PreSonus StudioLive Classic 16.0.2 USB Digital Console Mixer with Studio One Pro Software

I have nothing but good things to say about this board and the Studio One software that comes with it. It was super easy to set up there are a ton of YouTube videos that explain how to set up your individual channels for inputs like voice mics, drums, guitar, keyboards etc. And the recording software (DAW) is really easy to use and powerful. I did the upgrade to the full professional version of the software because they ran a special the 50% off and it allows me to install it on up to five devices. The quality of playback of the original live music coming into the board through the software is 100% accurate. Once you have your levels set for the inputs on the devices the recording from playback sounds just like it's being played live. It's also easy to mix down and export songs from Studio One, if you're not familiar with using a DAW, this is an easy one to learn. I've talked to so many other musicians that are using the same set up and love that I can share songs easily.

A lot to learn when switching from an analog board to a digital one.

It's more than what we expected.

It’s way too complicated for what I need, I bought it because I needed more inputs and outputs than the presents studio arc 12 that I currently use. But I couldn’t use 95% of the features for its first show because you have to download the 95 page manual to learn how to use it. I returned it because it would take too long to learn it.

I have a PC, Window 10 used for recording. Because my recording program is Presonus, I went for the same brand for interface. I went for the StudioLive 16.0.2. Very nice mixing table/audio interface, but I couldn't get it to work. I got it specifically for the Midi connections... who got a very spotty signal. I spent my whole weekend trying to cope this thing into gear to no avail. I did manage to get some sound, but it was glitchy at best. Gave it up. I switched to Focusrite 18i20 and got it less than a half hour ago. I plugged the computer cable they put in the box, I plugged the power cable, I plugged the two main channel in the output. I went to the Focusrite website, downloaded without signing in or signing up the Essential drivers. Restarted the computer. Huzzah! Everything works! I just need to get the Midi to get through, but, let me tell you, I am so happy, I didn't wait two years to write a review (I usually write my reviews after thoroughly testing any product). As for the sound: same as make no difference as the Presonus. It play cleans, it records clean, that's all that matters.

Promptly delivered and great price! This mixer has all the bells and whistles I need for recording and mixing, and, works seamlessly with my Studio One DAW software. Learning curve for the mixer is shorter than I envisioned, so I was able to be productive fast.

Pre amps are great and the tech support is better. Easy to use perfect for home, small church, or club.

There is nothing out the like this. Using for recording too. Superb!!!
