Solo il software vale piu’ della scheda audio che e’ gia’ ottima. Altamente sorpreso
Avevo gia’ una scheda audio (una vecchia Tascam US-122), ma dopo aver provato la versione free del software Presonus One Artist, pensavo di acquistarlo (prezzo 99 Euro). Vedendo su Amazon che la scheda PreSonus Studio24c offriva in bundle lo stesso software, piu’ una montagna di plugin, effetti, strumenti, samples ecc per soli 25 euro in piu’ rispetto al software, ho scelto di prendere la scheda audio completa e di mandare in pensione la vecchia Tascam (dopo 20 anni). Per la qualita’ audio mi fido delle recensioni, ma le prime prove con monitor KRK Rokit stanno dando ottimi risultati. La sorpresa invece arriva proprio dal software in bundle. Presonus Artist 6 e’ nella versione completa (non trial ecc) con tutte le sue dotazioni di effetti, vsti ecc. In piu’ ci sono ancora i software Izotope e una montagna di roba che mi ci vorra’ giorni per scaricarla ed installarla. Insomma una DAW completa che consente di avere tutto sotto mano, e solo questo vale appunto il prezzo della scheda audio, che peraltro e’ sicuramente piu’ performante della vecchia tascam della quale non ci sono neppure piu’ i drivers per le versioni 64 bit. Per quanto riguarda la qualita’ costruttiva, nulla da dire : aspetto solido e materiali gradevoli. Forse l’ingresso cuffia nella parte posteriore e’ un briciolo scomoda, ma qui stiamo a cercare il pelo nell’uovo (non tolgo certo delle stellette per questo motivo, peraltro risolvibile con una prolunghetta). Per il resto nulla da dire, se non l’apprezzamento per la scelta di PreSonus di offrire bundle completi per l’home studio (a ognuno il suo direi, vista l’ampia gamma di prodotti hardware).Aggiornamento dopo un giorno di prova : non posso aggiungere altre stelle, altrimenti ne metterei 20.Il software in bundle e’ ricchissimo (e soltanto Studio One Artist fa ripagare del 70% del prezzo della scheda audio), e contiene una quantita’ incredibile di effetti, synth vst di ogni genere (perfino un modulare), loop, samples e tanta di quella roba da rendere il computer una DAW piu’ che completa. Generalmente ho sempre suonato sintetizzatori hardware, ma a questo punto avere una collezione cosi’ ricca di virtual synth di software house famose (arturia, iZotope ecc), consente anche di arricchire le mie produzioni sulla DAW. Presonus mi ha davvero stupito e non poco.Unica nota impegnativa (per modo di dire) e’ che per ogni produttore che offre il suo bundle, occorre creare account e registrarsi, ma e’ un modo per far conoscere i loro portali e i loro prodotti. Il software di fatto e’ completo (non demo o free) e viene concesso con i numeri di serie presenti nel portale di Presonus. Nella descrizione della scheda audio c’e’ scritto che assieme al prodotto c’e’ un bundle di software per un valore di 1000$. Beh non ho fatto il conto totale, ma il valore del bundle supera nettamente il prezzo della scheda audio, che peraltro e’ ottima. Non sono endorser del marchio, ed ho scritto i dettagli sul software fornito unicamente perche’ prima dell’acquisto avevo dei dubbi e nelle domande/risposte ho trovato spiegazioni poco dettagliate. 100 stelle a Presonus !.

Ottima scheda, economica ma ben fatta con quello che serve
Ne avevo un’altra più piccola e mi piaceva, questa ha il driver migliore e permette latenze più basse. La qualità sonora è eccellente, l’ASIO è presente è permette latenze fino a 32 campioni, ottimo! Unico difetto? Quando si accende il computer emette un “bump” sulle casse, a quando un piccolo relais?Il supporto è decente ma ti “costringe” a registrarti! Questo è inaccettabile e andrebbe cambiato.La costruzione è ottima, piuttosto pesantuccia perchè di alluminio e lamiera ma molto resistente, buona anche la scelta di mettere due micro VU Meter sul fontale e buona idea il foro per non farsela fregare al volo anche se poi non si sa cosa farci, sarebbe utile avere indicazioni a riguardo.Il manuale è insufficente ma non come quelli cinesi, qualche indicazione di base la dà! Arriva in una scatoletta appena più grande dell’interfaccia, stranamente ben imballata di lato e in basso ma a mio parere insufficente sopra, infatti la mia aveva un segno che era coincidente a quello sulla scatola ma mi serviva subito! Un buon acquisto, consigliata

Easy to set up and sounds phenomenal
I bought this so that I could record my Behringer Neutron synthesizer in my DAW. I had never done anything like this before so I was a little hesitant on what brand and model to get. I settled on the 24c and it has everything I will need for a long while, including Midi Ports on the back. The comparable Scarlett model does not and is slightly more expensive. Once I installed the universal control and plugged it in, it was ready for use and I was able to record within 5 min. Plus, although I did not need it, it came with Studio One Artist, Ableton Live Lite, Music Loops, VST plugins and more. It really is a great deal!

gain for dynamic mic(sm58) is not enough
Pro:studio one 6 artist software (you can register your product online and download software or choose optional discount on subscription to full professional suit called presonus sphere)usb powered (comes with a cables usb c2c and c2a)it has mixer knob (input playback)sound output seems good to me(as a beginner I’m not sure yet)Con:I had to purchase mic amp additionally (Rs 12,000) to accomodate for my dynamic mic (sm58).Tip:Update firmware using universal control app (from presonus). My mic amp (which i purchased aditionally) started to work only after the firmware update.

Awesome Interface
The LED lights are great for monitoring your input and output. This is the second Presonus audio interface that I have, and I love them

Abandoned product, no support, no stereo monitoring. At least it is DC coupled. Malicious software.
Seems to be high enough quality except for the fact that I can’t actually configure it from the software side via the universal control app. It is wanting me to “update” my firmware to v2.21 before I can use it. It’s worth noting that this shipped with v2.22 – They shipped out a version they can’t actually support in software. Most of the config I need I can access from the DAW itself, and running it on OSX really alleviates the need for anything too special as everything is baked in, so this isn’t a deal breaker, it’s just strange.Also, I have to reboot the device itself if I reboot my machine for any reason, often with plugging/unplugging the interface to get it to show up. This happens with plenty of other USB-C to USB-A cables, and it happens regardless of port I use.If you need help, then good luck actually getting any support from presonus! There’s literally no way to contact support at this point in time, maybe you will be lucky enough to have your forum post or your question actually show up. Consider this a community supported device at best, so be comfortable with digging through forums.That being said – It’s a high quality interface. It works very well with logic. It works with CV tools and Silent Way. It does everything I want it to do so far. OSX means that extra config tools are largely unneeded (I think, there’s no way to actually see what the “Universal” tool lets you set on this). I can record from any source I have, and I can route audio the way I wanted. Reliability has been rock solid outside of the above “reboot” issue. This is a pretty simple interface, and that isn’t a bad thing.Most importantly, this is one of the few DC coupled interfaces out there. If that’s something that is important to you, and this has the appropriate amount of IO for your needs, this is a great option.— UPDATE Aug 16 2019 —Ok, I’m dropping a star here. There’s no way to get direct monitoring in stereo that I can see, which is a pretty significant oversight. Software configuration of this is still nonexistent. I’ve been seeing strange behavior with the audio rate not remaining consistent. Since there hasn’t been any support to talk to, I went ahead and “updated” the firmware (i.e. installed the version actually available, which is one version older than what I have) since that was required for the universal config tool. The good news is that i could use the “universal configuration” utility after that “upgrade”, the bad news is that it doesn’t do a damned thing I need it to, and there was no way to know this until I was able to run it, since it isn’t documented. Let’s hope the firmware update didn’t break something.Support is still practically nonexistent, although I can apparently open a ticket (finally) – I’m skeptical that it will be answered, I’ll update if it is – otherwise, assume it hasn’t been. Documentation is very limited compared to other interfaces – Over half of it is dedicated to the recording software that I’ll never use, and details on the hardware are really lacking. If this wasn’t useful for control voltages, I’d have given up on it by now – Shame it’s more useful for CVs than for audio. Guess I’ll be dedicating this to CVs and mono inputs.Guess there’s a reason this is one of the less expensive DC coupled interfaces.– FURTHER UPDATE 10/06/2019 –I was able to open a ticket regarding stereo monitoring after a lot of trouble with their interface, they requested a dump of my OS config which was totally unneeded and then followed up a day later with what was effectively “what was your question again?” (I’ll note that my question was if it was possible to do direct monitoring in stereo and was quite clear), and I kept trying to log into the system to reply, but it wouldn’t let me. This ticket auto-closed in like a day. Support is a joke.– FINAL UPDATE 12/14/2020 –It’s been a year and a half. “Universal control” still doesn’t support the firmware that shipped on the device. There have been no further updates. I never got a good answer on any of my questions. This product apparently was abandoned upon shipping. I guess they don’t care about anything other than their higher-end products, if they even care about those. No way I’ll ever know if they care, because there’s no way I’d ever purchase anything higher end from them based on this experience.—- FINAL FINAL UPDATE —-Yeah, I don’t know why I dug this back out instead of getting another interface – I just needed some more audio ins and had this laying around. Well, when I thought things couldn’t get worse — THEY DID. I’ve been troubleshooting my desktop all day because it’s freezing on boot, and just now found the culprit. Can you guess what it is, since I’m writing it in this review? It’s specifically the universal control software that is breaking things. I should have never updated it, or even installed it in the first place since it doesn’t do anything useful. And honestly, I should have just set this interface on fire a long time ago. I’m definitely done with it — and presonus — for good. The only reason I’m not setting it in fire tonight is because setting electronics on fire isn’t exactly great for anyone’s health or air quality. So off to the electronics recycler it goes.

Buona interfaccia audio
Buon prodotto,buoni anche i software in omaggio, funziona bene,ma consiglierei al produttore di aggiungere un interruttore per accendere e spegnere il dispositivo.

Get’s the job done
I’ve owned the Scarlett and Axe I/O previously, and this is my favorite interface so far. As a solo musician that sometimes records with stereo mics, it has exactly what I need, and leaves out what I don’t. My biggest complaint about the Axe I/O is that it has extra bells and whistles I don’t use such as a preset selector, crowding the unit with unnecessary buttons, knobs, and inputs. The PreSonus did it right by leaving out such bells and whistles, and the sound quality is superb. The gain meters are easy to read. The input are easy to access. It has two monitor inputs and a headphone jack, which is all I need at my level of recording. You can’t go wrong with this little interface.
