this one is an overpriced paperweight.

  • Fantastic product, but….
I bought the Presonus Studio 26c to record my vinyl collection at a high bit rate. Straight forward to use and I am getting fantastic results. Would’ve given this 5 stars, but I was sent a used product. The twist ties for the cables were loose in the box and a redeemable code for free software had already been used. I didn’t buy this for any of the included software, so I kept it and am happy with my purchase. However, the seller should have disclosed that this was a used item. I double checked before submitting my review and didn’t see a disclosure in the item description or specifications. The software advertised with this unit were available when I registered the unit, so I don’t know what that redeemable software license was for…. ... show more
