@@vadimmartynyuk 192kHz is a prefered option for the more flexible audio processing stuff. even the 48kHz is not enough:)

[@RockinSG]

That's my plan too. I'm thinking it would be overkill for strictly in home studio use. I use computer drums and play all instruments myself. Would this be overkill? Maybe 16 channels is enough? How is it working out for you?

[@JBF-GST-Tanda]

A decent rival against Behringer Wings and A&H SQ's. It is at least as powerful as some of the large-format, heavy-duty digital consoles like Midas Pro 1 or Soundcraft Vi series. Dedicated FX sends/returns and native support of multitrack USB I/O are also great features which are seldomly found on traditional large-format consoles. Here are some features I'd anticipate to see on the next version (Series 4?): 1. At least 4 customizable fader layers - A single "user" layer is far from enough on such a beast. 2. Input source A/B patching - There's already an A/B switch on board, so make full use of it to provide another wonderful feature for broadcasting and hybrid-mixing. 3. Patchable insert points - Use physical ports to incorporate outboard gear into the mix, or use the powerful 64x64 USB soundcard to run some Waves processing. 4. Dual AVB ports for redundancy. 5. Better scene control system - Subdecimal cue numbers, more detailed scene safe/isolation functions, and use the "audio player" buttons as scene control buttons (Previous, Pause, Go, Edit)

Does this unit have an internal HD recorder where I can multi track without having to use a computer and DAW?

[@sweetwater]

Hi John, great question! The StudioLive series of mixers does have an SD card recorder that can multitrack record up to 34 tracks, so no computer is required! Just note it is not an internal hard drive, and the maximum SD card size is 32 GB. Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1281, [e-mail]

[@John_Michael2000]

@@sweetwater Hey Jason, thanks for replying.. And for the record, when I said internal, an actual hard drive or an SD card is pretty much what I was talking about. I'm gonna look into this unit, but tell me.. is there a smaller identical unit as this? Say a 24 track version instead of 64? I cant really use 64 tracks. I'm just by myself in my home studio looking to record one track at a time. For years I was using a Fostex 4 track cassette recorder. In fact a bunch of my recordings from that studio is uploaded here to my channel. With the exception of the live recordings, I'm playing all the instruments and using a synch tone from my sequencer. I just want to upgrade to a more professional sound..

[@matthewwhitaker4849]

SAMPLE RATE ?

I find it weirdly expensive as it's slightly more than the UR44C which has amazing DSP effects and same amount of total inputs. That said, there seems to be some genuinely good plugins and apps given for free to Presonus interface buyers.

[@revtrweberjr.924]

so all the channel features (I/O) on the 64s, via firmware update, is available on the 16, 24, and 32 versions both rack mounted and desktop series 3 mixers? for ex: the 16 channel desktop Series 3 mixer, after downloading the firmware update, will be possible to control or mix 64×32 + LCR (provided the correct stage boxes were used)?

[@TheRickdoggie]

The software is identical on all of the Series III Mixers. However, the total number of I/O is different. Only the StudioLive64S will give you 64x32x3 . All of the other mixers (32S, 32SX and 32SC) can do a max of 32x16x2. Hope this helps!

[@revtrweberjr.924]

@@TheRickdoggie kind of... I just want to make sure, I'm thinking correctly. if i where to purchase the Series 3 16 channel mixer, and used the correct corresponding I/O boxes or say even 2 of the 32r version of the Series 3 mixers, I would have a total of 64 ins and 32 outs? or do I have to purchase the 64 channel version of the series 3 mixers to have this type of I/O. I'm asking because, our church has a small amount of room for a mixing console, so space is of a premium. But if we run everything correctly, we need more than the 32 inputs. And I'm trying to piece together our new sound system, for when we purchase it.

[@TheRickdoggie]

@@revtrweberjr.924 if you want to go beyond 32 inputs, you'll need the new StudioLive 64S. You can expand it to a full 64 channels by using NSB Stageboxes or any of the PreSonus Rack Mixers.

@@TheRickdoggie thank you for your time!

[@boothbuster]

Rick Naqvi what difference is there between the 32s and the previous flagship 32? I cannot seem to find that difference. (See edit note at end, I think I saw you answer this elsewhere .) That said, I wish I’d waited to buy until now! I thought for sure it would be another year or two before an update! ;( I guess I have to sell my 32 that I barely took out of the box last week. I also bought the 32r just to get to 38 channels (Or is it forty) and use it as a remote for my studio gear to plug into directly. This 64 would have been perfect. EDIT: I saw the other comment you responded to, so I think that answered it... once I update, my 32 will be the same as 32S internally... but not the 64 channels like this 64 model of course. However, can I use my 32R plus my 32 plus the update and get 64 channels recording to the DAW via USB, even though the 32 won’t be able to address all 64 channels internally, or no? That is a question I still am not sure about.

USB-C ASAP PLEASE!!! The connection is much better, much more secure especially for live use. I love Presonus products and Studio one is about to be my main DAW, but I won't buy this mixer until you put USB-C on it. Not getting too technical don't even need 3.1 or whatever. Just want the physical USB-C connection. Everyone knows Mac AND PC already signed on to this type. It physically wears significantly less than the old USB-B male. I've had problems with every piece of equipment that takes USB-B Male. The cables SUCK and eventually the receivers of this type malfunction. I've had a phone with USB-C for almost two years and there's been no difference in consistency in feel and operation. The cables last. USB-B was designed to fail. I'll buy the 32s as soon as you omit the USB-B completely and add the USB-C. I don't even wanna see USB-B on the next one! Please do this and take my money. You can have my $3000. You deserve it. Just give me my USB-C ASAP so I can get to work. I'm serious. I'm not buying this until then... Love you PRESONUS! I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU MAKE! 💙

[@boothbuster]

Earl Campbell dude... just buy a usb-c to usb-a adapter then you can use usb-c and never unplug the usb-a!

[@esizzle]

@@boothbuster How did you manage to COMPLETELY miss the point? I was VERY clear. My post has absolutely NOTHING to do with "USB-A"! So what the hell are you talking about? Re read my post in full, I never even mention "USB-A". maybe you'll get it the second time around... And do you really believe I never once thought about an adapter? Again, not the point... C'mon. Geez 😳... Cheers 🍺

[@boothbuster]

@@esizzle I re-read your post and my point stands... just buy a high quality short adapter cable, gaffer tape it to the rear, and presto, you can use USB-C, and NEVER have to even think about the original USB-B connection. You will never disconnect the original USB port, thus less likely to fail on you. Win-win. No need for Presonus to cater to you specifically when others, like myself, prefer USB-B, and you won't have to worry about the lower insert lifetime of USB-B vs USB-C.

[@boothbuster]

I only mentioned USB-A because I wasn't sure if you would be comfortable using the factory cable to get to USB-A first, then adapt from there. Otherwise just convert from B to C.

[@esizzle]

EDub Again, you've missed MY point even though you say you re-read. My point is the original one here and always was THIS... The USB-B 2.0 MALE connector is a faulty design! This is no secret in the world of pro audio! In addition, the RECEIVER (female) for "USB-B MALE 2.0" on every unit of multiple brands has always failed eventually on every device I've ever owned or run on a gig or in a studio. THAT'S my point. It's a very simple concept... I never asked anyone to cater specifically to me. I never asked for your advice on adapters. I don't need it. I'm a pro musician and producer 25 years strong 😉 and I make a living traveling the world with Recording Artists and run DAWs LIVE in Arenas and Showrooms. USB-B 2.0 receivers (female) and their male counterparts fail EVERY TIME! it's just a matter of time, no matter how much you baby these devices and sound cards. THAT is my point. Nothing else. Try and comprehend my complaint before you comment again with irrelevant, useless info. Even my six year old daughter knows what adaptors are!!!... There are tons of people (not just me) waiting (three years or longer) for USB-C inputs to be mandatory. Not for 3.0 or 3.1 speeds. JUST for the secure, safe connection between devices. USB-C is a uniform design. There's no right-side up, no upside down! PC and MAC BOTH agree this connection is more efficient and upgradeable as well. Then for everyone with faulty USB-B MALE 2.0, they can all use your wonderful advice on all the silly adapters and you all can fidget around with all that crap, especially since its already basically obsolete. Or here's a concept- have both inputs on the unit for $3000 or even worse the A&H SQ7 doesn't even have it @ $5000!!! ... But myself and MANY others REFUSE to spend this amount of dough on something you need a silly adaptor for, especially when in a year or two everything's gonna have EXACTLY what I'm talking about! Should've already happened by now. I was not opening a conversation about this like on some random opinion-based forum. I'm speaking DIRECTLY to them and nobody else. I'm saying what a million of us think and know but won't spend the time to type... "Give us USB-C dammit!!!" It's 2019 and it's on almost every successful modern device for the last three damn years!!! Mac already ditched BOTH THUNDERBOLT 1 & 2!!! (Yes, "THUNDERBOLT 3®" is just a fancy, proprietary sub-brand name for USB-C). Btw, I said this about Blu-Ray, SSD and I've been RIGHT so far. NOW THIS??? What the hell are y'all waiting for? C'MON LET'S GO! It's a damn connector. Upgrade!!! Respectfully, in the future, when you spend time commenting on others' comments, make sure you fully try and comprehend THAT person's original point. After all, it is THEIR point! It makes absolutely zero sense AND is totally counter productive to chime in on something with "advice", "pointers" or comments which are completely irrelevant to the original point. This happens to me way too often on KZbin, so I feel the need to say this to hopefully stop this seemingly rampant ignorance. I hope this makes sense to you... Thanks! 🍺

The only thing that they've done is added 32 more channels. Pre amps don't come close to M32's Midas pre's. No expansion card for options such as Dante, Madi, etc. And no 96k resolution. The EQ is sharp. Not great. Compressors aren't that good either. Plus anything more than 32 channels. I'd be using a Midas pro series. A profile or a Yamaha CL series or shit, even a PM 5D. This product is comparable to a sound craft compact with extra channels. I wouldn't waste my money.
