The sound quality is superior to what I had before (m-audio m-track solo). The sounds were dirty with a ton of feedback. Here the sound is clear and delightful!

5.0 out of 5 stars Meets my needs just fine for a simple home music studio
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2023
After reading reviews of several audio interface devices, I choose the PreSonus 24c mostly for its two input channels and the included software.
I think the additional cost if any, for a two channel unit was worth it.
It was easy to setup the interface unit but it will take some time to learn how to effectively use the Studio One software. But I was able to make basic recordings quickly. I have not tried the other software that is available with the purchase.
I do not have studio monitors so have only used headphones but since it’s a home studio, that keeps the noise level down.
No issues so far and would recommend.
I’m using the unit to record electric and acoustic guitar playing and a little vocals for my own use.

Reviewed in Brazil on February 19, 2024
Demorou um pouco por conta da greve na receita, chegou um pouco amassado. Mas nada que comprometeu o produto.
Sem sobra de dúvidas foi o melhor negócio que fiz em relação a produção musical. O produto apresenta muita qualidade, só em pegar você sente que o material é muito bom. Tem alguns softwares que são em inglês, mas nada muito complicado. É só pegar a prática que você grava sem problemas no Pc. Gravei com um pga58 da shure, e não encontrei nenhum ruído. Usei cabos de qualidade também, por isso o só não apresentou nenhum tipo de ruído. Recomendo demais pra quem está começando na área de home Studio! Pretendo fazer um isolamento acústico para gravar covers no quarto. Vendedor sempre me respondeu, e me deu um brinde quando chegou o produto. Recomendo a loja, e os produtos. Obrigado pelos serviços, e até a próxima compra!
