Studio 24c

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.

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!

Very nice interface. Like the metering display on the front. The knobs on the right are a bit cluttered for me, though, and I'd prefer a headphone jack on the front. Sound quality is excellent - the same or MAYBE slightly better than my Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen. Best of all, it works GREAT on my M1 Silicon MacBook Pro! Here's my use case in case you're curious: From the PreSonus website I downloaded and installed the Universal Control v3.4.1.63149 for macOS software (not sure if that was needed, but didn't hurt.) Hooked up the PreSonus to my M1 MacBook Pro using a StarTech USB-C Cable (TBLT3MM2M) - didn't try the cable included in the box. Ran a line out Y cable from my cassette player to the two inputs on the PreSonus. Then used Audacity on the Mac to record - worked perfectly! Was able to rip a cassette to .WAV file. Sounds amazing. Not sure on other use cases, but that's what worked for me. Although ultimately I prefer the more simple interface of the Scarlett, if I walked into a room and was told I had to use this PreSonus with the M1 MacBook Pro I'd feel confident and excited about it. Enjoy!

This is my second PreSonus, but first of this model. I purchased it for $170 in Feb 2020. This is my main audio interface for my studio PC. This PC (and the PreSonus) are powered on 24/7, with proper UPS and surge protection (a surge is what took my earlier PreSonus model out). I am in this studio about 8-12 hours every day, using this PC for everything. This interface has never ever failed me. Everything is crisp and clean. Response is fine. Gain levels are fine, with most knobs left near the middle and things gain-matched elsewhere. My 80ohm headphones are run through a separate pre-amp. I do not use the software, so cannot speak to that. This studio PC is an i9-9900k homemade open-air rig running Windows 10 Pro with all USB routed and grounded properly. I would guess that many of the critical reviews are from bedroom hobby "producers" who do not know how to set things up properly in a studio. I work mostly on the MPC platform, but went through a bout of GAS and have many smaller synths, and a few larger, mostly used for sound design. All routed through a Zoom L-8, then through an Analog Heat mkII, then into the PreSonus via balanced XLR (left on 1, right on 2). From there, out to a 24-channel rack mixer, compressor/limiter, exciter, etc. I have just under 50 tracks released on several platforms. Granted, I specialize in lo-fi BoomBap and TripHop, but have a few Jungle DnB and Liquid Dubstep tracks released. All sound amazing. (Or, when they do not, it's definitely not this interface's fault.) I have returned, in 2026, to buy another as a spare, only because I am afraid PreSonus will eventually stop making this wonderful workhorse of a model, and I am not seeing much better available out there, honestly. Please, PreSonus... you've made the perfect interface, here. Keep just making this. Don't even tweak it. <3

La conecté a mi PC con Windows 11 y funcionó al instante, sin instalar drivers. Fue totalmente plug-and-play y el audio se escucha limpio, fuerte y muy neutro (ideal para mezclar). La uso con Cubase y otros DAWs y no he tenido cortes, ruidos ni problemas de compatibilidad. Después instalé los drivers oficiales solo por precaución y para usar ASIO, pero desde el inicio ya funcionaba perfecto. La construcción es sólida (metal, nada frágil) y se siente confiable. Si buscas una interfaz estable, simple y sin dramas de drivers, es una excelente compra.

Das PreSonus Studio 24c ist genau das, was ich für meine aufnahmen brauchte. Das Setup war Plug-and-Play mit USB-C, und die Treiber sind solide ohne jegliche Ausfälle. Die Vorverstärker sind sauber und leise und erfassen Gesang und Instrumente deutlich ohne zischen. Ich mag auch die direkte Überwachungsfunktion, latenzfreie Überwachung ist ein großes Plus für die Aufnahme. Es ist kompakt, robust und passt gut auf einen kleinen Schreibtisch, was es ideal für ein Heimstudio oder ein mobiles Setup macht. Die gebündelte Software ist ein netter Bonus und bietet alles, was man braucht, um sofort mit der Aufnahme zu beginnen. Insgesamt eine professionell anfühlende Audiooberfläche, die sich perfekt für Anfänger und Profis eignet.

I am totally amazed by presonus studio 24c ..the workload it can handle and moreover in return produce such a beautiful latency free crisp and clear output. Must have for professional as well as beginners. Go for it.. Don't think much..It solves everything.

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!

Studio One 6 Artist目当てで買ったようなものですが、結果的に大満足です。 ネットで「外部ソフト音源は使えない」「追加購入しないと使えない」といった情報を見かけましたが、Ample Metal Eclipse 4、ChipSynth MD、SampleTank 4、Magical 8bit Plug 2などのソフト音源も問題なく使えました。 紛らわしい情報に惑わされましたが、実際は普通に使えて安心でした。 音質も安定していて、USB-C接続で扱いやすく、制作環境として十分すぎる構成。買って正解でした。
