Presonus preamps sound the best. Way better than digidesign or m-audio. This package is the meat and potatoes of what you need to really record. The studio monitors are not hyped sounding like mackie.

This package doesn't have every bell and whistle but really is a great value. You can spend $2000 just for a decent microphone and preamp these days. But this bundle of gear is really all you need to get going and you can add more bells later.

I was up and running within 15 minutes. I had a question about Cubase LE and Presonus support emailed me back the same day. Try getting a response back from some of these other companies.

Everything is clean looking. The Presonus interface is solid, not plastic and cheap feeling. The monitors have some weight to them as well.

You won't be able to find a more comprehensive solution. Believe me, I've tried. I couldn't be happier. THANKS!

Always had great luck with both presonus and zzounds.
