The digital mixing console designed for recording music.

If you want even more signal processing options, PreSonus offers four Fat Channel plug-in collections with 15 additional models. Fat Channel plug-ins can be inserted on every input and output bus, giving you complete studio-quality processing during mixing and recording.
