Presonus ioStation 24c

Excellence on a budget.

For the price you can't go wrong. Had this setup up in my smaller ideas studio. Just for when I want to create stuff when I'm not at home. Works really well and is capable of most pre/post production jobs.

Great fader 100mm

excellent product heavy duty built. smooth. looking to buy the next one with 8 or 16 channels.

ioStation24c Presonus

My observations after two months of using the device ... And I want to say right away for those who plan to purchase it, do not think that it can replace your mouse. This is just a beautiful illusion. Yes, having tried the station in managing most of the functions, you will never want to return to the mouse for these functions. But all small operations with sound files are undoubtedly more convenient to do with a mouse. If the manufacturer would have guessed, put such a convenient manipulator as a trackball into the device, then for sure, the mouse can be thrown away. But this did not happen, and I realized that the mouse is no less an ingenious invention!) However, pressing the buttons on the station requires effort and habit. Management is rather slow. But there is an advantage, your hand receives a variety of stress, and you reduce the risk of getting a hand disease such as tunnel syndrome. Moreover, you still entertain yourself a little by pressing different buttons and self-study. It's a little fun! The assembly is not of the highest quality. The upper metal panel has a rather sharp and unpleasant burr on the bottom. The connectors are not very strong. The button for turning on the station, like in a cheap Chinese radio. The twists have different degrees of penetration. But the buttons on the front are pretty well done and work great. And without a doubt, the Electromechanical Volume Automation Feder is divine!

Wow, didn't expect it to be this good!

I really haven't scratched the surface of this yet but it's a really brilliant piece of kit, solidly built with great functions that are easy to get to grips with in Studio One (I've tried Logic as well, also simple). Setup is easy as pie and everything is labelled clearly.

And who doesn't love a motorised fader!!
