Solo artists dream

This little piece of hardware is perfect for a solo artist. The two phantom powered xlr inputs are great for doing vocals or for micing an amp or whatever else. The extra two RCA inputs on the back of the box are great when you need to get a few more mics hooked up to it. I would suggest for bands to pick up two of these and you'll be set as far as recording goes. The software packaged with it is awesome also. This is a great buy.

Excellent starting interface

I bought this device along with some microphones so I could begin to record my acoustic guitar. It works great! I love the fact that all the knobs and buttons are digital on the screen and very easy to use. It also works great for plugging a guitar or bass or keyboard directly into it... there is no signal loss at all. Another thing that I really like about it is that it is able to expand, and you can attatch more of these together. This will come in handy if I ever want more inputs and dont want to buy an expensive interface, I can just buy another one of these. Great product, well worth the money!

Great for home studios

The Inspire is great for anyone starting a computer based home studio. The Inspire interface is easy to use and it can also supply phantom power to your condenser microphones. Another great feature is that you can link a few of these things together, making it easy to mic an entire band at the same time. The software it comes with is a great compliment to the product. The direct line in works great, I use it for all of my bass recording. If your looking for an inexpensive way to start a computer based recording setup, start with an inspire, you won't be dissapointed.

Quality Audio Interface

The Presonus Inspire system is well built, easy to use and great sounding firewire audio interface. The software interface works well, the limiter works well on stereo room recordings, and sound nice on direct bass. I have run it off bus power with no problems, although the wall wart is handy as a backup. The only drawback is true of every USB / Firewire interface I have tried. You can't move the cable while recording with noise. The noise doesn't seem to record, but it can be distracting. I advise you set up in a stable area and don't move the unit while recording. Very portable, very musical. Good software.

Love this!

This is a real flexible interface. I use Logic Studio and Main Stage. I use this interface to input output bass and keyboard that run thru logic studio and output to an amp - via RCA output to an amp. No major issues to report. Although for some reason, there appears to be some conflicts in OSX which sometimes disable the interface when I am using external Lacie HD - I think that this is an OSX issue and not a presonus issue. I would definitely buy another one.
