PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2 Review

Hi Guys,
For all my music lovers and subscribers out there looking for or deciding between a analogue USB Mixer or a FireWire digital analogue mixer.
Now I pretty much just had enough of the limitation of the Behringer Xyenx mixer which I loved but it really limited me when it came down to when I wanted to do multitrack recording that included my guitar, sythn hardwares, mic and more.
Saved up and pick up this mixing board and since than I have no such regrets and wonder why I didn't get this in the first place. Truly a multifunction mixing board that is not only portable in size but very powerful for a very unbelievable value that is so cheap for what your getting.
This is only the first of no doubt many other series of this mixer to come. I have to still cover the wireless recording capabilities and various software that is included and more.
Hope you enjoy and hit that like button, HUGE THANK YOU TO MY MUSIC SUBSCRIBER.

Very detailed review. I've got a 16.0.2 with the Studio One v5 running through a pad and so far it's doing an excellent job

[@sosmooth7]

This is a very good demo and review. If someone wanted to learn how to use this mixer this would be really be great! This is what a demo of how to operate this mixer should be. Good work!!! It was great that you actually demonstrated how to use the various functions on this mixer.

[@EliasGadgets]

Phil Spigner Thank you.

[@sebastiennesp1978]

Hi, I've just purchased one of these, thanks to your EXCELLENT review!

[@n2pdq]

Just a comment. The zero with the slash thru it, next to the 48v, is the phase button for each channel.

[@EliasGadgets]

n2pdq yes that is correct, for each and every channel.

[@LiveeviL6969]

Isn't that the phase button next to the 48V phantom power? He called it low cut.

[@tutengenezemuziki]

Added to my Purchase list!....

[@thepanties8697]

VERY GOOD! Best I've seen so far.

[@psbsynthmusic]

Absolutely awesome review ! Great work, Elias ! Your review made me seriously think about getting this mixer for my studio. Thanks for sharing your thoughts !

[@treffensaintjohnllc2913]

I noticed when you had selected both channels 1 & 2 the display indicated only channel 1 was selected.

[@Tresidential]

Got mine yesterday...thanks for the instructions!

[@musicmugger666]

Excellent review. Thank you. I wish others would watch this before doing their reviews.

[@FazzyBear3926]

Can’t wait to try it out with Ableton

[@techsinthecity4459]

Thanks Bro was awesome

[@samuelmateo458]

Hello, the video is excellent! The software is no longer available on the Presonus page. Could you attach a copy of the software?

[@13thAMG]

Dude that button next to 48v Phantom Power is not a "low cut" button. It's a phase switching feature.

[@JaeBAngel]

How do I, along with one set of monitors, use another set and use a subwoofer with this board?

[@MFRStudios999]

Run it from one of the 4 aux channels

[@joshellis4966]

probably a dumb question but are you able to record all microphones on multiple channels in the DAW at once?

[@americareal3]

yes

[@doelaevans4421]

I have a question for the effects on each channel can those same effect on those channels be used all across the board

[@EdsCollegeLife]

Could you please make a tutorial on connecting it to an audio interface and using it with Ableton live

[@TheRealHucasys]

Great review. What's your opinion on the Studiolive AR12 or 16?

[@Noahkarfo]

You are the best "Man!!!

[@charlesamoakoboateng8158]

how do I get all the 16 channels , as in 13 separately from 14 and the rest

[@vishalr.d.8013]

This is so helpful.. thank you for sharing

[@shplog2]

Great video! Thanks for making this. Can you use this in conjunction with (say) Logic Pro X AND have automation? Faders automate?

[@EliasGadgets]

Ryanem - faders are not automation and neither or most things but yes you can use with in conjunction with logic pro and pro x but using the software studio live that comes with the mixer.. they even have vid on their site on how to use logic with it.

[@shplog2]

Thanks Gary!

[@only_the_best_stuff5706]

Hey Elias, Are you still happy with your purchase? In the Netherlands the sell it for 720€ I'm looking to hook up my synths and elektron Digitakt and start a home-studio. This mixer looks future proof :) The tap button is nice for applying the effects on my live-jam.

[@denisalexisflorentino7060]

Thanks Again. God bless you.

[@TheGospelGuitarist]

Great review, betting ready to buy one and this was very helpful. Thanks. :)

[@antonejkempjr1424]

This was so helpful!! Thank you

[@christo123]

Excellent,thank you

[@kprem9187]

CAN YOU EXPLAIN ECHO SETTINGS

[@brucebumstead1895]

Very well done. Keep up the good work!

[@AeonHorus]

FireWire? Im confused.. On their website it says USB.... There is no firewire no more right?

[@massimomarazzo9180]

So i could use only 2 effect together in the session???

[@antoniozuozo4121]

Hiya, great review. Thanks a lot. Can It be connected to a Macbook through USB-C port?

[@triggzonfiire1391]

Thank you got this video 🙏

[@digibeatle]

Ellias, I have been watching all of the videos on the Studiolive 16.0.2 and I keep coming back to look at yours because it is the most helpful to a newbie to digital mixers. Are you still planning to do any more videos on this unit? I bought a DVD that was helpful but only covered the 16.4.2 and gets bit confusing because to the controls being somewhat different. Thank you so much for all your help!

[@EliasGadgets]

Hi Carl, thank you. I've not really thought about it but I still have the unit and use it a lot for composing. What would you like to see? or have me cover with the mixer, I can put some things together and see what I can do to help, let me know.

[@digibeatle]

Ellias, As I am still so new to this I will probably ask you more as questions arise if thats OK. Thanks Carl

[@EliasGadgets]

carl d. Thats cool, not a problem, let me know.

[@MrDramaticc]

Great video can u tell me to get feedback threw the headphones while recording I can't here myself in head phones

[@tomallonsmusicalcreation1111]

Hello and thanks for the video . My question is regard latency in monitoring through the daw . How low buffer can you go when monitoring from daw ?

Being already 2022 do you think it is better to use this mixer than the ZOOM LiveTrak L-12?

[@quainlynch7845]

I'm having a problem with my mixer. I would turn it on and it would give out sound. But when I turn it off and on again it wouldn't give out any sound. What might be the problem?

[@reneandrensennirod]

Very, VERY GOOD review!

[@KarolBlonski]

Can I record directly to Studio One 4? can it work as an interface? or only through capture?

[@nitinraj6839]

gracias!!!!

[@sammycostea2258]

Hello can you tell me how to mix the firewire volume separately from the main mix (speakers) PLEASEEE I've been trying this for weeks!

[@angelonoble7589]

Nice demo

[@jonithenjackson5521]

How you connect your mixer to grageband???? pls help me .

[@denisalexisflorentino7060]

Thanks Again for your Help. ..I'm running Presonus in a home studio, Is it better to Hear my audio thru the Monitor or the Main. ?

[@EliasGadgets]

+Denis Alexis Florentino - Main as it will be your final mix but its really up to you in the end.

[@MikeSong123]

great video! Can you answer this one question for me. How do you see what fat channel setting you selected after you select it? When I Select a track...nothing seems to say that it is the Mail Vocal 1 Fat Channel setting. It always says what effects I used like Small Club...but never Acoustic Guitar? How do I keep track of that?

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

You must select the channel first and then all fat channel settings will be shown.

[@Aa-ron25]

hi this mixer looks awsome. i have one question for you. can i connect an external effects processor to the presonus studiolive 16.0.2? and what connection will i be using. thanks in advance. hope to hear from you soon. thanks.

[@EliasGadgets]

Yes you can do this and its pretty simple. 1.Connect the input of your external effect to Aux 1 output at the back. 2.Make sure that knob in the Aux 1 (Output) section is set to unity, the u on the knob. 3.You would then go ahead and press the Aux Input A button and from there you would go to the fat channel, assign Aux Input A to the main outputs. The meter should show your effects coming through.

[@jnparesa]

Very well done!

[@charlesc6443]

Can you apply the 31 band eq to the auxillary outs? Can you select between pre-fader and post-fader aux outs?

[@denisalexisflorentino7060]

awesome thanks a lot. .Question. what's the difference between Monitor ,main out and aux?

[@EliasGadgets]

+Denis Alexis Florentino - thank you.. difference is.. monitor is, your monitoring the sound as in your headphones..like your a dj listening to your mix, main out would be your two channel primary output of your final mix and aux is multiple output/input channel to route your sound or connect multiple gears or fx.

[@naujitmoreno1223]

I know this video old lol you probably will not check, but I have this board also I was wondering how to I use my maschine mk3 with this board to be able to use the sample feature everything work with the maschine all except that feature?

[@EliahHoliday]

I herd the reverb doesn't have a high or low pass control is this true?

[@user-mh6hh4wz3c]

Is he knowing,which Sound 'he' s ging for?

[@StudioDesk]

Very good job dude!

[@ismetpasalic5789]

[@jimsim3]

[@edwaralexisalfaroaguirres8322]

[@trevormcmanis]

[@dennissylvester2149]

Usimple when. U get it wil l keep on truing

[@GiannhsDaskalakhsLASER]

$$$ great video ~! Hi from Greece .... Crete ! $$$

[@mehdiqurbanli]

Is 24bit / 48khz ok for recording studio quality?

[@surefmeurope5766]

I have a 16.0.2 and yes you can do 48khz and it's better res than 44.1 imho if you're in 24 bit. The presonus Mixer setup - is good, but mine keeps popping and glitching my CPU

[@seand6576]

what does SIP (hold) do?

[@EliasGadgets]

its like a cue button

[@artblaster8345]

hello I bought recently the 16.0.2 you know if I can control with this mixer ableton live ? I do not know how!

[@EliasGadgets]

No sure to be honest but I will give it a try once and let you know.

[@JuvilleBeats]

Art Blaster no, because it's not a midi device.

[@ArtBlaster74]

Art Blaster Thank you

[@EliasGadgets]

arturo caccioppoli Thank you too.

[@cntrl_see7346]

Juville Beats ™ However it has midi in/out........?

[@user-mh6hh4wz3c]

I dont say,this is a Bad Mixer,but the Sound of this Demonstration is Garbage! Sorry for that.

[@Pijon3]
