What interface do you have? Is it your dream interface or are you looking to upgrade? Enter the giveaway here for the PreSonus Quantum ES2:- producelikeapro.com/blog/presonus-quantum-audio-interfaces-a-comprehensive-review/
A lot of Vintage 888/24 and 192io and 96io
@@B__Mer so sad , it is true
seriously considering pulling the trigger on a Volt 276 or if i can find one used at a decent price a 476 but also wondering if thats overkill for a pauper like me who would be just as content with a Guided By Voices, Sebadoh or Pavement production level as say Mutt Lang , Steve LilllyWhite or Visconti , i hate to spend extra money if all i really need is an M Audio Duo or an Air 192/6 , i feel so confused i'm considering changing my name to Vinnie Barbarino (yes i just aged myself with that outdated subreference)
UAD Apollo Solo,Looking to upgrade to Quantum HD 8
@@andreirlmeier I know them all very well! Vintage? Haha they still seem relevant to me and I'm not sure they will ever be vengeance.
This track sounds incredible!! Glad that you enjoyed working with the new Quantum HD 8 on this. Thanks for your honest review!
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it!
you guys nailed it everytime.....love Presonus
Do the line inputs bypass the mic pres and go straight to converters?
Please confirm if the pres can be bypassed?
@@pascalmerschaudio marvellous!
Fantastic production! Love the duet. Thanks for the multitracks
Thanks ever so much!
Warren that bass riff during the verses is amazing. Funny thing I"ve always heard it in my head pretty much this way and now you just did it, cool :)
Glad you like it! I was just following the amazing melody! The vocal leads the way
@@Producelikeapro yes, exactly. This is one of those songs where literaly 4-5 notes makes the magic (especially in the verses). I've been also fooled by the non-existing third chord there when tried to play it at the first time :)
These look beautiful. Very clean looking.
Will have to look into the specs of these more closely.
Please do! Let me know what you find out, interested to hear what people think!
Came here for the audio interface, but got lost in the song. That's what an audio interface should enable musicians to do. Nice review.
Thanks ever so much Jasper!
That was very nicely done cover Warren, thank you! :)
Glad you liked it! Many thanks!
Your version of "Time after Time" would make producer Rick Chertoff proud! Excellent review Warren... your production skills are second to none!!! Even with the heavy compression by TH-cam... I can still hear the high quality of the PreSonus ES2 & HD8 interfaces. 🎶🎹🎶🎸
That;s very kind of you! It was simple, Nick played a very straightforward acoustic guitar version, I then slowed it down, Becca sang over the acoustic and a simplified drum part that I had Luca play! Luca then sang and then I put electric and finished with the Bass part!
@@Producelikeapro George Martin: "It was simple... I let John, Paul, George, and Ringo play." I Love your humility Warren... Never change! 🎶🎹🎶🎸
@@MrMusic-nd5to thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
I downloaded the session but I haven't mixed it yet. I just come back every other day to watch this!!!!!
Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much
Presonus PLEASE bring back the Quantum 4848!!!
Yes, pretty please!
YESS!
As someone who currently owns two discontinued 4848’s - YESS, bring it back!
What's the difference between that and this unit?
Yes!!!
Amazing job by all!!❤ Great Cover!!
Thank you so much!!
Good video Warren.The voice of Luka(Drummer Bvs) is amazing.
Marvellous!
Very good sounding interface. Lots of features, clean, un-hyped preamps. I've had several Presonus interfaces which have been very useful. I get tempted to sell my expensive rig and move in this direction. I would connect it to my clock/master clock rig. Happy they provided the word clock I/O. Thanks Warren. I'm going to have a look at that Yamaha guitar as well. Almost forgot to answer your question. I'm running a UA Apollo x8P.
A drummer on backing vocals? What manner of unprecedented witchcraft is this? 🙂 Great work, Warren and ensemble 👍
Haha it happens!
Might have to check one out with the added features .... Although I do love my Quantum 2626. It's just fantastic.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
That HD8 looks really cool. Nice to see something again with 2 Adat ins! More and more rack units of that size only allow one these days.
Marvellous! Yes, indeed Chris
What a soulful rendition of this song. Sounds great.
Thanks ever so much!
Best video on the tube..he shows you how it works not just talk about what features it has 😂
Warren...you've answered this below but I wanted to be positive that the pres can be bypassed completely (converters bypassed). Is that on all pre channels of the HD8 or just two? Thanks.
Very, very good and interesting introduction to these interfaces. Unfortunately I don‘t need another audio interface (I have 5 already: an Antelope ZenQ TB, a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20, an Apogee Boom, a UAD Volt 1 and the Monitor controller Mackie BigKnob Studio+, which also offers audio interface capabilities, I wished an SPL monitor controller, like you have, but the newest model, which is a very expensive piece of gear for a hobby musician like me). Well, if I needed one it could be one of these Presonus Quantum ones, although I don‘t know if the microphone amplifiers can compete with those expense ones, like the Apollos, Antelopes etc.) Thanks for this perfect overview …
Fantastic cover! Love it.
Thanks ever so much!
Y'all sound amazing!!!!!
Thanks ever so much!
@@Producelikeapro I love that song as well!!!
@@iengineer_247 marvellous! Me too!
Finally , i see the first time a really cool video here on this Channel about PreSonus.....love this company.......very nice Interfaces.....hope they bring also a new Quantum 4848 and studiolive Mixer and somthing with a Madi Port or Avb , Ravenna, or dante
Amazing performance everybody! ❤
What an absolutely gorgeous cover! Great arrangement, angelic voice, beautiful mixing and mastering! This de-80s'd version is better than the original to my ears, except that I _do_ miss Cyndi's voice.
Thanks ever so much
I was concerned with luck of live monitoring knob..but now I see that main and headphone have separate control would it mean that I can control bleed from recorded sound vs headphones monitoring input?
I am little lost here.. how the live monitoring is dealt here without knob or push button?
I know we could use daw I monitoring but this with plugins would create latency…
Are the guitar and the combo inputs of the HD independent? I want something to run stereo guitars and at least a microphone at the same time for my class and I saw the HD2. I was thinking on getting the EVO 16 but the HD2 really caught my attention, which one do u recommend? (Having in mind I need at least 3 independent inputs) Thanks beforehand :)
Aha! I would double check on the specs, however I don't believe so?
Interesting acoustic guitar. A Tremeleuc ( French builder) which was a vague copy of a Lowden, built under license in the 80'/ 90's by Eastern guitar operations. Great video as ever.
Should have added, What a song !
@@GaryD6120 thanks! Glad you enjoyed the recording!
Just got the ES4 the perfect setup for me with its 4 mic inputs.
Thanks for sharing!
Sounds fantastic!! Is that a U87 ai on the vocals? Thanks!!
Yes! It is
I have the Quantum 2 in my studio and I have one major issue with it (and the new one), the main outputs are 1 & 2 for monitors and that throws off using hardware inserts in pro tools. Since pro tools needs to have inputs matched with outputs (input 1 and output 1 etc). The way they have it laid out you can't use it like that since everything is off by 2.
You still have channels 3-8 for inserts. Also you can still use channels 1&2 for recording into pro tools. Then inputs and outputs 3-8 can be used as inserts (example- output 3, into "compressor", output of compressor into input 3 of interface, etc)
I wonder how this compares to the Quantum 2626?, no thunderbolt but a few new features, 32 bit capability, new preamps etc.
I hope PreSonus comes out the Quantum 4848 in HD with Tascam DB25 connects like they did the first run.
Quantum 4848, please!!!
Great video as always :) Could I ask two things? What sample rate and bit depth are you recording at? At what max sample rate and bit depth do the VST plugins work at as I understand some sampled based plugins are at 96Khz?
I typically work at 48k and 24bit
@@Producelikeapro Amazing thanks!
@@scottyf7512 thanks ever so much!
Thanks! What a great song, absolutely love Cyndi Lauper. Will be fun to mix and mess about :) Hope you are doing well!
@ProduceLikeaPro1 If you were the real Warren, I would have gotten an email. Nice try scammer! Reporting you!
Thanks ever so much Mary and Sam!
Thanks alerting me Mary and Sam! You Guys Rock!
dumb question but what what is a USB aux on the back of the es2
32 bit is the next level.
😊 Thanks Warren.
Thanks very much!
Amazing 👏 my kind of music 🎶
Acoustics n Classical lyrics❤
Marvellous!
RIP missed the giveaway. How does the HD8 Compare to the Quantum 2 Thunderbolt ? On paper they look really similar to me. I'm trying to find an interface I can use with my active ribbon mic (se electronics VR2).
If this new HD line had a "4" port version and a price close to the HD2- I'd be set to go 😅
how do these mic preamps compare to the Focusrite Clarrett+ pre amps? im debating these two to buy
I haven't done a direct comparison so I can't honestly say. I don't like to have opinions on things like that unless I've actually AB'd them. The full song was recorded through them, so be sure to download them and hear for yourself. Many thanks, Warren
Nice tune
Thanks ever so much!
I really like Presonus. Big fan of their ecosystem. Im currently using the Studio 192 and it still works and sounds fantastic. I would love to try their new Quantum HD 8. The only thing i wish they would continue to make is an updated version of their DP88. They dont offer any 8 channel preamps anymore. I feel like they would sell a ton of them if they made a new DP88 with all the new HD 8 features similar to the DP88 paired with the Studio 192.
We appreciate that feedback. Thank you!
@@presonus thank you for listening 😁
@@presonus Owner of a first generation Quantum here, you can add my vote for bringing back the DP88! I'm having a hard time sourcing one (or two ideally) at a reasonable price.
Nice arrangment.
Thank you very much!
Great Scott!!! Another great piece of gear from Presonus. From the old Firestudio Project to this. Fantastic to see. Thanks very much for the review and last but not least Presonus gear will not break the bank and the quality is there. Cheers. Big thanks to the PLAP team
Thanks ever so much for your support Joey! YOU ROCK as ever!
Hmmm, I wonder how the ES 2 and 4, even the HD 2 would work as a standalone audio interface with the Akai MPC Key37 Standalone. The ES Series seems to be class compliant (w/out the use of an external power supply), however the HD 2 does look like it as well but with the need for a power supply. In addition to that, will the Control App be needed, and/ or useful in the Akai MPC Key 37 as a standalone? Meaning, would I also be able to control the perimeters of the Audio Interfaces within the MPC Key 37? I'm trying to go the routed of DAW-less music creation.
It is class compliant, we just plugged it in and off it went! As for whether it would work in that scenario that would be a question for PreSonus themselves
@@Producelikeapro Plug and play? Like, you plugged it in an MPC standalone and it worked? Yesssss!!!!
Thanks for the reply!!!!!
Been thinking about upgrading my interface to the RME Fireface UCX II… now Presonus releases these interfaces and I am on Studio one. Now I don’t know what to do, those HD8 interfaces look very interesting, especially for me as a Studio One user.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
beautiful song !!!!
Yes, masterpiece! We loved doing this!
Cheers Warren! the Presonus HD8 sounds Great. I live 87 Miles from Presonus in Baton Rouge. I use Studio One 5 and Love it. Thank You for another Great Song. Cheerio🎸🥁🎧💿
I live 15 miles from Kremlin. Lol
Thanks ever so much Jonathan for sharing!
@@greganikin7003 do they construct also interfaces in Kremlin ?
@@pascalmerschaudioit was sarcasm, darling.... meaning living 87 miles away from factory means pretty much nothing...even 1 mile away.
If I'm not mistaken I hear a Precission bass and a Moog together, this makes for a nice fat bass, but with the awesome precission mids (precission and sterling bass are the best studio basses) And for the guitar I hear that they use a phaser, the effect that sometimes is being used before or after the middle eight, very 80's and 90's, Tom lord alge did a tutorial on this, it is not a standard phaser, but I don't know that particular one it mover more, it is used very delicately in the song..And imo, I personally think the chord synthersizer in the song is a touch too loud..by the way was it a roland juno 80? I have a virtual instrument of this model and the default patch remindes me of the meat and potatoes of the synth being played...cheers
Originally done on a Juno 60.
Hi Warren, can you bypass the pres? Also can you turn on 48v on a per channel basis?
Absolutely! Go straight into the line inputs!
@@Producelikeapro thanks 🙏🏻
@@Producelikeapro doesn’t say this in the spec sheet….
Presonus is that AMAZING company that just keeps producing great gear and software that is reliable and easy to use!
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
You just need to reseat the EPROM IC's and do a hardware reset on that PCM. The display should be fixed after that.
Thanks ever so much for the tip!
My discontinued Studio 192 still looks far more superior, and its built like a tank.
I have a feeling the PUSH function on this will be the 1st thing go..
Also have question will it be possible to use it with usb C to A and additional power supply ? Since manuals said C to A would not give enough power
@@joechapman8208 hi I have found info we can use C to A but use aux to power unit with 5v 13watt
Cheers
@@wakenwaken3618 Ah, cool! Glad it works out for you
I love it
Thanks ever so much!
I got the Quantum 26x32 and it’s a killing interface. Anyone care to outline the differences with the new 8 channel one?
Interesting they decided to drop the thunderbolt connection. No more daisy chaining the new quantums!
Yes, Thunderbolt does cost quite alot to add to a unit though, so it ,might be a cost thing? I didn't ask! I should have in retrospect!
@@Producelikeapro sadly thunderbolt is vanishing everywhere, not just macs. for windows it's even harder to get these days. spend A LOT of money extra to have a current generation motherboard supporting thunderbolt cards. there are very few left
Very pricey and actually pretty hard to find thunderbolt controllers. Plus you automatically exclude 70% of the world from buying your product, so very understandable.
There should be no problem getting them synced with no latency penalty like I’ve done with the Thunderbolt units. Probably requires direct connection to the host or a thunderbolt dock to work correctly, though. But in standalone, you could use a second unit via ADAT and avoid the data connection issues.
@@chrismonaut
That's because USB-C Gen3 is literally just as fast as Thunderbolt 4, but much more universal.
It looks like they took a page from my Antelope Orion Studio. It's very similar to it.
Interesting, I also have one of those! Do you mean the look of the ES2?
@@Producelikeapro both the look and some of the features. I love my Orion.
@@Feerlyss intersting! Looking at both in front of me, they are both black and a rectangle! Haha other than that not sure there can be any proprietary design issues
This is a tough call for me...
I had pretty much convinced myself to purchase the latest MOTU 828. High quality, many ins/outs, MIDI, good latency numbers, excellent AD/DA action, bypassable pres (important), etc.
Then, Presonus finally upgrades their dated interfaces wiith this new line, particularly the HD interfaces. I use Studio One and have a Faderport8. Compatibility/integration should be excellent AND easy.
Both the MOTU and Presonus interfaces I'm interested in go for $995 American. Once again, just as I was about to get over my latest information paralyzation after comparing Audient id24/48?, Focusrite Clarett 4Pre, SSL 12 and go with the 828...the Presonus drops. My guess is, can't go wrong with either. Presonus has more pres. That's an edge. Ahhhhhhhh! What to do!
The PreSonus HD8 also has reamp outputs, 75dB of preamp gain and 121dB on 32 Bit Converters. Plus you also get 12 months of Studio One Plus as well as a perpetual license of Studio One Professional.
@@TheRickdoggie
The 32-bit converters caught my attention. I think it's the future. The SSL 12 had caught my attention because of that.
@@rjb7569 I totally agree with you.
How can one add channels to this? Cheers
You can connect 2 units via ADAT or add some ADAT external preamps
Price = Quality
So in this case would QHD2 be a 200$ quality interface with a $400 DAW bundled with it?
Get the Quantum HD 8 here:- sweetwater.sjv.io/k06X20
Get the Quantum ES2 here:- sweetwater.sjv.io/xkMPvx
Can someone tell me if a the Quantum HD2 is $500 for the actual quality of sound, or its just a $200 quality interface with a $400 daw bundled in it?
Software for me is an amazing bonus, you're paying for the hardware.
How does the HD 8’s round-trip latency compare to the Quantum 2626’s (~0.9 ms @ 192 kHz / 64 samples)? I’ll upgrade immediately if it’s the same or better!
*UPDATE:* PreSonus stated that at the above settings, RTL would be ~3 ms. Disappointing, and strange that they decided to release slower interfaces under the Quantum name when speed was the line’s primary selling point.
That really is disappointing and deceptive.
Where can I find that statement by PreSonus? I’m more interested in RTL figures at more typical sample rates like 48 kHz. If I can’t get under or near 5 ms at a 64 sample buffer at 48 kHz, that would be a dealbreaker for me.
I suspected that the latency would take a big hit when they moved to USB.
@@TheJonHolstein No mention of it's 32 bit recording capabilities in any reviews. So how is it a 32 bit audio interface?
@@thatchinaboi1 I have no idea. On the other hand 32 bit recording is just a marketing ploy. There are no microphones O have seen with over 144bB dynamic range (24 bit), and I don't think anyone has managed to do an audio path with signal to noise ratio higher than 144dB either. So the only case you might be able to make use of 32 bit, is if you set up the gain horribly wrong (typically it is the microphone that is clipping, not the limitation of 24 bit). Thunderbolt is problematic, so I get why they would want a more mainstream high end solution, but this is an extreme downgrade for the quantum line, it doesn't have daisy chaining, and I have even seen one guy manage to get two 2626 working on a windows system, despite the lack of daisy chaining in that model (and windows not supporting aggregation of sound interfaces). The stated latency number above is not exactly class leading, so I don't get the "custom low latency drivers".
Come to the dark side, Warren. Studio One.
Haha maybe one day!
It was very kind of them to send to me to try and NOT ask me to use their DAW!
Avid is working on it

If the chord progression on the chorus was F , G , Em and Am , it could've easily be an anime opening.
Very cool!
RME is simply the Best IMO. I won't be looking to any other Interfaces after witnessing robustness of RME! simply there is no other unit that has better drivers out there than RME. I know this shootout is sponsored but I don't want people to spend their hard earned money on a unit that is gonna drop driver support after 2 years...

Good review. I'm torn between the
Presonus HD 8 and the MOTU 828.
Hah thanks Bob for sharing!
Huge Studio One fan, but PreSonus interfaces are a complete crapshoot & I spent years troubleshooting their Studio 1810 series, only for it to turn out that the interface was a flawed product that should have been recalled & that every PreSonus tech support specialist knew, but kept from being returned. I'll never use their hardware again, too many better choices anyway. Best DAW in the biz tho.
Hi Leigh, can you post me to some discussion about this? Try as I might I cannot find out anything about the Studio 1810c being a flawed product. I don't know that unit either. Many thanks
@JeighNeither just following up on this. Many thanks!
I do not have an uncle named Bob.
Haha nor do I!
Nice to see the big mouth play something for us this time!😋
If you can't bypass the preamps, no one is going to want it
Why? These are as neutral as preamps get.
Kind of disappointed with some of the new features they added
The Auto Gain is disappointing? If you're a drummer and this unit is sitting next to you you'll be able to get level immediately!
no cymbals great song Cindy was fantastic this is a great job but there is no brilliance no ping in the brass and drums and percussion are very thuggie tuning possibly dont know maybe thats the way you wanted these instruments to sound ive never been pleased with PreSouns hardware i wasted a lot of money on there digital 32 board switched and went back to a Midas and 32 Lynx still use there software which i do like but no hard ware
SO thunderbolt is dead?
Not sure it’s dead. But Microsoft isn’t doing it any favors. Apparently they released an update that removed support for using a tb1/2 device with a computer that has a tb3 port. So that made the original quantum and quantum 2 interfaces incompatible with newer pc’s. So I’m sure that’s made a lot of companies leery of using thunderbolt. At least until they’re sure MS won’t suddenly do something like that again.
@@cmatte82 it's also harder and harder to get mainboards with thunderbolt support. it's dying and it really, really sucks for audio.
Some brands completely stopping thunderbolt drivers for windows making interfaces useless also don't help (hi @ Slate...)
@@chrismonaut from what I’ve seen thunderbolt 4 and usb 4 are supposed to be more integrated. But so was usb3 and tb3. So who knows. I think it still has a chance. But I’m also not going to make any bets about its longevity.
@@cmatte82 Do you have a source for that statement? I have an original Quantum and it's still working fine with my fully up-to-date Windows 11 PC.
@@rdoursenaud I’ll look it up. I found it when I was looking to buy a quantum 4848. Im on a Mac so it wasn’t an issue for me. And if you have a thunderbolt 2 computer, it’s likely fine. It’s an issue specifically with thunderbolt 3.
Hi 😊 Can someone compare the new Presonus interfaces/preamps ES and HD series with Audient ID and UAD Apollo series? Thanks 🙏 @AudientWorld @UAudio @PreSonus
I'd love to see/hear that!
