    disappointment ...

    PreSonus AudioBox 1818VSLPublished on 11/21/12 at 01:12
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    It was so good on paper: VSL technology, FatChannel, 8 + 8 ADAT tracks and also DAWS. And then coupled with Studio One, it was perfect!
    The interface is directly connected to my computer core2 duo with 3GB of RAM 2GHZ

    UTILIZATION

    Must already be able to install the driver to judge whether it is stable or not. For my part, I am not able to install it correctly! And I have too much hassle for almost two weeks, visiting the site and forum presonus.com, and here I have not enjoyed the Audiobox!

    "Pops and crackling"! that's what we're talking about the forum about the presonus Audiobox 1818vsl!

    The manual is against nickel by

    OVERALL OPINION

    How long I use it? for two weeks and it does not work
    I tried several models and edirol no problem, but I wanted something beefier: what a disappointment
    Least: I already said everything
    Most: its promises, its ergonomics
    It is 500 € in the trash!
    Obviously me and the presonus units: one is finished. Against by Studio One is a wonder!

    Big Problem!!

    UTILIZATION

    This card is not compatible with the new MacBook Pro 2012 equipped with USB 3.

    GETTING STARTED

    In addition, beta drivers could solve the problem seem to be operating as Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
    So if like me, you bought your MacBook between June 2012 and the release of Mountain Lion or your other software does not run on Lion Mountain (and the list goes on), this card is useless!

    I even tried it on when a post iMac Core 2 Duo 8GB (Snow Leopard) with ProTools 10.

    This project runs smoothly even with the internal sound card / mbox 2 / mbox pro 2 with a buffer at 64 samples!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Ben after a night of misery, I contacted my dealer to try to exchange it against a firewire card (Focusrite Saffire 40 or Lexion IONIX)

    I spent much of the night on the Presonus forum only to find that the card does not guarantee reliability. Computer PC (Core i7 2600K + 8GB) fail to record 8 tracks without cracking!
    A shame, we were doing multi track recording under Windows 98 with Pentium 3!

    A casting error ...

    PS: I remain convinced that the firewire is better suited for this purpose.
