Killer Recording Solution for the Singer/Songwriter!

You sing, you play guitar... you know you need an audio interface, but you're not sure what to get. STOP RIGHT HERE. The PreSonus AudioBox USB was made with someone like you in mind — in fact, you get more than a recording interface, you get recording software with it! The PreSonus AudioBox USB has two microphone/instrument inputs (you can plug a mic or guitar/bass into either) right on the front of it. They're perfect for singing into a microphone while you plug your guitar in and play. There's also a headphone output on the back for plugging in your favorite set of cans as you jam. And when you get your first pair of studio monitors (another studio essential), there are outputs on the back for those too.

What else can we tell you about the PreSonus AudioBox USB? Here's a big deal. On the back there's a MIDI I/O port. Connect a MIDI keyboard controller there and start controlling virtual instruments... you'll want one anyhow, because AudioBox USB comes with PreSonus Studio One Artist software which is loaded with four virtual instruments. In fact, we'll just all-out switch gears here and tell you more about Studio One Artist recording software because it turns the AudioBox USB into even more of a screaming deal. With Studio One Artist (Mac or PC compatible, by the way), you can record an unlimited number of audio tracks. Best yet, the software is so easy to use its learning curve is practically "zero." Included, you get 20 processing effects — those are for turning your recordings into the polished tracks you hear on the radio. You'll love it.

Enter the world of home recording and build your songs into release-ready productions that sound better than anything you've ever created before! The key to getting started is having the right audio interface and the right recording software... and you get both with the PreSonus AudioBox USB.
