Good morning! I purchased a new Studiolive 24R yesterday. I will be using this mostly as a "mixerface" - it will liver permanently in my studio for recording purposes. This is an upgrade/replacement for a Behringer XR18 that has served me faithfully for a long time, but I ultimately needed more channels.
The unit I got had a manufacturing date of Dec 2018 and shipped with firmware version 1.9.x. I installed UC (twice, to get the audio drivers to work) and when I plugged the mixer in via USB to my computer (Windows 10 Pro, build 1803) and launched UC (v 3, the latest available for download), the first thing it did was inform me that the mixer needed a firmware update, which I did. The mixer is now running 2.0.15934. UC is ver 3.0.0.51747. The audio latency over usb is VERY good, even better than my Studio USB 6|8! What is almost unacceptable however is the meter latency in UC over USB - a demo of which can be seen here: https://youtu.be/zwIuxKDmsns This was taken on a Dell XPS laptop that is 6 months old that is a clean system. I also notice that UC responds to commands/clicks more slowly over USB than via ethernet. When I connect over ethernet, the metering latency is slow but usable. Coming from my XR18, the metering latency was almost nil over ethernet! Unfortunately, when using the mixer i don't have the option to connect over ethernet when I am connected via USB (which I am doing for tracking in Reaper). Advice would be appreciated. I will be reaching out to Presonus tomorrow. Thank you. |
Crackles is nothing we like when we listen to Music... I hope you can figure out the problem fast. There is a new version of Capture available now, which has some new features. It also looks more professional. It might be an idea to install Capture in order to check if the crackles continue.
A buffer of 512 is the default setting of UC Control (the driver). There are more options. |
It's now May 2020, and this problem of meter lag in UC Surface has still not been fixed???..Come on lads, time to lift your game in the software dept.... Your gear is great sounding, easy to use, very reasonably priced, BUT! the software sux, well no, it doesn't "suck"........ It's just clunky, it's always been sorta clunky...Please guys, collaborate with some 3rd party software yoda's, they are out there, and write a kik bleep program that we all want, please, please , please with sugar on top. I crossed over from the X32 to the Studio live and while I think the series 3 sounds better than the X32, the remote app "Mixing Station" is totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!, get the same guy to write a new UC Surface program, it is the only thing missing....,

I want to try in Photoshop to draw my interface no matter how I want to see it, for example, in terms of convenience .... need to spend time and do it. perhaps many would like it. |
I have tried absolutely everything i can to get this to behave but no Joy. This really is not good, version 3 of UC Surface and we still have horrible lag between metering and source input???, and this is over USB , WIN 10 64bit , monster PC. Everything in the app moves about 0.5 to 1 sec behind whats really going on. Please Presonus get onto this and get a fix happening. I 'm almost ready just to switch camps and find something that actually works, super frustrated.

For those not in the FB group 'Presonus StudioLive Series III Users'
I did this post yesterday.... The meter latency using Universal Control connected via USB 2.0 is still very much an issue and frustrating. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2719814 ... 305365966/ But the metering across the app needs attention.... |
