I really liked this mixer. After updating the firmware, it did a great job as an audio interface. I loved the fat channel presets for vocals. The downside is this: I bought this as a hybrid solution…looks and feels analog, but saves scenes and has remote access, and a small footprint…..but the details: remote access only works with a laptop and a router attached via usb…that was a deal killer for me.

I have nothing but good things to say about this board and the Studio One software that comes with it.It was super easy to set up there are a ton of YouTube videos that explain how to set up your individual channels for inputs like voice mics, drums, guitar, keyboards etc.And the recording software (DAW) is really easy to use and powerful. I did the upgrade to the full professional version of the software because they ran a special the 50% off and it allows me to install it on up to five devices. The quality of playback of the original live music coming into the board through the software is 100% accurate. Once you have your levels set for the inputs on the devices the recording from playback sounds just like it’s being played live. It’s also easy to mix down and export songs from Studio One, if you’re not familiar with using a DAW, this is an easy one to learn. I’ve talked to so many other musicians that are using the same set up and love that I can share songs easily.

Bought this unit Feb 2022 and built a custom desk around the unit. This was a big purchase for me. The unit it never left the smoke free home. Had zero complaints and it was perfect for the home recording I was doing. Everything was perfect. Today I go to switch it on, and the screen glows blue and nothing else works. Suddenly smelled the faint but distinct smell of electrical burn. The unit is toast.Not sure now to buy another one or go a different route and completely build a new desk.

Promptly delivered and great price! This mixer has all the bells and whistles I need for recording and mixing, and, works seamlessly with my Studio One DAW software. Learning curve for the mixer is shorter than I envisioned, so I was able to be productive fast.

Pre amps are great and the tech support is better. Easy to use perfect for home, small church, or club.

I bought this board after reading the recommendations, and thought it was a good first for me in entering the realm of digital mixing. However, I found the board to be extremely difficult to operate and configure. The manual sucks, and I ended up having to talk to customer support, after a long wait, just to get any sound out of it at all. After working with tech support for a half hour, I managed to get clean, dry sound out of channel one. I next tried to get the channel to have the EQ settings I wanted, and some reverb on the channel. Unfortunately, this turned out to be another impossible task. I’ve become so frustrated with this board, I wish I could return it for a refund. I need to make music, not become a digital scientist. I’ve since bought a Soundcraft analogue board which sounds excellent and is easy to operate. I’m stuck with this Presonus lemon. Maybe I can use it as a door stopper. I understand the world of digital sound is very different from analogue, but you shouldn’t need a PhD degree in science to perform simple tasks. A big thumbs down for this expensive white elephant.

Sehr gutes und erschwingliches Digital-MischpultWenn man sich die Specs anschaut, kann es mit neuen Modellen die das doppelte kosten locker mithalten. Ich kann es sehr empfehlen. Es gibt zwar keine Motorfader, doch denen traue ich momentan auch noch nicht so ganz im rauen Tour-Alltag, oder besser gesagt, habe da etwas Respekt vor den zierlichen Dingern. Hier ist alles robust verarbeitet und funktioniert hervorragend. Es gibt außerdem eine Funktion die zumindest anzeigt wie die Fader und in welcher Position standen. Ein weiteres tolles Produkt von Presonus, das in dieser Variante auch mit dem verbesserten USB Anschluß daherkommt und nicht mehr mit dem veralteten FireWire.
