PreSonus Studio 24c USB-C 2x2 Audio/MIDI Interface

I haven't really dug deep into this little machine yet. But I did plug a Strat into it and I was very impressed at the clarity it has. So I'm thinking I am gonna really like this thing. I will say this. If you already have a DAW, You now have another one.

I've used it once and so far, it works great! Time will tell!

Bought this product from Guitar Center, C24 will not work with Windows 11. Bought 2 year extended warranty, been 4 months and Guitar Center will not honor replacement warranty. They have worked on it twice . Still doesn't work. Going to try to get them to replace it one more time before seeking counsel on this matter.

I bought this product hoping to correct a problem I had in Studio One with dropouts, popping, cracking, and latency. I figured, Presonus to Presonus. It has to work, right? Boy, was I wrong! I've owned a number of interfaces and this is by far the worst I've used. The problems began right out of the box. I registered the unit and setup was no problem until I chose my product from the drop down menu in Studio One. I found the product in the list and was immediately met with a message stating the unit failed to initialize. After working for about an hour, I finally discovered that changing USB ports worked. I was able to use the unit with no problem. It didn't fix my original issue, but the unit worked fine. Until the next time I tried to use it. Although the USB cable was plugged into the same port where it finally worked before, I again received the "failed to initialize" error message. I shut down Studio One, chose a different port, and went through the opening menus and drop-downs again. Nothing. Shut down again, choose a different port. After choosing multiple ports and troubleshooting to assure there was nothing wrong with my USB ports, I tried again and finally got it working. I shut down again and re-opened. Failed to initialize again. Went through the entire process and finally got it working. I tried using it a couple times after that, with the same process each time. Rinse. Repeat. And it wasn't as if changing from one port to another solved the issue immediately. I would try each USB port I have maybe 3 or 4 times, each time going through the process of shutting down Studio One, changing ports, re-opening the software, choosing it from the menu and it may or may not work. That's unacceptable. I don't want to begin every session having to resolve a troubleshooting issue beforehand. I'm also in the market for a larger interface, but you can bet it won't be Presonus. If your low-end stuff is garbage, it's hard to make the argument that moving up to a higher-end product will help. On another note, I wish to address a serious design flaw in the unit. Who thought it a great idea to put the headphone jack on the back of the unit? It's okay to put things like speaker cables, MIDI, power cables, etc, back there. They're set it and forget it, but there are times when you may want to use different types of headphones and the back of a unit can be a chore for many of us to get to. That's a serious design flaw. Sure, you can make the argument this is a lower-end device, but there are options out there that include a headphone jack on the front that is easily accessible.

I use this for guitar with a DAW and use the outputs to stereo monitors. Sounds great and easy to avoid clipping.
