PreSonus AudioBox 96 Studio - USB, Audio Interface, Bundle For Recording and Production, with Microphone, Headphones & Software

Going strong! It has been used pretty much every day since purchased and it's still great. No faults or issues. I just wish I would have bought it new rather than b-stock on Amazon because it came new and unused but without the software! Oh well.Used with Intel Macbook 2018 model running OSX Monterey and Studio One Pro 7.

This is an ideal purchase for the first-time content creator or for recording/Mixing your music It comes with an audio interface that is very easy to set up on your PC you get a pair of Studio headphones that are well-matched to the interface and are great for Mixing you also get a quality condenser microphone to complete the package there is also a package that also includes a pair of studio Speakers that produce an amazing sound but that item was sold out when I made my purchase but I did order them separately they cost a bit more than they would have been as part of the full bundle but are a must buy to complete this bundle you get all the software needed to start producing /recording music and a video taking you through the process of setting up the software and hardware and also a from start to finish mixing tutorial you can also use this set-up for a podcast very good buy for the price but I would get the bundle that includes the speakers if they are back in stock

I was very pleasantly surprised by the exceptional sound and build quality for the price. A definite 5 stars for that but when I tried to register the serial number with PreSonus to download the "included" software the serial number was not accepted. And to even submit a "ticket" for support I had to select which software I was using! So I picked one from the list and explained that I didn't have it once I was able to actually say what I needed help for. I did get a reply next day but instead of just accepting my serial number (I'd uploaded a photo showing it's serial number) I was asked to provide proof of purchase. That was uploaded, accepted, and they registeed it for me. But the software I was allowed to download was not what was stated when I purchased it - in particular, Ableton Live Lite which was the only software I recognised and wanted to have for it. The Presonus Studio One 6 Artist you do get is very good but not the Pro version as stated - but you can have that as a trial then pay much more for it if you want to. In summary the sound is excellent and the included software is good once you actually get to download it.

I've been using this for close to a year now and I've more than had my moneys worth. I'd never used Studio One prior to purchasing this item, but I use it almost every day now for hours and hours at a time. It's a great home studio, lots of customisation and great compatibility with VSTs etc. The actual Audiobox itself is robust, good looking and easy to use.Highly recommend.

For around a year, I'd been using Audacity for home music recording. It was very intuitive to learn and get some decent results from. The latest update though didn't seem to be backwardly compatible with my old recordings and, on the recommendation of a friend, I thought I'd check out PreSonus Studio One as a step up in home music production. Initially I got very poor results trying to configure the native Windows 11s audio and decided that I would invest in the Audiobox hardware at the currently advertised very reasonable price (Nb. the price on this page seems to vary from day to day, so make sure you order on a "good" day!).Well, let's be honest, Studio One is way more complex than Audacity and it's taken me a couple of days of tinkering and submitting two tickets to the PreSonus support guys to get myself up and running.Now that It's all working though, I have to say that I am truly impressed. There's no hum or other distortion on recording guitar, synth or vocals and no noticeable latency.The fairly steep learning curve is mitigated to a degree by a series of tutorial videos and the aforementioned support team, who replied to both my tickets within 24 hours.I'm running Studio One Professional on a 30 day trial, but the Audiobox comes with the Artist version of the app and a shedload of other software utilities, which I will spend many happy hours exploring.The build quality of the Audiobox is great - the metal case feels suitably robust and the rotary controls have a nice tactile feel to them.Oh and the Audiobox works beautifully with Audacity too, in case you find the Studio One software a bit OTT for your needs.Overall, for the modest purchase price, this is a superb product, which should meet the needs of anyone experimenting with music composition at home.Happy to recommend it as a 5 star product.

Abysmal! The supplied BtoA USB lead didn't fit properly. Using my own BtoA lead and the LATEST driver for windows 11, just distorted like crap and a ticking sound. Using a previous 283 driver it worked for the first boot. The next days boot, it went back to the mega distorted sound (even with maximum latency and lowest quality).Basically it was not compatable with my Windows 11. I replaced with a Behringer and it worked flawlessy first time, with the supplied cable.Presonus claim to be a quality brand. This is worse than any other made in China. The Fender takeover seems to have destroyed the once good Presonus brand. NEVER again! Ruined my studio session. Returned.If you're unlucky to get this unit, use your own cable and hope the driver works for you...
