This compact, convenient, and super-affordable audio interface is an ideal option for singer/songwriters and any creative artists looking for an easy way to record at home or on the road. Take advantage of the award-winning sound of a pair of top-quality PreSonus preamps to bring your vocals, guitar, and other instruments to life, all captured in up to 24-bit/96kHz professional digital audio resolution.

Studio One Artist

If you want to get in on the easy-to-use digital audio workstation you've heard on countless hits, Studio One Artist is the way to go. Getting started is a snap. From there, it's easy to find ideal tempo-matched backing tracks, capture inspiring sounds and performances on physical or virtual instruments, mix with pro effects, and even share your music online with your friends and fans. Studio One Artist keeps you inspired and in the flow — focused on your music, not the music-making process. There are many Studio One users here at Sweetwater, and once you discover the music-making power it places in your hands, you'll understand why.

Superb software package included

Your purchase includes Studio One Artist and everything you need to start recording via your computer. Plus, to take your recordings to the next level, you get the Studio Magic plug-in suite. This extensive collection of popular plug-ins includes emulations of classic studio gear from legendary manufacturers, adding hundreds of dollars in extra value. Punch up your mix bus with the Brainworx bx_opto compressor, add ambient reverb with Lexicon MPX-i Reverb, fire up transients with SPL's Attacker Plus, and much more. And since these plug-ins are available in AAX, VST, and AU formats, they're compatible with any DAW.

M7 large-diaphragm condenser mic and HD7 headphones

The PreSonus AudioBox 96 Studio includes everything you need to create great recordings. The M7 large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone provides a respectable 40Hz-18kHz frequency response and 136dB SPL, more than enough to capture your vocals, acoustic guitar, and most other general sources. Of course, it doesn't matter how great your recordings sound if you can't hear them, that's why PreSonus included HD7 studio monitoring headphones with the AudioBox 96 Studio. These headphones feature high-resolution neodymium drivers and a precision-tuned acoustic chamber for top-notch sound. These lightweight headphones also feature extended bass response, so you can make wise mixing decisions.

A really great value.

Let me start by saying that this is my first experience with DAW software, plug-ins, etc. I have messed around with digital multi-track recorders and had really great results out of those systems so I thought, for the price, hey, give it a whirl.
Setup was easy but you do have to have an internet connection to download the software. Now let me also add that, since this is new to me and like a trial run to see if I'm going to be able to get the hang of it, I just installed it on a cheap computer and well, latency is an issue but it's not the software, its my computer. I suggest you have a very good sound card as most of you already probably know(I'm an old fart, bear with me.). Recording through my ME-80 Multi Effects has been the way to go for me on recording my guitar tracks because for one, it also works as a DAW controller and for 2, it's what I know the best. The software has some awesome amp packs and effects packages, one-touch settings capability, great EQ's, Compressors, Guitar Pedal board, it's pack with a lot of great beginner stuff. As for me being a blues, country, and southern rock musician, a lot of the loop track were not of much use to me because they are geared more for club and hip hop style music and a lot of Middle eastern style loops and sounds that actually sound very cool when used in the right songs. As i get deeper into this program, I have decided that I will be upgrading to a MAC and also upgrading to the pro version of this software. Awesome over all.

Great bundle

I have never set up a home studio until now. The interface is effortless and does a beautiful job of integrating the in and out of audio with my PC. I haven't recorded much yet, but it handles that well enough so far. Microphone is light weight but acceptable. Headphones acceptable as well, but I will surely upgrade them to something more solid. This set is a tremendously good value.

Special Awesome Recording bundle

I was extremely excited about this bundle, What a treat. This will be a Christmas gift for our son in law. I am sure that his eyes will light up on Christmas morning. He was showing me the Presonus interface on their website and expressed a desire to own one some day. Then, when I checked out the Sweetwater web site and spotted the bundle, I immediately contacted my sales expert Mason and reviewed it with him. I am very pleased with both Mason and Sweetwater and yes, I will use the "Sweet Deal" cliche to describe how I felt about this bundle. It is too good to be true, what a deal! I am sure that Grant will use this for his basement recording studio. Amazing!!!!

SOLID Interface and Microphone Package

I wanted to get something that has everything needed to start recording. After talking to several friends I decided to try the AudioBox Studio Package. First of all this thing is really well built. The knobs don't wiggle, and it's got a nice hefty weight. The microphone sounds nice and warm and headphones have plenty of volume. Probably the most impressive part is the software. I have been using Garageband for years and I must say that Studio One is a huge improvement not only because of the plug ins but also there are a ton of great loops that come with it. All in all, I really can't say I wish for anything else. This works great and is a step up from my old focusrite gen1 scarlett.

PreSonus AUDIOBOS USB96

Love it! It was easy to set up and does exactly what I wanted it to. I use it for ukulele zoom sessions, I lead a ukulele group. I also use if for my online open mics that I do 2-3 times a month, and I just started using it for JazKazam-live music sessions. I am vey pleased.

Sweetwater and PreSonus go way back, and that makes a lot of sense. Like Sweetwater, PreSonus is largely staffed by active musicians, songwriters, live sound techs, and engineers, and like Sweetwater, their culture shows up in everything they do. Early on, PreSonus broke ground by offering super-affordable audio interfaces that brought quality recording to home studio engineers everywhere. In the following years, we've been with them as they introduced a powerful, artist-friendly DAW, groundbreaking digital mixers, and more - all products we at Sweetwater use ourselves. One thing that's never changed, even as PreSonus has branched out into new territory, is that they've always done everything possible to provide you with the best value, and we're proud to stand by their products.
