There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.
The product is physically high quality but documentation and instructions are tricky to find. After 2 days I've been able to get it to do the exact thing I got this model for, having read numerous forums on ableton, OBS, etc.
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.

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!

Certes, cette interface Audio est déjà d'un bon prix mais je suis maintenant dans un environnement sonore fabuleux, exceptionnel : j'ai changé de monde. Je prends petit à petit mes marques et découvre à chaque utilisation le monde de la PRESONUS 1824c, ses réglages pointus ainsi que sa configuration dans les logiciels fournis : pas évident lorsque l'on sort du monde des cartes son internes, je dirai basiques...
Je ne regrette en rien mon achat et le conseille ! ! !
