PreSonus Audiobox USB Audio Interface | The Home Recording Guy

My PreSonus Audiobox USB Purchase

This past week, I went down to Guitar Center and looked for a high quality Audio Interface.

I was only looking for something simple that I could use to learn how to record guitar covers into my computer with. Nothing too fancy.

After searching around and speaking to some of the employee’s in the recording section I picked out the PreSonus Audiobox USB. This interface is awesome!

Before I begin telling you guys about the interface, here’s a quick video of me opening it up:

How User Friendly is the PreSonus Audiobox USB?

This interface is super easy to use! I’m using it with Apple’s Logic Pro recording software. All I do is plug the interface into my computer using the USB chord it came with, then open up Logic. Once I’m in Logic I check the preferences to make sure my “input in” is set to “Presonus Audiobox.” Then all I have to do is plug my guitar or microphone into the front jacks using a 1/4″ cable, create a new track, and begin to record! Its super simple.
