Hello everyone, I'm a HS band director and I like to dabble in recording. I record my band every chance I get as it really helps me and my students improve. I've owned a Presonus Firestudio for about 2 yrs now. This has been my experience.

Hardware Quality 10
The hardware mic-pre,s and hardware features are 1st class
Drivers 5
The 1st set of drivers Presonus shipped were very picky about the computer you used them with. They pretty much refused to run on my Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop. The updated drivers and firmware seem to be much more stable. It runs without a hitch on the same computer.
Included software 7
Cubase LE is OK but you can easily do much better for not much money (Reaper)
Overall rating 8
This would be higher if the 1st set of drivers had been better.
