Big big thanks to VisionRecordingCt over on YouTube for this great opinion piece on Studio One. We use stuff like this to warm our little hearts when we run low on Cafe Louisiana Hotter ‘n Hell Hot Sauce, which is often.

Hello PreSonus! My name is Luis “LH Dub” Henrique, a Brazilian who is passionate about music production and mixing technology. In particular, I love mixing tracks with Jamaican rhythms to create new songs. I have always needed a high-quality interface in order to create my songs, and I have finally found it in the PreSonus StudioLive 16.4.2. It has everything to fulfill my needs, and meets my high standards of quality while offering a great variety of tools. It was love at first sight! I had no previous experience with digital mixers, and I was a bit afraid that I couldn’t manage it, but as soon as my 16.4.2 arrived home I quickly realized that StudioLive is a very easy interface to work with.

Personally, I really like reverb and delay effects. So when I first experienced the effects available on the 16.4.2, I was totally amazed. The delay filter is incredible. I also have been using StudioLive to record live bands and it does a great job! The compressor, gate and all other tools are very well placed. It’s easy to handle and work with.

The StudioLive 16.4.2 is also very resistant  By accident, it has fallen from 1.5 m height and it still works perfectly… only few scratches tell the story!

Because of my wonderful experience with StudioLive, I have decided to purchase only PreSonus products in the future due to the fact that I am very pleased to work with this equipment that, besides having a great design, has the best quality you can get.

Hi guys,

Thursday May 8 • http://www.presonus.com/videos/presonuslive
2 p.m. CST / 3 p.m. EST / Noon PST / 19:00 GMT |

MIXING is MASTERING!

It is? Really?
It is for Justin! He’s experienced a little revelation of late. Thanks to the Studio One’s Project page, the once-clear line between mixing and mastering processes has started to blur. He has kindly decided to share his secrets—with YOU!

John Mlynczak, Education Market Manager for PreSonus, shows us some of the basics of running live sound AND recording a school jazz band with the AudioBox 1818VSL. He shares his channel breakdown and monitoring setup.

With the AudioBox 1818VSL, you can track the entire band, and send students their own parts for study—or whatever submix you feel is best!

Is that a StudioLive 24.4.2 I see in the background? Probably.

Check out more of these over at YouTube!

Thanks to Amahl from Champion Sound for these great shots of the winners from their season finale!
