    Interesting to talk about quality when only after 1 year of use there are creaks and noises. I've had a cheap office depot chair which granted isn't very comfortable, but has been rock solid for about 3 years and is still in the same condition as when I bought it. The warranty is good, but the best warranty is the one you never have to use. I expect some issues with cheaper chairs, but spending $500+ and having issues...no thanks.

    I`ve bought a few years ago a second hand Omega chair for about 150$ and fell in love with it, now, after about 3 years I have a brand new Titan EVO chair and loving it. It has the Fortnite theme and if they ever make a cover with the Call of Duty theme, then I am going to buy one :) What I do not know how to set is the lombar support which is a little bit odd for me but I have the lombar pillow from the Omega chair which I can use if I do not figure out which is the best setting for the lombar support on the Evo chair. Maybe you can make a detailed video on how to figure out which is the best setting for the lombar support :)

    Hey, great video! Can you compare the 2 interfaces against other interfaces like the Audient ID14 mk2? How do the speaker and headphone outputs sound, are they better than the Audient? Also, would you say it is worth to spend the extra for the HD2 than the ES2 just for the headphone and speakers sound quality? Lastly, can the ES2 drive 250 ohms headphones? is it getting as loud as the Audient? if not, does the HD get louder and can drive these headphones?

    • @JacobDarkOfficial

      I'm not sure on the 250 ohm headphones but I also own an iD24 and find myself having to crank my gain pretty high with it to get my monitors and headphones (ATHM50X) pumping while the HD 8 gets aggressively loud at 11-12 o clock.

    I would love to try the HD8. Im currently using the Studio 192 and its fantastic. I love being able to control my interface from inside of Studio One. It would be nice to upgrade it since ive had it for so long. I really hope Presonus will make an 8 channel mic pre to pair with the HD8 similar to how they paired the Studio 192 and DP88. Not many companies make them anymore. Focusrite, Audient, and Behringer are the only ones i can think of. It would be nice to have more options for expanding the I/O

      The HD8 has a 'standalone' mode that turns it into an 8 channel preamp with ADAT outputs. So you can use up to three HD8's together for 24 inputs and outputs - the first one connected to your computer via usb, and the other two connected via ADAT to the first one in 'stand alone' mode

  • @dpinskey
    @dpinskey 4 дні тому

    Can somebody give me a solid answer on whether there is or is not a way to monitor this unit with zero latency. I have the Quantum 2626 and can only monitor the first two channels with zero latency via the channel 1 & 2 channel insert connections through an external effect that I monitor on an external monitor console. I really wish the 2626 had inserts to do this on every channel but unfortunately that’s what it has. I initially bought it based on numerous reviews touting “imperceptible near-zero latency” but I soon found out that when I tried fiddling with the record buffer I was either disappointed by perceptible latency or pops and clicks. This unit doesn’t even have the two insert points on the first two channels so I am going to have to presume it is more of the same unless by some magic Presonus found a way to give us ZERO latency via the UC Control functionality. What has been the reports on this by user experience thus far?

    Latency is terrible for this interface! There now exist very reasonable DSP-enhanced processors that Presonus can design their interfaces around. Just matching the rest of the slackers in the market with a brand new 2024 design is frankly pathetic. The problem itself is what dictates design and latency is an enormous problem. A session ending problem. At $1000, Presonus should be looking to bring the market up to date, not merely join it. Looking at your excellent testing, at 96k, a 64 sample buffer is 0.7ms, which is a spot-on result any computer should be able to achieve. Roundtrip conversion these days is commonly 40 to 50 samples max, below .5ms at 96k. Yet the RTL reveals an extra 250 samples doing… what, exactly?? These numbers mean that a musician cannot perform live through the interface, no matter the power of the CPU. In 2024.

      Yea I checked out the Gearspace thread and a few people got almost the exact same results. For my needs it works but I don't do a lot of multi tracking with a crazy amount of plugins these days as UA-cam takes up most of my time.

      @@JacobDarkOfficial It’s a pet peeve of mine. I invested in an HDX card years ago out of need for my projects. Between live broadcasts and feeding musician cues, it was well worth the expense. But, what I see in your testing is unusable delay even at 32 and 64 buffers. That’s not going to tolerate any kind of real-world processes at all. I’m just tired of seeing interfaces come out, year after year, with no progress. So, if I sound a little prickly, please know I expect the manufacturers to feel that, not you. You’ve done a great job showing the facts.

    A single color display is a hallmark of cheap. Whether it’s MOTU or Presonus makes no difference. We see in color and smart use of color can impart so much information. I purchased a $1500 MOTU interface and returned it for that reason.

      So you want an RGB unit where you can customize the units LED/screen color?

      @@JacobDarkOfficial No, not at all. I want the manufacturer to do all that. No customizing is necessary.

      Yeh I think the meters could have done with green and the gradient orange to red peaks. Along with some db guidance. Makes it easier at a glance. The units seem solid though latency still needs to be addressed (depending what you use it for) Nothing revolutionary IMO. The blue theme on everything has gotten old. I use studio one and just wish presonus would replace the blue meters with green to orange to red gradients like many other daws. The blue meters kinda makes it cumbersome to the eyes when looking at all the track levels at a glance and..... there's too much blue!!!! But I digress. And yes I think they've cheaped out.

    • @JacobDarkOfficial

      I can live with the blue but if I had my choice I agree with the traditional green orange red meters and maybe white for the rest.

    I don't talk about it much but I live with an incurable illness that's forced me to rely on my UA-cam channel as my only source of income to survive. That said please consider using my links in the description - it not only helps the channel but helps keep my life afloat. BIG THANK YOU to those that do.

    Great review! Looks like a nice monitor to game on. I wonder how it would perform for color sensitive work

    Great review video! After all looks like Presonus is going through a Renaissance period in their company history. Although I wasn't previously impressed with PS, I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with the build quality and design of their new interfaces.

    • @JacobDarkOfficial
      @JacobDarkOfficial 4 дні тому

      Agreed. I'll admit I always thought of Presonus as a more prosumer brand and maybe it still is to some but this HD 8 unit paired with my A7Vs sounds great and has found a home in my rack.
