Best Presonus StudioLive Series III 32R Alternatives

Despite my first delivery being faulty, lots of pretty lights but no audio, I have no problem giving this desk five stars. I expected a steeper learning curve going from an analogue desk to digital, but was up and running in no time. Now to dive into the guts of what this desk will do of course mean some manual reading, but basic in and out to the DAW (Logic Pro X in my case) was quick and painless. The sound is flawless to my ears, stuff I had already recorded sounded fuller and with more depth and resolution. The touch screen works well, very responsive and the graphical readouts are useful. I have now been using the QU16 for some weeks, I did at the start have some problems with glitching, but after changing from having the QU plugged in to a USB Hub to directly into the computer that...

I haven't had chance to use every function, but so far this has far exceeded my expectations. We have just moved from Analogue to the QU24 & wish that I had done so sooner. no more effects racks & graphics to lug around. only downside is the small screen. But if you want bigger, then there's the GLD80, but so is the price! I probably could have got away with the QU16, but the QU24 has many more functions, not just 8 more channels. I haven't purchased the stagebox as yet, I'm sure it makes for a much quicker set-up, but I'll make do with my old multicore until I have some spare cash. but Its well worth getting the flightcase, to protect this little beauty . And one of the nicest bonuses has to be the ability to record multi tracks. All in all, a brilliantly functional bit of kit!

I bought the mixer to be used with my live performance midi controlled synths and as a mixer for my in ear monitoring system. Very easy to operate, intuitive. In handling I gave 4 stars out of 5 because the fakers don't move in real time, there is a delay between the command and actual moving - not annoying, but noticeable - and the touch screen could have been more sensitive. Also I gave 4 stars to the sound because of the preamps - I wished to buy a more expensive one to have better preamps, but 5 times more expensive is not really justified in this moment. Overall I'm happy with it and it's features!

I'we been using it for approx 1 year now. In all, an amazing desk with a lot of good stuff. The sound is great, and the console is easy to use. The only thing i miss, is in the standard EQ, and that is an high cut filter - of course you can use one of the "plugin" emulations EQ's and cut the high end, but it would be nice on the standard EQ. DAW mode with Studio One 5 is flawless i love it. We use this mixing desk with the Presonus NSB 16/8 stagebox, and now we also use it with the Studio Live Series iii 24R rack mixer - love our setup. I will surly recommend this mixing console!

Like other reviews say, leave all your previous hangups about Behringer at the door, they have really changed their game with the X32 line of products. The build quality is excellent: the dials, sliders and buttons seem very hard wearing. Once you get the whole feel about the flexible mix bus workflow this desk uses (and a lot of higher-end digital consoles use), it is an absolute joy to use. The preamps are absolutely worlds apart from Behringer's previous offerings, big and bold sounding without going dull. They have a tendency to start to sound a little thin if you need to crank the gain, but I've been assured this is a typical quirk of Midas designed preamps. Digital scribble-strips at this price point is just plain unheard of! Bought this with two S16 digital snake modules,...

We recently upgraded to the X32 producer from our old peavey desk, this was a huge upgrade for us so we looked at a number of desks, the reason we chose this desk was because for the price, it was the best on the market. We went for this desk rather than the X32 compact because, although the X32 compact has stribble scrips,it doesn?t fit into a standard size rack housing which we needed. The preamps in this desk are phenomenal, loads of headroom, and everything is crystal clear through the front of house. Having 32 fully programmable channels is brilliant, having the ability to use one vocal channel for front of house with reverb on it, and being able to use another vocal channel for monitors with no reverb is fantastic. We also set it up so that there is a main guitar channel in the...

This mixer is great, undoubtedly the best at its price point by a large margin. For similar flexibility you'll have to look at A&H's SQ7 or Yamaha's QL5, but you'll find many features within the wing that neither the SQ or QL have are in the Wing, with many more on the way. It's new approach to routing can be a little confusing at first, but this is in order to maximise flexibility and is actually very intuitive after a short familiarisation period. There are a few features within the firmware that are as yet unreleased while the developers are finalising the functionality. Some see this as a disadvantage, but I am finding that the features currently enabled in the firmware already put it above the X/M32, and music group are listening to current users in the development of future...

Behringer have always come in for some real stick in the UK, most of which seemed to me as a long term Behringer user to be pretty unfair. If you have a limited budget, then this mixer provides a real benefit to your production quality and general usefulness. I'm writing this as a satisfied long term user, having bought the mixer just after it came out. Before saying all the nice bits - mine actually failed after just a few days. I rarely get too cross about these things, they can always happen - but what then happened really opened my eyes. I made a grumble on an internet forum. Two hours later I had an email from Behringer in America and a phone call from them in the UK. Next day a lorry arrived and collected it, next day it was back. The power supply had died - one of those things,...

Bought this to be mainly to use as an audio interface for recording drums at a home studio. Set up was easy enough. Register online with mypresonus. Download/install the digital mixer software Universal Control. Install drivers/firmware and you're pretty much good to go. I have to say there is a stupid bug in the Universal Control application with the resolution which made it difficult to toggle between channels on the mixer or see that there was a digital return channel on it(for sending audio from the pc through the interface). I was in contact with presonus support as a result. They were very helpful and quick response. Was a stupid issue as I was using a laptop which the resolution was 1366 x 768. I had to disable the locked taskbar at the bottom of the screen on Windows 10 and then...
