PreSonus AudioBox USB 2X2 USB Recording System  

SO. I bought this POS to do some home recording away from my actual studio. It sucks. First i had to wipe my hard drive just to get the drivers to download, NOW it doesnt make a single sound. I tried fidgeting when my control panel. and nothing works. Presonus's customer service is CRAP. every response i got from them was pre recorded and it took them FOREVER to get back to me. Even my brother (whos a tech geinus) cant get this thing to work. If you dont want to waste your time trying to get this thing to work, dont buy it. I used to love Presonus but now ill never buy a single from them ever again.

SO. I bought this POS to record at home when i was away from my actual studio. bottom line. it sucks. After i wiped my hard drive just to get the drivers to work, the damn thing doesnt even make sound. Ive tried everything, found contacting customer support (which was terrible. almost all of their responses were prerecorded or copied for wikipedia.yes. i checked) to have my brother (whos a tech geinus) look at it. no dice. if you dont want to waste your time tried to get this thing to work. dont buy it. its a sad excuse for a recording device. dont waste your money.

For the price seems like good deal.  Coming from a live sound background, I wish I had a mute button for inputs.

The Studio One included software seems to be more than adequate, but the manual is very poor.

Only had it for 2 weeks.  Seems well built but time will tell.

From survey if alternative and brief experience the PreSonus looks like a very good value.

This rating would be higher if the users manual for the software was better.

I bought this interface about a year ago to record my band and I have to say, Imimpressed. The audio is crystal clear coming from this thing and i use condeser and dynamic mics and they work perfectly. so your shure sm57 and 58 will work just fine. it's made out of some tough stuff too it wont break on you from a drop or being kicked acrossed your basement. Simply put i love this thing, i do screaming and singing vocals for my band and i use it to record guitar and drums. Presonus makes good stuff and this is certaintly a great example of that.

had all the features I was looking for plus it was in good shape for a needs repair product. I only needed one mic in put so with input two bad at a discounted price I went ahead and saved the money. Plus I thout in my spair time I may be able to fix it

Looked and worked like a new product with the exption of input two being bad .

Was a real good deal.could not beat the price.

It has all the  features that I needed. It worked great right out of he box did not have any connection problems or sound problems . I would buy this product agin our I would buy the new one.

This interface is very basic but works well for solo musicians who would like to record 2 tracks. I have not used the software that comes with it because I already own Acid Pro 7.0. The device works flawlessly with Acid, no problems with latency, peak level indicators on the box match the software.I rate this section only a 7 because I think the channel one and two gain knobs are in an awkward place, not the end of the world, it just takes some time to get used to.

After about 4 months Channel 2 stopped working. No audio input would work in channel 2. Troubleshot it with another identical unit from my work and determined it was a hardware problem with the unit. I contacted Pre-Sonus and they were very helpful and had me RMA the unit. I took about a month before my original unit was returned with a note indicating they replaced a chip on channel 2.

The price IMHO is a little too steep. You can for instance get a 6 channel interface by another company for around 50 dollars more.

I use it a lot and enjoy it. I wish in retrospect that I bought a 6 channel interface from a competitor, but oh well.
