This is garbage.

Their drivers are some of the most stable on the market. The Universal Control software is sleek, especially once you start getting up into their mixers. Their Studiolive series interface/mixers are really difficult to beat for features and stability. And the Firestudio line is NOT the same as the older interfaces. Most of the slagging that Presonus gets is from when they were a new company. Their gear has improved (like any companies offerings) over time, and they have really begun to show that they can perform on the same level, and in most cases at a more reasonable price, than their competitors. I'll wager that very few, if ANYone in this thread has actually tried their newest line...the Audiobox series which uses the same preamps and converters as their mixers.

In short, don't post about a product you haven't used. It's basically a lie.
