PreSonus Quantum HD Review: A Seamless Recording Tool

For the longest Time, I had trouble with latency when recording the audio, or the time required for the sound saved to register on the screen. I would connect my audio interface with my computer, that all my drums have all the microphones and I find it difficult to make my things synchronize with everything I tried to record. THE first generation The quantum audio interfaces of Presonus solved my problems about ten years ago. They used Thunderbolt connections faster than USB to give me a delay close to zero, thanks in part to the connection without Bloatware that it shares with the Studio One of Presonus software.

The latest Quantum HD interfaces in Presonus have further increased the ease of use factor. You get USB-C connectivity, an even cleaner design, a better screen and front instrument inputs designed in collaboration with the parent company of Presonus Fender. There is even now the automatic leveling of gains on the entries, which means that a person can configure a large studio in itself.

If you are looking for an affordable audio interface that competes with heavy strikers from the Audio Universal, Apogee, Focusritis, Audient or SSL, among others, the new preonus quantum HD models are fantastic and sounds well. If you are a one studio user, it’s obvious.

The HD 2 and HD 8 models are not both looking at, designed to hide on the desk of a home studio enthusiast, among other toys. These are both black boxes with blue accents and color screens, and they look relatively indefinable when they are not used. (It’s good for expensive studio equipment, which can sometimes shout “steal me!”) The largest model is monstable in rack, the smallest designed for desk or mobile use, although you can easily adjust The biggest on a desk as I did if you don’t have a rack to mount it.

The construction of the unit is solid and metallic, with beautiful large vents on the sides to keep it cool during longer tracking sessions. I like it just has a standard three-teeth power cable, so you don’t have to face a wall wart and that it quickly connects to any modern USB-C device.

I was a long -standing presonus user of everything, Its FADERPORT controllers (USB devices that allow you to use faders to control reading in most DAW software) and Surveillance station (An outdoor box where you can connect and exchange between several speakers with leaning the single button). The equipment works well and costs less than most competitors.

Pro-level equivalents of brands like Universal Audio and Apogee can cost between a small and several multiple plus, depending on the category, and that does not really sound better in my experience. HD quantum interfaces easily compete Models with 8 very popular inputs from the Universal Audio in terms of audio quality and construction. Universal audio models are gold stallions in the category at the moment and cost more than twice as much per unit.

Studio One immediately recognizes the quantum HD 8 and plays well, allowing you to do things like lighting the 48 V ghost power for condenser microphones and defining levels inside the software, rather than having to use software strange intermediary between the interface and the DAW.
