Chuck Norris' Audio Interface; Yes, It's That Good

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2017

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

Beyond blown away with the quality of this interface.

Response time is insane, with minimal latency between input and output with a computer inserted in between source and output. Quality is stellar, nonexistent line noise and fantastic quality of signal. Interface itself seems to be Chuck Norris-proof, knobs are responsive yet have perfect stops for helping you align levels. Input/output jacks all durable, not easily bent or broken. LEDs clearly seen from across a room, even brightly lit.

Included StudioOne software worth the cost in and of itself. I'm not going to review it in detail here, but it is more than competitive against professional DAWs available for a much higher cost. Great entry software.

works great for me. had no issues. I use it with the iMac and have the Logic Pro x software. no connection problems. came quickly and in good condition. good sound. would recommend it to anyone wanting a small studio like I have. I also bought presonous HP4 headphone amp. everything works together like I'd hoped. Logic Pro takes a little messing with. just start pushing buttons and try things. record a song and edit it. that's the best way to learn.

A little challenging to set up; but you figure it out!

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2019

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

Make sure you have the latest update in your software...and do not make the mistake of thinking your old computer will handle the processing speed necessary to manage this software. I had to buy a brand new iMac...with Mojave! Nothing else worked for me. The biggest issue I face is the latency issue...do not be mistaken...it's a challenge period and takes a work-a-round...(which is different for everyone based on youtube searches). Don't give up...you will like the impressive advantages if you don't. I am quite happy that my software can help me write my music.

Good, cheap IO box

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2011

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

I'm just going to expand on a few things already said here. I've been working with the Audiobox for several days now and have tested just about everything I have in my studio through it. I have a Dell Core-2 Quad desktop and a HP DV5-1010 laptop. I wanted a mobile setup so I got the Audiobox after returning a Focusrite Pro24--probably nothing wrong with it, but I couldn't get it to work with my laptop--but then, I can't get any firewire device to work properly with it. So what I'll have to say will be confined to how the Audiobox works with my laptop.

I can confirm the reports that the preamps don't have enough gain to handle dynamic mics-- I tested a Shure SM 57, a Beta 58 and and old Audiotechnica dynamic. You have to turn the gain all the way up on the Audiobox and get right up on the mic to get a useable signal. That leads to a problem with Channel 1 -- when the input volume is cranked up all the way, it begins to emit a high-pitched whine which will go into the recording. You can get rid of most of it by unplugging the laptop, so it's a grounding problem with the laptop--other devices have caused that noise also. But it's a nuisance, since the pathetic battery in my HP won't last for more than an hour. Oddly, Channel 2 on the Audiobox doesn't have this noise problem.

My workaround for this is that I have an Art Dual MP preamp that will add more than enough gain so I don't have to crank the Audiobox's inputs up that high. That also diminishes mobility, but it is a good backup. If I want to use just the Box without the preamp, I use Channel 1 for my guitar input--I play both acoustic and electric through mostly a Boss GT-8 processor, and the output from that sounds beautiful recorded through the Audiobox. I plug my vocal mic into the quieter Channel 2 and can put down a good-enough quick and easy recording that way.

I've also recorded a stereo acoustic guitar track with a pair of Oktava MC-012 condenser mics. They provided plenty of gain for a good signal without having to crank the input on the Audiobox up to the noisy range, producing a very good recording. I can also plug my Martin acoustic with an active piezeo pickup directly into the Audiobox and get a good signal. I've also recorded the output of my Roland electronic drums directly into the Audiobox with good results.

The Studio One Artist software that comes with the box is really well-designed and probably worth what you pay for the Audiobox alone. I'm working with the full demo version of Studio One, and it is fantastic--I will probably upgrade to the full version when the demo period runs out. It has many great features, but I'll just mention its mastering presets--they save a lot of time and you can usually find one that gets you pretty close to the punch and presence you want. There are some good reverbs as well. I have several other DAWS on different computers, and in the past I've recorded with one computer and mixed and mastered with another. I think that with the Audiobox and Studio One, I'll be able to do respectable recordings from start to finish on my laptop. I can confirm that the Audiobox also works well with Adobe Audition, both the newest version and the old Version 1.5 that I have.

One final issue--latency. I found that working with the "Normal" setting in Studio One (the middle of 5 settings) my laptop was emitting occasional clicks and pops that got into the recordings. I found that to eliminate these pops, I had to move the setting to "Relaxed Normal" which causes greater latency. That is not a problem for me because I record and overdub using just the raw signals coming in from my instruments and voice, and so I don't need to monitor the input with the software's effects. This allows me to record with zero latency. It might be a problem for others who need to hear the software's effects on the input as they record. I might add here, that the "Mix" control on the Audiobox is very convenient for getting just the right blend of recording output and input as you're overdubbing-- just crank it one way for more of the recording in your headphones, and the other way for more of the input. Studio One also makes punch-ins and editing of tracks, as well as mixdown ridiculously easy.

One other annoying thing--if I unplug the Audiobox from the computer while I have a session going, it causes the drivers to go haywire, and they have to be reinstalled. After the second time I did that, I learned my lesson.

Conclusion: this is a good cheap interface to get signal into a laptop computer. The software alone is probably worth the price of the box, and you will probably also be tempted to buy the upgrade later on. I give it about a 4-1/2 because I think the input gain could somehow be calibrated better. If you have any kind of preamp or processor around like the Art or the Boss, you won't have any problem getting enough gain. The box allows me to go mobile with my recording and the 48k, 24-bit sound is a noticeable improvement over 44.1k, 16-bit, at least to my ears.

great preamp; difficulties installing software on Windows 7

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2010

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

So basically i give 5 stars for the audiobox, and 3 for the compatibility of the software with windows 7.

The audiobox itself is an excellent device for recording. Presonus always has great amps and they've included them in the audiobox and in my mind blows out other small preamp/audio interface devices. More than adequate for any amateur artist.

I originally had my audiobox software and associated studio one artist software installed on my old laptop running windows xp and I have no problems whatsoever with it. But when i bought a new laptop with windows 7, i spent hours of frustration trying to sync the audiobox with my computer, and figure out how to install the correct drivers for studio one. The presonus website is fairly unhelpful, but after intense searching i found the latest installer for studio one in the My Account page at the presonus site and was finally able to get all my programs running correctly.

I really don't know what presonus is doing with this software compatibility issue. They have a great audio recording device here combined with the most frustrating, outdated software. So if you're a windows 7, 64 bit user just be prepared that you might have some initial problems installing the software and syncing your devices. Great product otherwise.

Well made, high quality A to D USB unit

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 2016

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

I've been on the lookout for an instrument to PC interface for some time and I finally decided to go for the Presonus AudioBox having read all the reviews. The price I paid was also very competitive but it excluded the free DAW and drivers required. Getting the drivers from the internet was no problem and in truth I had become used to working with a DAW called MixCraft so I didn't really want to learn a new DAW just because the software was "free"

So, how easy is it to use? The unit is powered over the USB Cable so it only connects to the PC via that one lead - no mains cable. You can put either a standard 1/4 inch jack or an XLR connector into either of the two inputs and you're pretty much good to go. The DAW recognised the input device and within a few minutes I had recorded a few chord sequences to test it out. Great quality sound and for me, at least, very easy to use.

Any issues? Well, if I'm honest I seem to get a lot of noise from the Mic, it's a Shure SM58 so shouldn't really be the problem, the cable I used was a RODE cable so again shouldn't have been a problem. It may just be that the interference was caused by a mains hum (a cable running close to a mains cable) so it's possible that a bit of cable management might take the problem away, notwithstanding I recorded Free Fallin' multitracking on 12 string, 6 string, bass, vocals and harmony vocals and then threw in a couple of digital string sections for good measure. All that within a few hours of buying the kit. My use of the DAW previously had been just mixing files recorded elsewhere, this time I did everything myself and I can't wait to record more.

Am I pleased I purchased this little box of tricks, absolutely, I already can't live without it. So why not five stars? Let me play a little longer and I might have to upgrade it, but I would recommend this to any budding musicians who want to put together a demo tape without spending big bucks hiring a recording studio.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 1, 2018

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

I had to return this. Maybe my unit was faulty but when I tried to record using my condenser mic there were pops and crackles. Unplugged the mic and found the VU meters were still recording a sound input which I can only attribute to internal noise from the unit. I did wonder if the ASIO driver did not have a big enough buffer size but decided to return it and get the Behringer UMC 204HD which is actually cheaper. That works perfectly with the ASIO driver set with the same defaults on the DAW.

Assume the unit was faulty but I note other people have had similar problems.

Excellent product

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 29, 2016

This is possibly the best-priced audio interface I've ever bought with respect to quality. It plugged in and was picked up straight away by Cubase and Studio One (which you'd expect, as Studio One came bundled!!). Build quality is excellent and the front combo sockets are solid and noise-free. So far, I've not noticed any latency, and I have been using it a lot with Cubase. It's small and light and drops into my rucksack for rehearsals. Spot on.

Fantastic and well done Presonus. Also big up to Amazon who delivered it 4 days earlier than quoted. Well pleased.

this Audio Interface is worth every penny and with the free software makes this a no brainer. If you are just starting out in Home recording or a seasoned singer songwriter, your recordings will be an amazing adventure, you can make demos good enough to take to a professional studio to master. i would recomend this unit to anyone wanting to start a home studio.
