PreSonus Studio 68c, USB-C, Audio Interface, Software Bundle Including Studio One Artist, Ableton Live Lite DAW and More for Recording, Streaming and Podcasting

I originally submitted a review of this device slating the manufacturer.However, I am going to update the review...This usb interface is actually pretty ok.Maybe It felt shy or something the first time I tested it, but I have tested it again both on an sm7b (with Cloud lifter) and an SE X1SThe Preamps- have a very clean -deep soundThe Gain is 50db on this unit, the Focusrite Scarlett range boast 56db so slightly better gain and again a different sound.The 26c report 80db which, for sm7b users, may be the better option.Can't fault this device,Apologies for the initial poor first review ;-)Update: 19th January 2019SO I upgraded to the 68C - Oh My Days!!Absolute brilliance.Beautiful set of Pre-ampsAll +65 Dbs - It's like comparing a focus and a jaguar, no comparison, these pre-amps drive my mics powerfully and no noticeable mic noise at all.The headphone amp is super powerful. and brings a real lively tone to my musicThe USB Interface works perfectly, I had issues with getting 'stereo' sound when using the 26c but the drivers for the 68c has sorted everything without complication for Windows 10 users.So I can run webinars, record videos, run FB Lives etc and have no concerns with sound at all.Using Adobe Audience is wonderful and mapping the channels is really easy.Presonus state the USB quality is 24bit @ 192KHz using USB C - I am getting 32 Bit Recording quality from this unit (it actually states 32bit @ 192Khz) - What more can I ask for???Solid 5 stars for the 68c - It takes the Presonus into a completely different leagueIt drives the Shure sm7b Dynamic mic wonderfully. It's the best sound I have achieved to date and do not need a Cloudlifter at all, as the levels are perfect for my voice.I may consider re-enforcing with another pre-amp, just to get more headroom, but I do not have to rush, it can do the job effortlessly as is.If you are considering a solid, Audio Interface to drive ANY mic, and have brilliant sound quality for a very competitive price, with USB C delivering 32Bit quality recording @ 192KHz, then look no further than the presonus 68c!

Fantastic easy to setup. I'm impressed with the audio quality.

I’m beginner and this is for me very nice piece of kit, great sound quality, seamless install on my Mac m2

I wanted a USB audio interface with at least two mic inputs and four outputs, but which didn't cost the earth. This one fit the bill. I was a bit sceptical at first, as the output had a lot of electrical noise on it (similar but perhaps a littler worse than other USB audio interfaces I previously tried). However, I traced this down to the noisy 0V on the USB outputs from the motherboard, and after using a powered hub, the Presonus interface now performs brilliantly.

I initially bought the 24c version of this. The unit is well built, well packed and a great price, the free software is great and a step about audacity.I had to return though - why? The key as to which you buy will need to really depend on your microphone. I am using the Rode NT2 and the 24c is just woefully underpowered to make that mic work. At Max gain I was only just getting the mic to clip, so the headroom to play with the settings on the unit were virtually nil. Using some software gain helped, but it’s not the solution. As my mic needs about 50hz to activate and this unit maxes out at 50 (and in some tests nearer 44) it just did not work for me. Shame, becaise for a simple cheap 2 input unit, is nice.Swapped then for a 68c. Which works perfectly. A smoother sound due to the higher spec amps and with a gain that goes to 65 much more room to play. The unit build is same but it’s larger and the signal indicators on the front seem to work better as well. I managed to get a warehouse deal, which was even better and not then a huge difference in cost for the performance. Note you have to plug in the 68, which might also account for the ability to power better and the 24 is usb powered.My main challenge with the 68 was it came stinking of cigarette smoke. Pretty sure this was the driver and not the warehouse but had to leave the packaging outside for a day to get rid of the smell.

Possibly an overkill for me... but this is an outstanding piece of kit.

I initially upgraded from a USB DAC (FiiO K3) to a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen so I can independently control my speakers from the headphones, but was getting some crackling noises while playing some PC games.I tried to diagnose the issue and troubleshoot it, but couldn't sort it out, so decided to send back the Focusrite and purchase this one instead.This interface has great value for money, it is well-built and has excellent software support from the manufacturer.

As a broadcast professional I am tired of products that are over-engineered. This is NOT over-engineered, does exactly what it's required to do and is a pleasure to install and use. I was up and running within 5 mins on a USBC with W11. No bloatwear CD or other fancy marketing toys, just an extremely well-built, great sounding device - just what my situation needs. I note other reviews do state the resolution of the meters is poor and the controls are perhaps placed too close to one another - and I can't disagree - but some of my devices costing double the Presonus have only a 3-colour 'signal present' LED and controls that suffer the same sausage-finger issues. Not just for the price, but for well-under the price of competitors, this is an absolute A* winner.

This is my 4th Presonus Audio Interface over 20 years. Not because they are going bad (just the first one), but because they sound great, are easy to work with, and just nail my needs. This thing has more holes than swiss cheese. Holes for rack mounts, holes for multiple pairs of headphones, holes for instruments, synths, and microphones all at the same time. I have two microphones plugged in ready to go, my Roland SP 404 Mk2 plugged in to send and receive audio (in and out), as well as my stereo guitar rig. I still have 4 inputs available for anything!The knobs feel smooth. The buttons feel nice and have a little give on them so you FEEL like you are pressing something. Having all the controls on the front and most of the inputs and outputs on the back is convenient. Everything that you need is always within arms reach.

Produto forte, de qualidade, funciona no meu PC e ainda permite baixar o Studio One gratuitamente. Estou feliz c a compra

I have had this product for a few months now and I’ve been able to get good recordings with it. Good clean recordings. I haven’t figured out all the ins and outs of it yet but I have enjoyed using it here in my recording studio and in my classrooms. Set up wasn’t too bad. if you are used to this type of things then it would be quite easy for you. If you are a novice there is a little bit of a learning curve but it is not difficult.Very much worth the money!

Exelente producto, venía de una vieja Tascam de dos entradas pasando por una behringer y existe una diferencia de calidad abismal,además que viene con stuido one artista 5, con varios extras de regalo es el paquete de estudio profesional más adecuado para un bajo presupuesto, tomando en cuenta relación calidad costo, datelles que no me agradan es que el cable que viene USB es muy corto y tengo duda si puedo ponerle uno más largo y de que marca me recomiendan, el aspecto físico de la interfaz es sumamente profesional,.bien construida en metal, cero latencia, trabajaba con Cubase 10 pero studio one es una chulada, el mejor daw que he probado y viene completo no es versión de prueba, por supuesto la versión más completa se debe pagar para actualizar, pero para temas de masterización, así tal cual como viene, tiene un sin fin de opciones para trabajar, cuando en Cubase necesitas hacer varios pasos para obtener un resultado en studo one solo arrastras y listo, estoy muy contento, estaba en duda si comprar está o la opción de 4 entradas pero me atrevi y es un verdadero placer, grabar mi música,. Estuve un mes escuchando unicemente la interfaz con mis monitores y ayer tome mi ampli. Vypyr peavy 100 y suena un asco jajaja, acostumbrado al sonido de estudio, me tomo un par de horas para adaptarme de nuevo al amplificador.
