PreSonus’s Quantum HD Interfaces Help You Make Hit Records

Until the longest Time, I fought with a delay when recording sound or time, which is required for a recorded sound for registration on the screen. I connect my audio interface to my computer, raise all my drums with a microphone, and it is difficult for me to make my things synchronize with everything I tried to record. The first generation of quantum audio interfaces Presonus solved my problems about ten years ago. They used Thunderbolt quick compounds than an accelerator to give me a delay with almost zero, partly due to the connection without Bloit software that it shares with the Presonus Studio One software.

The latest Pressonus Quantum HD interfaces have even raised the ease of use. You get a USB-C connection, an even cleaner design, the best screen and the front panel input instruments developed in cooperation with the Presonus Mater Company Fender. Now even automatic alignment of amplification at the entrance, which means that one person can independently configure a large studio.

If you want to get an affordable audio interface that competes with heavy attackers from Universal Audio, Apogee, Focusrite, Audient or SSL, among other things, the new Presonus Quantum HD models are fantastic and sounding. If you are a user of Studio One, they are not easy.

On the HD 2 and HD 8 model, not so much to look, designed to hide on the desktop of a serious enthusiast of a home studio among other toys. They are both black boxes with blue accents and color screens, and they look relatively indescribable when they are not used. (This is pleasant for expensive studio equipment, which sometimes can shout “steal me!”) A large installation model, smaller, designed to use desktop computer, you do not have a rack to install it.

The construction of the device is strong and metal, with good large ventilation holes on the sides in order to maintain its coolness during longer tracking sessions. I like that it just requires a standard tripartite power cable, so you do not have to deal with a wall bearded, and that it quickly connects to any modern USB-C device.

I was a long -standing Presonus user in everything, from his Faderport controllers (USB devices that allow you to use Faders to manage playing in most DAW programs) and monitoring station (suspended box where you can connect and switch between several speakers with a simple button. press). The management works well and costs less than most competitors.

Pro Tier equivalents from brands such as Universal Audio and Apogee can cost between small and many multiple, depending on the category, and in fact it does not sound better, in my experience. Quantum HD interfaces easily compete with very popular models with 8 entrance from 8 entrance from Universal Audio in terms of sound quality and assembly. Universal sound models are the gold standard in the category right now, and it costs twice as much per unit.

Studio One immediately recognizes the quantum HD 8 and plays well, allowing you to do things such as turning on the Phantom Power 48V for microphones for the capacitor and set levels inside the software, and not use any strange intermediary software between the interface and Daw.
