Buggy and Bad Drivers & Mix SW
PreSonus Studio 1824c Rackmount 18x20 USB Type-C Audio/MIDI Interface
Reviewed by Bradford on B&H Photo Video
I normally don't write reviews but this interface's drivers and mix software is so bad I thought I might save someone else from having to deal with it. I used it in windows 10. As of 11/21 in order to get the adat inputs to work properly and monitor through the mixer you need to change the sample rate to another rate and back to the one you're using after powering up (every time). I learned this after doing some research and apparently this has been a know bug for years. To add insult to injury the real-time mix/monitoring SW is terrible. Its divided into mixes per output pairs, which is fine/workable, but the solo is global and mutes all other busses. So, if for example, you want only mic one on Adat 3/4 you'd have to mute or turn down every other channel instead of just soloing the channel you want and all faders are up by default. Maybe there's a shortcut but I had to much to do to find it. Also there's no way to save monitor mixes. Also if the mixer is active I think you have to route the HW channels to the logical Adat channels going to the DAW rather through the mix SW then access them directly from the driver unless you bypass the mix software all together loosing no latency input monitoring which makes the solo implementation all the more worse. I'm not sure I'm describing this properly but it was arcane and annoying. Also, there's plenty of zipper noise pulling down the bus output faders. It's pure frustration. The pres and build quality are fine and it comes with some nice bundled sw that I had no use for but would come in handy if you're starting from zero. I'd stay away from this box until presonus redesigns the SW. There are decades older options with better functionality and whatever money you're saving isn't worth it. Something like: "Presonus is our day job. Designed by musicians" is proclaimed under the stock photos on the the box. It might be good for them to hire some engineers to work the bugs out. ... More
Perfect interface for a home studio, best quality in the price range
PreSonus Studio 1824C 18x18 USB-C Audio / MIDI Interface
Reviewed by Nicholas G. on Reverb
As close to industry standard gain range, conversion quality etc. as you can get for $500 or less (higher quality hardware by the numbers than even the Focusrite 18i20). Perfect interface, and easily the best sounding and looking one I've ever owned. Great monitoring controls built in right up front which is huge for a smooth workflow and eliminates the need for another box taking up space on your desk. Every knob and button is smooth and responsive. You'll notice the difference in quality immediately if you're coming from a lesser/older interface as I was. As a side note, I purchased a demo unit, and you'd never know it's not brand new. I had a hard time believing mine was ever even removed from the box. Definitely worth mentioning as you can save up to 20% that way. ... More
Beautiful build, great software additions.

I love it. It was working great for a couple weeks, but now my laptop isn't reading the audio box. I downloaded their universal control and DAW, additionally the plugin extensions--by the way are all great--but their technical support team isn't extremely helpful. This is still a good product, I think it has something to do with my computer's driver anyways, but I still wish after investing in the company and product I would receive a lot more help.

Excellent Analog-Computer Interface. More power than I know what to do with! I needed a Windows 10 interface to replace my FirePod. I made the right choice.
Excellent studio quality interface
Presonus Studio 1824c USB-C 18x18 Audio/MIDI Interface
Reviewed by Steve on Guitar Center
I replaced an older generation Focusrite with this unit as most of my setup is primarily the Presonus Eco-sphere. It has the flexibility and inputs/outputs I need for my growing studio, and to top it off, it brings in the Presonus feel into the workflow which I am very used to from their mixers and faderport series. Having everything operate under universal control is also a huge plus. It has two headphone outputs, but if it had two more, this would be king as a means of running a small band's personal headphones from a single unit. Otherwise, best investment I have made to date.

Quite satisfied with this interface!

Reviewed by Ken F on Guitar Center
I had to replace my old PreSonus FirePod 800 interfaces. So I ordered two of the Studio1824c interfaces. My requirements are that I'm able to cut 16 tracks at once. I was having difficulty aggregating them but I figured it out on my Logic program. Customer support daringly spent time with me to address the issue! I opened preferences-midi settings and created an aggregate. I especially appreciate the LED input volume indicators. This cleans up my work flow considerably! I'm very satisfied!
Be careful

Reviewed by Joe on Guitar Center
Loved the strong build of the interface and all the inputs and outputs but was disappointed with some of its capabilities. No options to use fat channel or any other studio one plug ins in universal control if you are looking for that option go with the quantum. I ended up returning because a week or so after I got it everytime I would turn it on there would be a loud hissing sound even with the main output turned all the way down. love presonus and studio one but this just did not work for me.

I have owned many Presonus interfaces and the 1824c is as solid, well designed, and high quality as any I have owned. Amazing value. 8 channels of input (2 either line or mic) out of the box - perfect for recording drums.

I bought the unit in late 2020 and have had it replaced twice. Today after upgrading my Mac OS, the unit could not connect to my computer. When I went to download the latest drivers I found there was no support for Ventura. Previous to this latest issue the unit had hum/noise. So this new unit was replaced maybe a year ago. I do a lot of home recording and this is a recurring inconvenience.
Worked great until it just died one day.

This interface worked great. It never crashed or anything. Then one day, it just died with no warning. I got the "red light of death" which a lot of users seem to get, and Presonus offers no solutions on how to fix it.
