Great Video, answered all the questions that I had about the Revelator io24. Thanks Brodie.

[Altair]

Thank you for emphasizing that the latency is negligible, this is huge for me

[erMinded]

I just got the presonus usb dynamic mic and I love it. The Revelator software is excellent. I can't wait to use it on my next show.

[LarrieIlagan]

Great review. Appreciate your video! I will surely get an IO 24 for my broadcast use! greetings from the Philippines!

Gratitud por tremenda Comparativa. Blessing

I have to admit, this is an interesting product due to the DSP being onboard at $200. Steinberg had basic EQ and Compression with their UR series, but this is definitely next level. I am hoping that Presonus brings this to their better offerings in the future (such as a redone Presonus Studio 1810 as an example). They had this functionality in the Presonus Studio 192 mobile and 192, but those interfaces were panned for their overall latency when working in the DAW.

I have been using the Audient ID14 mkii and have been using Loopback 2 on my Mac to route my processed audio in Logic Pro X. I use Neutron 3 Advanced for my Discord processing. It is one plugin that essentially does everything to make your voice sound great. Naturally, the latency is higher than this would be probably, but I am sub 5ms which to me is plenty workable.

Ultimately, if a product like this would have been available at the beginning of the year, I would have given it a real serious look.

I was hoping for a side-by-side comparison of the UAD Apollo compared to the io24 with the same signal chain. (since you mention it in the title 😬)

God that Gate function was very impressive, can you live stream this by connecting the audio interface to an iphone via the camera adapter, for YouTube and Instagram live.
Thank you, great channel btw👏

After early December's firmware update, my IO24 has become unreliable. It loses many settings every time I boot my computer, sometimes only the left side of a playback channel goes to the mains, fixing that issue usually requires unplugging it. I've had other problems that led to me installing the drivers from scratch on Windows. I engaged Tech Support and they weren't able to solve it, but instead had me pin my hopes on the next update of Universal Control of the firmware.

Thanks for the information. How is this different than using software like Loopback from Rogue?

[honestnewsnet]

The mute button on the interface is for muting monitors. It does not mute the mic. At least that was how it was explained to me by Presonus support.

[honestnewsnet]

The mute button on front only mutes the monitors not the mic.

[DJDANIELGIFT]

HELLO GOOD DAY.PLEASE CAN I USE THIS INTERFACE FOR IPHONES FOR LIVESTREAMS ON FACEBOOK OR TIKTOK…?I REALLY LIKE THE WAY BYOU EXPLAINED ITS BECAUSE I USE IRIG STREAM BUT ITS NOT UPTO THE STANDARD I NEED..PLEASE HELP ME OUT

[EmoEmu]

Help a newbie out: Why do they want the XLR plugs in the front instead of putting them on the back? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't need to hotswap 2 mics.

[DonWeaver]

@BrodieBrazil I hope all is well, I heard you mention before that PreSonus Revelator io24 will not power DT 770 250 ohm, but I just purchased a pair. Is there a setup that I can use with beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO - 250 & PreSonus Revelator io24?

[annekedebruyn]

Great video!
The price and what you get is insane.
But I kind of wished that they didn't go with a fixed channelstrip.
I would rather have the option to switch out the voice effects for another compressor or EQ for example.
But again, can I ask something like that for the price?
I am looking for something like an Apollo for a while now. I want to get rid of my analog setup. Love the DBX and the multiband compressors.
But the space is not worth it anymore and it ultimately doesn't sound that different compared to my 'modern' analog equipment anyway.

[jerzboybeats]

The best display of what this interface can do. I will be definitely be getting this. Quick question, how did you record your video and what software you use for your soundboard.

[Airtrooper]

Can the effects be applied to the overall mix output or just the individual inputs? For example I want to put just a compressor and limiter on the "master" of both my guitar and my backing tracks or windows audio playing via the loopback into OBS?
