Overview
A home studio desk is where the PreSonus ioStation 24c belongs, pairing a two-channel interface with DAW transport controls and a motorized fader on one USB connection. Session Navigator helps you move around recordings and edit parameters.
Hands-on control is the reason to look: transport buttons and a moving fader reduce mouse work during recording and mixing. Input count stays modest, and the listing names no output connectors.
Who it's for
Producers and podcasters recording a couple of sources while mixing with a real fader in Studio One or other DAWs. Bands tracking many instruments at once should look at an interface with more channels.
Pros and cons
- Motorized touch-sensitive fader
- Transport controls for DAW recording
- Two XMAX mic preamps
- Studio One Artist included
- Two input channels only
- Output connector details missing
- Controller depends on DAW support
Performance notes
Converters at high resolution and the XMAX preamps set the recording quality, while the motorized fader follows automation inside the DAW. HUI and Mackie Control emulation let the unit talk to many programs, with native control in Studio One. Everything travels over one USB cable, so the computer port and cable quality matter.
