User questions & answers

Question:	Are you able to monitor the output through the computer or do you need to have headphones plugged into the box itself
Answer:	You can monitor via the computer or headphones or studio monitors.
Question:	does this work with fl studio
Answer:	Yes, works well with FL Studio! No latency, after setting up drivers.

Answer:	Yes. In registering the Audiobox with Presonus you will create an account on their web site that you can download the software as many times as you want. And you can load it on multiple computers (no limit that I am aware of) since you can only use the device on one at a time. The free Studio One 4 Artist (an absolutely GREAT DAW by the way) can be activated on up to five different computers. (You can also deactivate them on a computer as well to keep your activations down to five.)

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the headphone jack on this for monitoring your inputs, or does your PC audio come through it aswell
Answer:	Hi, You can monitor your inputs and listen to playback from your computer simultaneously, which allows you to create overdubs with next to zero latency. You can either choose to monitor the inputs using the Direct Monitor switch, or you can use the Input Monitor feature in your DAW. If using the Direct Monitor feature the input signal will be passed directly to the line and headphone outputs, whereas if you use the Input Monitor feature in your DAW, you will be hearing the audio you're recording back from your DAW. In either case, you can still hear any other audio playing back from your DAW at the same time as recording. Best regards, Laurence Clarke // Focusrite Technical Support
Question:	What type of usb cable does this come with? is it a type-c to type-c or a type-c to type-a
Answer:	Hi, This comes with a type-c to type-a cable. If you have type-c ports, you will need to purchase a type-c to type-c USB cable separately. Best regards, Laurence Clarke // Focusrite Technical Support
Question:	Does the XLR input only record audio to the left side
Answer:	Hi, When recording a single microphone, you should ensure that you create a mono audio track in your DAW instead of a stereo audio track. When you record onto a mono audio track, the output from that track will be heard on both sides of your headphones or speakers (ensuring the output is set to stereo), however, if you record onto a stereo track, the audio will just be recorded onto the left side of a stereo file and you will ony hear it on the left of your headphones/speakers. This is explained in more detail here: https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206849779?flash_digest=62885ef974b4eb116f3b3ea2c9b9c38ddb871473 Best regards, Laurence Clarke // Focusrite Technical Support

User questions & answers

Question:	It appears that phantom power gets switched on all 4 mic pres simultaneously. Can I use dynamic & condenser mics together without causing damage
Answer:	Because the one in the front is NOT powered. The rear inputs can power mics or active pickups, up to 48v. I run 9v batteries in all my active guitars, so they're already powered, so I just run all my guitars into the front input. If I'm recording my 4x12 cab, I use the XLR in the back with my SM57.
Question:	will this power a microphone that requires phantom power? sorry if this is a dumb question, im new to XLR microphones
Answer:	Your question has me curious. The data speed for this device will not get close to the rates requiring a cable with the thunderbolt 3 type throughout. The audio stream will get there just as fast with their stock cable and with a reasonably priced ($6-10) usb type c cable. The nicer cables are more about throughput than latency.
Question:	Can it write four tracks simultaneosly
Answer:	Audio is routed from the computer through USB-C to Evo. There are two 1/4” outputs on the back of the Evo to plug into speakers.
Question:	Does this include a usb power cable that goes from the interface to the computer
Answer:	My interface remembers its gain settings when rebooting. Both when I power cycle the unit and when my computer power cycles. Make sure you download the most up to date drivers for it.

Question:	Does this come with cubase le download

Question:	If i'm doing a podast, can i record plug my phone into any of these ports and record a call? alongside two xlr mics
Answer:	Hi Matt,Alesis support here! You can connect your phone from the headphone jack to any of the line-level inputs, and it will record alongside two XLR mics. If you have any other questions for me, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected].
Question:	What is the difference between the main out, and monitor out? Can I control two sets of speakers, and a headphone volume independently with this mixe
Answer:	Think of it like a concert, Main Out is the speakers the crowd would hear. Monitor Out is the speakers turned backwards that the musicians hear. Headphone Out is what the producer behind the mixer listens to. And yes, you can control the volume on all three of those outputs independently from each other.
Question:	I'm looking to do live mutitrack recording. does the usb interface send more then one stereo master track
Answer:	Evening... I downsized from the Multimix 4 to a two-channel mixer, basically used for my audio book recordings. If memory serves me correctly, this does offer 2 track in/out via the bus (stereo, of course). Sorry I couldn't be of more help...have you checked out the specs at places such as B&H, Sweetwater, zZounds and so on?

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the software disk or downloads
Answer:	The Software is downloads. ProTools first requires internet connection and has a small cloud coverage, they want you to buy more space. My ProTools sessions won’t open in ProTools first. I believe the AIR Instruments it comes with requires an Ilok dongle and Ilok account for activation. The HDH 40 Headphones are cheap made compared to the HDH 50s. The Mic is ok, the interface is nice made and nice looking. It’s worth the money Guitar Center still carries the only interface this one isn’t really circulated yet!
Question:	Is it ever in stock? been waiting for a month now with it ordered an i keep getting a different arrival time.. is it worth the wait
Answer:	Yes. I too received different delivery dates. It arrived as soon as it was in stock. It is worth the wait.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it normal for every little touch of the mic or mic stand or wires or interface to be picked up loudly in the recording
Answer:	Different mics pick up differently.
Question:	Will this work on a macbook pro 2012 (non retina) on the thunderbolt 2 connector, using an apple usb-c -> thunderbolt2 adaptor and thunderbolt2 cable
Answer:	It should but use the cable that's included
Question:	Which of the Studio models, if any, can actually drive 250 ohm headphones? The 24c, sadly, did not
Answer:	Not sure you are going to find a USB interface that will work those. Those are a very narrow use case style of headphones. I know that are marginally better for listening due to the damping effect. However, for recording and mixing a better choose would be a reference (flat EQ) design like the Sony MDRV6 headphones.
Question:	Will this presonus iostation 24c 2x2 usb-c audio interface work with bandlab cakewalk daw
Answer:	Yes. It uses standard usb drivers so if it works with your computer, it should work with any up to date software.

User questions & answers

Question:	tv has no audio out but has usb. Will this work
Answer:	You can use it as either. It has Left and Right 1/4 and XLR outputs for stand-alone, and a USB cable if you want to connect it to your computer. Keep in mind, if you do connect it to your computer it will only output a stereo track (2 tracks)
Question:	ASIO Driver
Answer:	I haven't tried it but I don't think it will work. It's made for PC and Android systems. I'm pretty sure the Xbox and ps3 won't recognize it as an input device.
Question:	I want to digitize reel to reel recordings and vinyl LP records. Will this work to input the sound to my laptop
Answer:	The signal strength is great. No direct line of sight necessary. U can actually control the TV box perfectly from another room.
Question:	bit
Answer:	Yes u can use it for quick typing on Ps4, it's not a pc keyboard which would be better fit 2 hand use like a pc keyboard, but if you're like me I prefer this small one it Also don't require a lot of table space like a full keyboard.

Question:	How is the 18i20 3rd generation different from the 2nd generation model? What do these changes improve on? Why were these changes necessary
Answer:	The biggest change is in the headroom. These preamps and converters are cleaner and offer more gain than the 2nd gen. These pres also come equipped with the "Air" mode which adds some high end to model the ISA preamp circuit. The 3rd gen 18i20 also has 16 ADAT I/O channels as opposed to the 2nd gen's 8 channels of ADAT. The removable ears also help with portability for the engineer who doesn't want to keep the interface in a rack. If this was helpful, please consider purchasing from us (pixelproaudio on Amazon). We can help with support after the sale as well. We have it in stock and ready to ship. - Pixel Pro Audio
Question:	How is the 18i20 3rd generation different from the 2nd generation model? What do these changes improve on? Why were these changes necessary
Answer:	Hi, There have been several improvements made to the 3rd generation range of interfaces. Firstly, all of the inputs on the 18i20 3rd gen feature Air mode, emulating the classic sound of our original transformer-based ISA preamps. Secondly, the 18i20 3rd gen now has the ability to switch between Main and Alternative speakers connected to it using a front panel button. Thirdly, we have added a built-in Talkback function (allowing the engineer to talk directly to the performer), a Loopback function (allowing audio from one application to be recorded into another without connecting cables), Dual ADAT ports for recording 16 channels of audio into the DAW at 96kHz, optical S/PDIF and removable rack ears. Lastly, the specifications of the preamps and conversion have been improved even further - for example, the dynamic range has been increased to 111dB and the gain range is now 56dB instead of 50dB on the 2nd generation. Best regards, Laurence Clarke // Focusrite Technical Support
