Thumbs up to the Presonus Quantum 4848
I've just completed my chalk-to-cheese upgrade by replacing my old 003 rack+ interface with a Quantum 4848. This is the first product I've ever bought from Presonus.
I can't recall ever having a smoother, simpler install experience. Plugged it in, downloaded the driver installer, ran it and then launched Pro Tools. No re-start, no mucking about, no nothing. And the same with the free UC Console app. Downloaded it from the app store onto my iPad, launched it and there - instantly - was the interface with all its input and output meters. RTA mode is fun too - although the lag is probably too much for it to be really useful. Obviously the greater part of my power gain has been replacing my Macbook Pro with a 12 core Mac Pro - but the Quantum 4848 seems to have a really lean driver. The Sound On Sound review I read mentioned this. I'm running a fairly complex 96k session with lots of plug-ins, including the dreaded Ozone 8 stuff, with a 64 sample buffer and everything's fine. Now to download my free copy of Studio One Professional and bundled plugins...

Glad to hear the 4848 is working out for you.
I have the Quantum 2 and agree that Presonus has their act together as far as ease of use and performance. These are great interfaces at good prices. |

Re: Thumbs up to the Presonus Quantum 4848
Yes, still very happy with it. Only glitch has been that following a forced replacement of my iPad I can't get the app to work any more. The app has metering and an RTA but isn't hugely important to me. It's some sort of compatibility issue with the iOS version and the Quantum firmware version which I couldn't get resolved with Presonus.

Re: Thumbs up to the Presonus Quantum 4848
I'm considering purchasing a 4848. I already have an Apollo x4. Will these work together in a thunderbolt daisy-chained aggregate device configuration?
I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance before I pull the trigger. Thanks for any help. |
