This is a great high quality interface. It very picky with power and connection. Better have a very good type c cable or it will not work at all. But once this is figured out it has a great preamp and sounds great. Needs a good external power connection. Not as effiencent as my pcie motu 24io interfaces even though discontinued they sound absolutely amazing at 96k. I use these in the studio at 96k and typical session I track 24-32 tracks realtime and through plugins. For some reason tracking 4 channels realtime at 96k on this presonus uses more cpu than 30 channels through my 24io's strange but not even close. But for a couple of channels its great. Probably couldn;t use it if it had the capabilities of tracking 30 channels too cpu intensive. But for what it is, it does sound great and the preamps are spot on.

I’ve had the ES 4 about better than a year and everything was top notch, working great. Then I became an Apple user…….. I fully disclose I’m a retired home hobbyist,,barely an intermediate and definitely a pedal abuser lol. The ES4 stopped working- new routings hardware wise is my less than educated guess was the problem.If I was staying on Windows I’d probably stay with the ES4 although hindsight HD8 is probably the best value for the dollar so if you’re a home hobbyist getting serious but still not ready to drop 5/10 grand overall….. the HD8 will get professional level work flow accomplished.I am going with a simpler interface and small mixer…(because I’m a fun loving retired hobbyist just enjoying it all)….of course through Zz, great business with A+ customer service

A++ for presonus. They have really stepped it up hear in every aspect from the pre’s to the headphone amp. Perfect I/o configuration, love the ergonomics and the metering. I have zero bad to say. I’d put this up against many much much more expensive interfaces and best on my quantum es4 every time. I love studio one but the intuitive nature of universal control and any daw is just awesome!!
