Product Experience I own it
CLosest Store Calgary, Alberta
I bought this because it was advertised to be able to connect an iPad. Yes, it has a second USB host connection, but don't expect to deliver too much through it. It works only with the Presonus Capture Duo app, none of the synths I have tested (Moog Animoog, Model 15, Model D, and Synth On) recognized it. And Capture duo just gets the signal from the two inputs and records it, very basic. than you have to get the recording and transfer it on a computer to do the real editing work.
So what if it has MIDI in and MIDI out? It does not deliver it at any app on the iPad.
Interface with PC through USB delivers only audio, no MIDI. I wonder why those two MIDI connectors are there or even if they are connected internally, really.
The interface is powered through USB. They did not even bother to install a connection for an external power adapter and a power switch, it is always on when connected to the computer.
They include Studio One Artist in the package, that is actually a crippled version of Studio One, they cut the ability to use VST's, for that you need to buy the Profesional version, the upgrade costs you about 80% of the full software price. Audio quality is so so, less noise as my other interface but more distortion, these guys did not hear yet of High Resolution.
So why did I listened to the good reviews on this site and a lot of other sites? I do not know. For me this interface is useless, waste of money.

Product Experience I've tried it
CLosest Store Port Coquitlam, British Columbia
Yes, this seems to be the most complete and versatile interface in the market in this price range. And this is why:
- Both inputs accept mic, line and instrument connections, I.e., both inputs have Hi-Z connection for guitars or passive basses. It also has phantom power.
- The back of the unit is well designed. It offers MIDI in and out, USB 2.0 connection and a device connection, which allows this unit to connect to any computer, as well as an iPad. You can use the USB connection to power the unit and the device connection for the iPad. The Focusrite 2i2 is a good quality unit, but offers no MIDI or device connections, so you cannot use the 2i2 with an iPad.
It was worthy waiting just a few years for someone to design an improved and more complete 2 in and 2 out interface. I take my hat off to Presonus.......

For the price you get a great little box with very good preamps, no latency issues. I get excellent record quality with no clicks or pops, software load was seamless and integrated very well with the AudioBox. Go to Presonus to get the latest audio drivers. Studio One is easy to use, with a little bit of a learning curve.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
