Presonus Studiolive 24.4.2 Review

Another awesome option that the console has is a Firewire record out.  This allows you to multi-track your live performance directly to your computer.  The preamps are the Presonus studio quality XMAX preamps that are installed in many of their recording interfaces and produce solid results.  The included Studio One Artist software is a basic multitracking program that is easy for most people to work with yet still includes solid features and plug-ins for post-production tweaking and producing.  Studio One also allows you to play the track back through each channel so that you can use the console to mix your tracks or to perform a virtual sound check.  This can be great for beginners who need to practice mixing without the pressure of a start time or a band waiting on stage.  They can play back a recording and work with EQ’s, compressors, and gates until they are perfect.  Not to mention, the console supports VNC which allows remote control of the console from a computer, iPod, iPhone, iPad or another VNC device.

This console lists for $3999 but you can find it for about $3299 which is a great deal for the price.

This is just a brief review.  There are quite a few other features that this console has and things it is capable of.  I would love to hear from anyone that has had exposure to or experience with this console.  Please feel free to contact me at jason@jasoncastellente.com.

    Where did you get to use one? I’m also a big fan; I just got one installed at my church in October. We just used it for the Christmas musical and it was a champ. Two button presses, and I recalled the scene to go right back to a regular Sunday morning!

    One thing; you cannot VNC directly to the console; you have to have a computer plugged into it with firewire, running the control software (and/or recording software) and VNC to that. That lets you use your iPhone, iPad, etc remotely. Pretty nifty!
