I recently purchased this PreSonus product for my husband’s production business, and it has exceeded all expectations. The sound quality is clean and clear. The size is ideal—compact enough to fit seamlessly into a busy studio setup without sacrificing any functionality. Along with that is the ability to operate the equipment so easily. And it’s so easy to find where cords go such as the usb connectivity. The build quality is excellent, delivering reliable performance even during our most demanding sessions.What truly impressed us is the price. For the level of performance and durability offered, it’s an unbeatable value. This product not only meets professional standards but also makes a smart investment for anyone serious about production. Highly recommended for professionals and enthusiasts alike!

As a professional record producer I needed a simple system that I can chuck in the car if I ever get asked to record someone (it happens quite often) - I have other desks for home use, all of which are usually over the top for simple recordings (SSL Big Six, KorgML-1608, Soundcraft fx16ii) but for simple see if connecting to a laptop and hitting record this is fantastic. Admittedly it’s not for complete amateurs because gating and compression is an art, but this does the trick well. EQ also simple but you will have to familiarise yourself with the way it works.Even in 2024, 5 star product, under a grand, does what it’s needed to do. If you’re not looking at buying a new laptop from Apple every year, save money and just build your system so it doesn’t need upgrading and chuck it in the corner ready to rock. Love 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.

It is not exactly easy to review a sound console. After careful consideration and lots of market research we chose this console to cover the sound needs of 2 small to medium sized temples. It all fell in pretty well and the sound is awesome. We only use it at 30-40% of its capacity. Tonality is astounding, sound output is robust and heart warming and we are pretty happy with it.

La mesa StudioLive 16.0.2 USB es la MEJOR mesa que hay en el mercado. Es COMPLETISIMA:Hace de interface de audio ASIO de alta calidad con 18 entradas y 16 salidasLa calidad de los botones, faders, etc... es TOP. Durará toda la vida. Llevo 2 años con ella.Es fácil de usar y luego puedes complicarte más como usarla desde el PC, utilizar los efectos o compresores.Lo mejor de todo: TIENES VUMETROS de luces LED de verdad, donde vas a poder ver el nuvel de entrada de las señales, algo que ninguna otra mesa tiene en el mercado en estos momentos.A pesar de que Presonus ha sacado mesas nuevas más potentes, esta la siguen fabricando y vendiendo porque las nuevas no tienen los vumetros LED grandes, imprescindibles si trabajas como profesional el audio broadcast, radios, TV o haces música en directo y necesitas comprobar los niveles en todo momento.Compra 10 de 10 y a un precio bestial.NO HAY OTRA MESA IGUAL amigos y llevo 25 años en esto.

The mixer is usable straight out of the box but I returned it for two reasons, one: The USB driver is not ready for Windows 10 and two: PreSonus tech support is not responsive or understanding. I needed this board to provide a stereo mixdown via USB for streaming. What I discovered is that the USB driver is geared entirely to 24 channel use and if you attempt to receive a "stereo/mono" mix, you only get the program audio from channel 1 & 2 as left and right. To get a true mix down I was forced to physically connect the main output into channel 1 & 2 inputs to "trick" the USB into giving me a stereo mix for streaming use. I lost two of the 24 channels effectively. When I approached PreSonus tech support about the problem with the driver and software, providing screenshots of the missing buttons in their software UI, they regurgitated what was in the user guide and asked for a massive quantity of log data from my pc. I use my mixer weekly and so could not wait for PreSonus to analyze my system when it's their software/driver that was my problem.So in summary, the board, while it does not have motorized faders, is a good digital board. I really liked their "fat channel" implementation and would say the mixer has a pretty easy learning curve. This board is well suited for multi-track recording or Pro/live sound (with no digital stereo recording). If PreSonus fixes their software/driver ability to mix-down to stereo USB, then it will be an all-around winner.

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.

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.
