Me: This is a good value for the money. The Studio One software which allows you to record and export music/vocals including individual stems is great. It was user friendly once I knew what I was doing. Here's a tip - check out YouTube for instructions on recording & exporting using Studio One. There are many channels which offer easy tutorials. The AudioBox USB96 was also invaluable. Allowed the microphone and earphone to interface with my computer to provide a more professional sound. The only true drawback is the microphone. It is serviceable but not top notch in terms of filtering out reverb. The key to reducing that and letting it behave more like a top quality microphone is blanketing yourself/voice - which I literally did. I threw a teddy like throw blanket over my head and had the sides hanging on either side of me to create a noise buffer from the room and voila - clear clean vocals!

Rich: My daughter is a singer/song writer and my son loves to create YouTube videos. We purchased this bundle thinking it would be a "good starter set." Blown away by the quality of recordings we are getting through this set up. The Studio One 5 software in this bundle is awesome. I had no experience using Studio One (only Garage Band) but after a few YouTube videos we were laying down vocals. Our AudioBox 96 is connected to an iMac with the following specs and we haven't had any performance issues yet:

Model Name: iMac

Amazon Customer: I have over 25 years experience as lead vocal/writer/rhythm guitar player both electric and acoustic.
When I was performing there was no recording software, there was no home PC's! That is how old I am! ")

Back in the day musicians had to find a sugar mama to shack up with and support them while they played rock star! Rocks stars do not work! LOL!

We had to really tighten our belts while living on a shoestring budget and as soon as we saved enough to pay for a few hours we hit the studio! Studios were charging $200 plus an hour at that time.

Supply and demand dictated studio hourly rates and so if you wanted to record your original material you were gonna pay or remain a wannabe!

Fast forward to post PC where 9 of 10 households have at least two computers and recording software started popping up such as Cakewalk which were very expensive, complex and loaded with ticks and bugs! You practically had to have a university level degree in recording software or, again, remain a wannabe!

Reaper was the first to offer a fairly user friendly program and at just under $30 for a full version with lifetime upgrades Reaper was the Ford...

Matthew Staehle: I have been using this for a little more than 2 years now. I've used it with numerous software suites, including the ones that come with the purchase. The mic and headphones included in this package are not world beaters, but have been great for home use and YouTube videos.

The hardware: Easy to set up, runs off of PC USB connection. Solid construction, easy to use physical interface. Most of the audio display will be in whatever software you are using, but does have red light indicators for clipping. Sound quality has been very good both with the included mic and others plugged in. I would reccomend a good pair of studio monitors be attached if you don't want to have the headphones on all the time.

The Software: It is a bit of a pain to set up initially, but provides a lot of good options once you have done so. I am primarily using 3rd party software like Audacity and the Sound Forge Suite, but that is a personal preference. When I've used the programs included in this purchase they have been solid offerings. Note: I am only recording vocals, not instruments, so I am referring only to my experience with vocal audio quality.

Overall: I am...

Amazon Customer: I’ve been trying to find the perfect audio interface for a while. I am happy to say that my search ended here with a decent price point and such versatility!

There are two mic/line/instrument pres as well as a MIDI hub in the back of the interface. That means that you can record up to three things total. 2 lines and 1 MIDI. This is a major advantage over other interfaces.

Please do consider this interface, especially since it comes with everything you need to get started with obtaining high quality recordings. I personally recommend this interface because it has the two combo pres, the mic, and the headphones for less than most other studio bundles.

If you are wondering, you can definitely plug the line out from your guitar amp with a speaker cable to one of the line/inst. inputs on the front of the interface.

IMPORTANT: If you are experiencing any weird clicking issues, it is likely because the sample rate or size is too low. I remember thinking that I should only set it to 128 samples, but that led to audio problems with guitar preamps. I recommend 512 samples to be safe.

C Ernesto Lopez: Tengo un estudio de grabación y me he dedicado a esto desde hace 10 años. Muchas veces, los clientes me pedían cambios sencillos o tontos por los que me molestaba tener que regresar al estudio, así que me compré este kit para poder hacer correcciones menores en casa. La realidad, me soprendió increiblmenete la calidad de todo.. Los audífonos al ser abiertos, permiten hacer desiciones de mezcla y ecualización que se traducen muy bien cuando los reviso en mis monitores del estudio. La interface es de construcción robusta, y no me ha dado ninún problema con Pro Tools ni con Reaper (Win10). El micrófono es básico pero su calidad es muuuuuuuuy buena. Le he dado muy poca oportunidad a Studio One, pero se ve también como un buen software para alguien que quiere meterse al mundo de la producción. La verdad, que para una persona que quiera comenzar a grabar sus maquetas o canciones, o alguien que quiere llevar su podcast al siguiente nivel, creo que es un producto EXCELENTE.

amuro: I got this kit 3 weeks ago, and it works as expected. It includes everything i need from a audio interface, headphone, microphone + cable, and the recording software. I'm working on my 1st recording from then.
I carefully followed its instructions to register, download, install its driver before plugging the audiobox to my pc, and then installed the studio one software. it's indeed a long process, but i have no trouble found ! I believe to follow its sequence is important.
one of the good thing about this choice is you can find lots of tutorials on youtube, so it does help a fresh home recorder like me.
amazon delivery is very quick, this is good.
only one thing to complain is when i received the box, surprisingly it has no package tape on it. I was so nervous if any of its components fell out of it. so i carefully check the content list to ensure i didn't miss anything. luckily i didn't miss any after it went such a long distance.
