A PreSonus acaba de confirmar que a versão 24.4.2 da sua mesa de
mixagem digital StudioLive está agora saindo da fábrica para os
distribuidores.
Numa altura em que a sua solução de gravação Studio One
1.5 saiu para o mercado com importantes inovações e que a marca anuncia
uma vaga de contratações de profissionais com larga experiência no
mercado, parece claro que a PreSonus se prepara para um agressiva
expansão. Tal como a versão StudioLive 16.4.2, a nova versão de 24 vias
irá apelar a um mercado vasto de aplicações, sendo neste caso
especialmente interessante para som ao vivo.
A PreSonus confirmou que
a versão de 24 vias da sua mesa digital StudioLive está agora
disponível para o mercado, complementando as importantes vendas da sua
StudioLive 16.4.2 – que só não vendeu mais porque a fábrica não havia
sido capaz de responder à procura.
A nova mesa digital PreSonus
StudioLive 24.4.2 apresenta o mesmo desenho e sistema de trabalho que
garante as funcionalidades em estúdio e espetáculos da versão 16.4.2,
acrescentando obviamente 24 canais de entrada, com os mesmos
potenciômetros de ganho, pré-amplificadores XMAX e demais conectividade
por canal. No entanto, é precisamente na conectividade que começam as
diferenças. Enquanto a 16.4.2 tem seis barramentos auxiliares, a
StudioLive 24.4.2 tem dez barramentos auxiliares. As ligações duplas
FireWire que ligam os sinais áudio dos canais a barramentos a um
computador Mac ou PC da 16.4.2 funcionam como uma interface de 22 envios
com 18 retornos, enquanto a 24.4.2 pode enviar 32 canais para o
computador e receber 26 canais de retorno.

Note that the speed of your processor, amount of RAM and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. Also, a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay) that you might experience while monitoring audio or MIDI signals.
Monitor resolution for both PC and Macintosh should be no lower than 1024x768 pixels.
