Pressonus Quantum HD review: a perfect recording tool

For longer Time, I had problems with latency when recording audio, or the time it takes for the sound recorded to register on the screen. I would connect my audio interface to my computer, I would get all my drums in the microphone and I have a hard time getting my things to synchronize with what I was trying to record. He First generation From the quantum audio interfaces of Presonus they solved my problems approximately a decade ago. They used ray connections faster than the USB to give me a delay close to zero, thanks in part to the connection without blocking that it shares with the Pressonus Studio One software.

The last quantum interfaces of HD of Presonus have further raised the ease factor of use. It obtains USB-C connectivity, an even cleaner design, a better screen and front panel instruments designed in collaboration with the Pressonus Fender’s parent company. Even now there is an automatic leveling of earnings in tickets, which means that a person can configure a great study by himself.

If you are looking for an affordable audio interface that competes with the heavy batters of Universal Audio, Apagee, Focusrite, Audient or SSL, among others, the new Pressonus Quantum HD models are fantastic and sound great. If you are a Studio One user, they are obvious.

HD 2 and HD 8 models do not have much to do, designed to hide on the desktop of an enthusiast of home studies, among other toys. Both are black boxes with blue accents and color screens, and they look relatively indescribable when they are not in use. (That is good for an expensive study team, which can sometimes shout “steal me!”) The biggest model is mounted on the shelf, the smallest designed for desk or mobile use, although it can easily configure the most Great on a desk like me I did if I did if I did if I did if I did if I did if you don’t have a shelf to ride it.

The construction of the unit is solid and metallic, with pleasant large vents on the sides to keep it fresh during the longest monitoring sessions. I like that I only take a standard three-pointed feed cable, so you do not have to deal with a wall wart, and that it connects quickly to any modern USB-C device.

I have been a presonus user for a long time of Your Faderport drivers (USB devices that allow you to use faders to control reproduction in most DAW software) and Monitor station (An external picture where you can plug and exchange between several speakers with simple buttons pressures). The team works well and costs less than most competitors.

Professional level equivalents such as Universal Audio and Apagee can cost between a little more and many multiples, depending on the category, and does not really sound better in my experience. Quantum HD interfaces easily compete with Models of 8 very popular entries from Universal Audio In terms of audio and construction quality. Universal audio models are the gold standard in the category at this time, and cost more than double per unit.

Studio One immediately recognizes the Quantum HD 8 and plays well, which allows him The Daw.
