  • Quality sound capturing ability and sturdy
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! ... show more

  • Reliable and responsible, sounds fine
Very easy to use, recognized by all the DAWs I have on my Mac. But some of them don't see the minimal buffer size possible, in contrast with StudioOne. However, it sounds good everywhere. The only drawback is that it is impossible to turn Line mode separately for inputs 1 & 2. You can plug and record either 2 line inputs (like electric guitar, keyboard) or 2 mic inputs. So you cannot play and sing at the same time for recording/performance unless you have a separate external preamp for one of the channels. But this is not my case so far. For the ones who would like to have separate control over line/mic preamps, consider something else like more major model of PreSonus or whatever else interface. ... show more

  • The Studio 26c model works with the new Ipad 3 USB-C !
( Audio pro ) . Plug and play . I have the outputs routed to my mixer , it works straight out of the box , no driver downloads required . It's very low noise , nothing coming across the Mackie 824s . My Ipad 12.9 in. is in sync with my PC recording software . Apple threw the audio people a curve by doing away with Thunderbolt on 3 , losing the headphone jack , but this is a great solution in a sparse field of peripherals so far . Great build , very solid metal box . I own several interfaces from Roland , Tascam and in comparison , this is a steal for the $$ . The only thing I would wish for is an on/off button . ... show more

  • Awesome Interface! Outstanding sound, quality, and value!
I am a Studio owner with tons of gear and do extensive testing and recording with said gear. I own several pieces of PreSonus gear all the way to the flagship StudioLive 64S Series III. I picked up the Studio 26C as a portable interface I can grab and go along with my old 2011 MacBook Pro running Capture and StudioOne 4.5. I have run this interface thru its paces and it sounds and performs extremely well. Very stable with Universal Control and allows zero latency monitoring in Studio One. I am using the Pro version, but this interface comes with the Artist Version and some great plugins. Not sure why some reviews are giving low ratings and stating that the interface can't be used without a computer. Well, it is an INTERFACE! Know what you are buying. As far as sample rate and sound quality, this price point is awesome. Would highly recommend this product. ... show more

  • The light turns on, but computer doesn't recognize the presonus 26c
Totally unusable. This is the message from Universal Control: "The audio device Studio USB could not be initialized. Please check your hardware configuration and try again." Registered the product, downloaded all the drivers several times. Tried on 2 laptops and 1 gaming desktop.

  • Fantastic product, but….
I bought the Presonus Studio 26c to record my vinyl collection at a high bit rate. Straight forward to use and I am getting fantastic results. Would’ve given this 5 stars, but I was sent a used product. The twist ties for the cables were loose in the box and a redeemable code for free software had already been used. I didn’t buy this for any of the included software, so I kept it and am happy with my purchase. However, the seller should have disclosed that this was a used item. I double checked before submitting my review and didn’t see a disclosure in the item description or specifications. The software advertised with this unit were available when I registered the unit, so I don’t know what that redeemable software license was for…. ... show more
