I had no idea??? Oh wait… trust me I know the difference.

My understanding is that the Xmax L preamps are the low power version for running on buss power only. Both of them sound fine. The only ones I don't care for are the ones on the AudioBox 96.

@@tedbahas thank you!

I just bought an Arturia Minifuse. Its stellar and very small. I bought it because it has a loopback channel built in a really nice Preamps for a 150.00 interface.

I would have those in your mix position. If you have a lot of them I would also incorporate them into a patchbay. If it is just a couple of channels of study I wouldn't bother. I hope this helps.

That configuration should work. You need to Verify with Presonus. I no longer work for them and maybe something has changed.

No this interface does not have a loopback channel. You have to use software. I use Loopback by Rogue Amoeba. Its kinda of expensive but it works with everything and does not consume a ton of CPU horsepower.

Yes you can. The 26c has 4 outputs and the 24 only has two plus phones of course.

I doubt it, how would you plug it in to a computer at the same time?

Disgusting is not an audio term I'm familiar with LOL! Are you getting distortion? Clicking popping? All of those issues could be driver related. If all the technical things are sorted you should be getting nice sounding recordings. the preamps on the studio series are pretty good and shouldn't give you any problems.

@@tedbahas There is a delay during recording, although the settings are set to 64 samples. I don’t know how to solve this. I am deeply disappointed in this purchase. although pressonus audio interfaces have good user reviews. maybe it's just me out of luck. or Presonus still has problems with AMD processors. I've read about it somewhere.

@@alisiabagris3784 If you are using Studio One there are two places to control latency. There is the standard buffer settings in the Preferences and there is a tab marked processing. You can experiment with the settings there depending on your computer to affect your latency. With a reasonably modern computer you should be able to get that delay down in the 5-7 msec range. You can also direct monitor the inputs by pushing the “mon” button on the front panel if you cant tolerate that amount. I hope this helps.

@@tedbahas I"ll try. Thenks for help

Hmm?? Im an apple user and did a personal review... There are plenty of happy windows users out there doing reviews. Im' not one of them. sorry.

You needn’t worry I’m definitely from the past and it’s 2.0 speeds all the way!

There is a wide gain range on the Pre so you should be fine with active pickup/electronics. I’ve used it with my active guitars no issues

I skipped through the video to quickly get an assessment of the topic and every jump yielded a "Mac" blah blah blah "Mac" blah blah blah "Mac" blah blah blah "Mac" Mac" "Mac"

Not everyone uses computer to record as well.

@@mdjey2 arguably the best option.

Certainly. It comes with that cable.

You can use an open source app called OBS. It lets you use a iPad or iPhone as a stream source while using a separate audio interface. www.obsproject.com

YB Blay Total transparency I am a Presonus rep. So I will say Presonus but... There are reasons why I think it’s a better way to go. The studio series interfaces come with Studio One Artist. It is a very full featured DAW. Version 5 was just released and it now supports 3rd party DSP plugins and has an impressive set of emulated plugins built in. It is also fully upgradable to Studio One Pro. Almost every other interface comes with a lightweight version of another manufacturer’s DAW. With Presonus the company that makes the interface also makes the DAW. This makes a better user experience and gives you a single point to tech support. Also I really like the My Presonus user experience. All of the firmware and software updates are available in one place along with news and user content. There is also a new Presonus membership subscription called Presonus Sphere that gives you access to ALL of their software for 14.95 a month. So anyway that’s my 2c...

@@tedbahas Hi, so it's the new studio one 5 included with this interface? Not only studio one 4? Thx

@@cristianenriquez8828 Indeed it is! and its awesome!

CowsRus really? I clearly state in the video I am a rep. Maybe you should watch the video before trolling. I have made clear in every way possible that it’s USB 2 on a usb C cable. Please I don’t mind constructive useful criticism. Please keep it nice and not personal. Have a nice day.

Ariel Moreno Vergara you have 32 channels at mix but they can be any combination of remote channels from the stage box, playback channels from computer or local channels.

@@tedbahas hi so on the 32sc, I cannot purchase a 16r and expand my 32sc channels with more channels via AVB? For example tracking, say I've used all 32 usb channels so I want to now record vocals or more tracks on top of my 32 track mix down. I can use the stagebox?

Not quite sure. I think the second week or 3rd week in July.

BTW the AudioFuse Studio is in stock. I know its more money but it certainly is more interface. I am working on a review on it. I did a video on it for Sweetwater Gearfest Online.

@@tedbahas I know, oddly the arturia 8pre is cheaper, I would consider it (studio) if the price were the same as the 8pre, otherwise probably going to wait for the fuse

Mike Sloan Its all about what you need. One cool thing about the 8 pre is you can use it as a stand alone expander for any ADAT I/O equipped interface including the AudioFuse MKII

Isolation is really high. Comfort is decent. Sound is very flat! So yeah, has enough of all three.

Mario Slik Ent un fortunately no. Only the series III mixers work together. The 1602USB was based on series one mixers.

Ted Bahas awww well i guess ima have to get rid of the 16R

Mario Slik Ent bummer.. sorry

Johnny Brit I’m not sure I agree with that. High channel counts, extensive interfacing, network audio, Stageboxes, gain sharing pres, dedicated monitor mixing stations, remote mixing apps....do these sound like home studio features to you? To me the Series III ecosystem is the most professional product they have ever brought to market. Is it perfect?? No.. but it is a giant step forward for them.

@@tedbahas Thank you for your response. I want to make it clear that I like it and also that I use presonus devices. But you just extolled the features and capabilities of the new model. Against facts there are no arguments. Serie 3 does not have dedicated inserts for channels and does not have exclusive auxiliary returns for external racks and therefore Serie 3 makes life difficult for people like me who work "out of the box". Please see my Channel and my small home Studio. For this reason I see that the public focus has changed. It is no longer for serious aplications. Now it is very attractive for stage and children's room. Success for you

Johnny Brit yes no inserts are a compromise. That being said I will trade having stage boxes and flex routing for a lack of inserts especially for an out of box workflow. I can create custom I/O routes to my gear without having to repatch or compromise by having to unbalance my pro gear in order to go with a unbalanced Insert cable. The flex routing allows you move the patch from channel to channel or even use a matrix mix. These features are especially useful for people using an out of box workflow. For me it has helped to eliminate the need for a patchbay for my vintage gear. Anyway, to each his own. Have a great day!

Just the USBc cable. I use a dock with mine so I can keep charging it.

Zavier Cadorin yeah if 2 outputs are enough. I like having the additional outputs of the 26. That being said I haven’t used them yet.

The specs are a bit better on the 26c. Would you hear the difference in real world use? Probably not. I did just pick up the 26c because I got a good deal.

I got the grey, non-C version and it sounds good!

No. 26c blows it away with all specs.

You were predestined to be different(Romans 8:29), he who has an ear to hear, let him hear(Mark 4:9). HALLELUYAH!(PRAISE YE YAH!)

Harry Flashman I really like the software that comes with it. Emmulated plugs.. a Studio One Artist and Abelton lite. At this price point most of these interfaces are similarly specd. These work totally the same on Mac or Pc.

yes

It is not supposed to be removable as far as I can tell. It does look like it should be.

I looked into this yesterday. There are two versions of the HD-300. There is the HD-300 Pro and the HD-300 Protect. The HD-300 protect has a switchable limiter circuit. I think it is around 50.00 more the than the HD-300. So yes the panel is removable on the regular HD-300 but there is nothing underneath it..

@@tedbahas Thanks. I spoke to Sennheiser tech support and they basically said the two phones use the same ear up casings. So the HD-300 will have the on off markings on the ear cup even though there is no switch inside.

Paul bucknall it works fine with iPad Pro USB C. I would use a powered hub for phantom power just to preserve bat life. I am not a Focusrite user or Steinberg so I don’t have direct experience with those options. Hope this helps.
