Wrote the following about Presonus StudioLive AR12 USB mixer
Ik gebruik hem voor mijn drive-in show, geweldig mooie schuivendoos, de opnamefunctie gebruik ik om gast-zangers op te nemen, zeer mooi opnamegeluid, verder eenvoudige bediening en voelt degelijk aan, ruime mogelijkheden en met de bijgeleverde software is het een eitje om je laptop te koppelen. Ik heb meerdere producten van Presonus bij Bax gekocht en ben gewoon fan van het merk. Presonus blue is made for you!

Dit product is niet voor niets nu even niet leverbaar.. Ik denk dat het populair product is want het is een supermachine die precies doet wat je verwacht of wil. Aansluiten op je laptop/compu (in mijn geval laptop mac met logic x) en gewoon gaan. Ik heb de dag na aanschaf met band opnames (met drums) gemaakt zonder de handleiding te lezen. Heldere bediening, ook de monitoren bijv: gewoon niet teveel knoppen, de juiste.
Opnames klinken strak, super, geen ruis/brom, goede di voor bas en gitaar. Enthousiaste bandleden "wauw dat klink gaaf". En live is het een perfect apparaat zonder teveel fratsen, pfl-en, afstellen en gaan. Degelijke behuizing. Voor mij de ideale studio en live mixer voor mijn bandjes.
