PreSonus Audiobox 22VSL USB Audio Interface
Tracking without hearing effects and signal processing is like playing a video game with your eyes closed.
Musicians rely on aural cues when performing, and their performance can vary depending on what they hear in their monitors.
Adding just the right amount of compression, EQ, and reverb can make a huge difference in their ability to hear themselves
clearly and to experience their performance as if it occurred in a natural space rather than in the artificial sonic environment of the studio.
The result is a better performance and ultimately a better recording. You have plenty of effects plug-ins for your DAW, but processing
audio with a DAW takes more time than you might think. True, we’re talking milliseconds, but it’s long enough that if you put
DAW effects in your studio monitors, you’ll hear the original sound slightly before the processed signal, which is very disorienting.
That much delay might be acceptable for live gigs, where the band is playing together in an ambient space that has natural delay.
But you can’t record that way in the studio. Fortunately, our engineering wizards have dramatically reduced processing delay in the AudioBox VSL series.
The result: dynamics processing, EQ, reverb, and effects that feel real, with no audible delay. And if you like what you hear, you can record with AudioBox VSL-series effects, too!
These are the same high-quality StudioLive 16.0.2 Fat Channel dynamics processors and EQs that professional musicians, engineers, and producers record with every day.
Great processors are a PreSonus tradition We didn’t invent the first audio interface with effects. We simply did it better and for less money.
Sure, some interface manufacturers that don’t normally make signal processors have added a compressor, EQ and a few effects to their interfaces.
But the AudioBox VSL series provides all that, plus a separate limiter, expander, and high-pass filter—and we’ve been making high-quality signal processors since 1995.
The AudioBox VSL-series’ Virtual StudioLive (VSL)-based effects and Fat Channel processing have been extensively field-tested and proven popular by tens of thousands of
StudioLive™-series mixer users, including many top professionals. To get you started, we’ve included the same library of more than 50 Fat Channel presets that comes with StudioLive mixers.
These presets were created by professional musicians and engineers and let you instantly set up dynamics processing and EQ for vocals, guitar, and much more.
Seamlessly integrated with the included Studio One™ Artist DAW and VSL, the AudioBox 22VSL interface works with virtually all Mac and Windows audio-recording software.
And unlike most things nowadays, it’s very easy on your budget.
So get the next-generation USB 2.0 interface that gives you real-time, low-latency effects; rock-solid construction; and high-end audio for low-end prices: AudioBox 22VSL!
