PreSonusStudioLive 32SC Compact 32-channel/26-bus digital mixer with AVB networking and dual-core FLEX DSP Engine

So I purchased Presonus 16.4.2 in 2010. It was FireWire and performed outstandingly for 12 years. When I could no longer update my OS and FireWire was no longer supported by windows it seemed this was the logical next step in my journey. So far so good BUT the learning curve on the networking and USB updates and plugin loading has not worked for me yet. I have a service ticket started with Presonus so let’s see how it goes. I already tracked a single with the console and it sounds amazing. The new preamps have a VR little more warmth and color than the 16.4.2 does, not as digitally pristine. I like it a lot.

I am actually a frequent customer of Personus products, and I recently purchased the Personus StudioLive 64S hardware system in June 2023. I am very pleased with the performance and functionality of the hardware as a stand-alone mixing unit. It has exceeded my expectations and allowed me to create amazing sounds.However, I have encountered some issues with the software that came with the system, StudioOne 6 Artist. I found it hard to set up and test, especially when connecting it to external devices and MIDI. I also noticed that the software lacks a couple of important basic features that I need for my work, such as video import for scoring and music notation software.I have been using Cakewalk by Band lab as my main DAW before buying your system. I compared the software StudioOne 6 Artist and Cakewalk software and found that Cakewalk offers more features and ease of use out of the box. For example, Cakewalk has built-in video import functionality and a score editor that are not available in StudioOne 6 Artist. On the other hand, Cakewalk does not integrate as well with the StudioLive 64S mixer hardware as StudioOne and I have difficulty controlling operations between the deck and the Cakewalk DAW.I was disappointed to learn after some testing, that the video and notation features are available in StudioOne 6 Pro, which is a more expensive version of the software. I feel that this is unfair to customers who buy one of your top-line hardware systems and expect to get the best software at the time of purchase as well. I do not want to spend more money on upgrading the software or use two different DAWs for different tasks. But for now, I may be stuck simply switching between the two DAWs to get the total compliment of tools that I need to get the most of the 64S mixing system.I hope that you will consider this feedback and improve the software that you provide initially with your hardware system. I appreciate your attention to this matter and your commitment to customer satisfaction.

I love this mixer so far..Well built in my mind as a musician..

Buen producto

It’s worth every penny. Very easy to use.

The mixer was received in a timely manner and in great condition. Everything works as advertised but I ran into a snag trying to register the product with the company. I got the message that the item is already registered and that I would have to have the previous owner unregister the device from their account before I could proceed. I have no way of getting in contact with them to do so so I may have problems in the future when I need technical support from Presonus.

This is amazing
