PreSonus Studio 24c 2x2, 192 kHz, USB Audio Interface with Studio One DAW Recording Software

I’ve used a few different brands of audio interfaces in the past like Behringer, Mackie, M-Audio, and Focusrite. Now keep in mind it’s been a number of years since I’ve set any of them up and set-up has most probably gotten easier, but this Presonus 24c was the absolute easiest to get running. The documentation and sticker on the interface both tell you the website where to go and register your Presonus hardware.You’ll want to register because, aside from the warranty, you’ll be able to download both the drivers and a copy of Studio One, the ladder being recording software. You’ll be able to choose a lifetime license for Studio One Artist, or a 6 month license for Studio One Pro. I chose to just download Studio One Artist because I primarily prefer Sonar anyway. I will say, after messing around with Studio One though, I might just make the effort to learn my way around it more as I quite liked the way it’s laid out.The hardware itself, which I’m sure you’re most interested in is great! It sounds as clean as anything I’ve ever used and the mic pre’s are noiseless and colorless. Everything about the 24c is simply great!This is the first product by Presonus I’ve had the pleasure of using and I’m impressed to be sure. I recommend the 24c hands-down.

This was bought to upgrade a Presonus AudioBox USB that I got in 2013, which still works perfectly as intended, but is no longer sufficient for my needs. This unit covered every upgrade I needed for that system. There were not many of these available but I knew it was what I wanted. If you can't find one in stock at a fair price, any Presonus unit in the same range should be equally sufficient, but cost may vary greatly. Recording and playback are equally impressive. It is used for guitar, bass, and vocals, and does so quite well. It has been used now for several months and works as perfectly as it did on day one.It's a good size. Not too big or small and it easily fits into tighter spaces. No external power is needed as it runs off of the USB connection. It is very much a plug-and-play unit, simple and efficient.My only complaint on the whole interface, just like the box I replaced, is that there is no front option for the headphones. I hate that all of my headphone cables are permanently bent from always having to run them to the rear of these units. Even with that complaint, I give it 5 stars for what it is. The only reason to rate it lower would be if I was comparing it to larger, more powerful units.

the build quality is very good, and the quality of the audio is good for the price. definitely sufficient for podcasting and home recordings.im very happy with the product.

I was having a couple different issues with my previous interface so I was greatly in need of a replacement. Issues were poor latency (no built-in ASIO drivers for Windows) and no multi client support (also could have been resolved with native ASIO drivers). Ordered this little box from Presonus (I also use Studio One), swapped drivers on my PC, swapped cable routing, assigned the Presonus interface as my primary in and out for Window sound (I also (optionally) disabled ever other audio in and out) then selected the interface in Studio One. *I did also disable a couple unused plugins from with Studio One's settings to get everything working 100%. It's been smooth sailing ever since. I have zero-latency monitoring of my DAW as well as all system sound at the same time and I don't have to run any workaround software or mods. I no longer feel limited by my audio hardware. I had looked at getting one of these years ago. I wish I had. It would have saved me hours of frustration over those years.

This is a nice little unit with lots of features and flexibility, but it doesn’t have enough gain for a Shure SM7B. I ended up having to also buy a Cloudlifter, so whatever I saved buying this interface was effectively erased. As a newcomer to using a mic with my Mac, I wish I understood the gain requirements of the SM7B before buying this interface, which I’m sure is more than adeqate for many other mics.

Got this interface for my digital piano setup. Connected my piano via USB to MacBook, then MacBook to Studio 24c via USB-C. From there, output goes to my TubePre v2 preamp and HP4 headphone amp.The Studio 24c handles both audio and MIDI perfectly. Front panel has clear metering and the combo inputs accept both XLR and 1/4" cables. Direct monitoring lets me play without latency, and the build quality is sturdy with metal construction.Using this with Pianoteq 8.4 through my MacBook significantly improved my piano's sound quality compared to direct headphone output. Good value for home piano enthusiasts looking to upgrade their audio chain.

I have no idea what this is but my partner wanted it for birthday gift. He loves it and says it works fantastic. He uses it to play simultaneously while singing in an online app with his bandmate as well as for recording their songs. I hope that helps if you're considering buying this.
