| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Unnecessarily Complicated
The Product was in fine working order, but for the purposes of recording speeches, it's too complicated. It seems like it's trying to be a cheap version of pro-tools, but if you want to do what pro-tools does, rather buy pro-tools. So, i don't rate the product very high. | 2 | 780 days ago | You get what you pay for.
Great price for a portable usb mic pre. But you definitely get what you pay for. The audio quality is extremely poor, and it quite often crashed the system. If you are doing simple recordings like podcasts or just getting scratch tracks for song ideas, this is the item for you. Otherwise, save your pennies up for the Lexicon Omega, or the paragon of portable audio interface: the Mbox 2. | 2 | 767 days ago | Great product!
The Amazon.com price is better than most that you will find out there, and the unit itself had no problems (I only use it with one microphone) The software that they included is a bit complicated and is just a trial version, so you shouldn't expect this to come with a fully functional mixing program. One thing that I didn't expect was that whenever my Mobilepre is plugged in, my computer automatically uses it as the audio device, so I have to plug my headphones into the Mobilepre, but this shouldn't be too big of a problem. The unit itself is extremely light! and I'm not sure if the blue and white version you see above is an older model or something, but the one I recieved and asked others about is a metallic silver color (which looks much cooler, so its a good thing!) | 5 | 767 days ago | Much better than I expected
I bought this hardware expecting to just make some nice tracks of myself...maybe for a demo. Some of the reviews had some negative things to say so I was very skeptical. I just expected it to be OK, but I must admit I was extremely surprised. First off, I think the software and kind of mic you use are most important when it comes to the mobilepre. The software it came with is very inadequate. I'm using CoolEditPro along with a Shure Beta58 mic, and the sound is phenomenal for personal PC recording. For the price you pay, I think this is an INCREDIBLE deal for beginner recording equipment. The sound you get is by no means studio quality, but you get 85% of studio power for 15% the price of studio equipment. Bottom line, it's great for anyone looking for simple starting pc recording hardware. A Great value.

<br />If you want a sample of what I've recorded with the mobilepre, feel free to email me and I'll send you a sample of one of my recordings. | 5 | 767 days ago | Good for demos and budget home studios
This is a great value as it can power a condenser mic as well as being a recording interface.
<br />
<br />Two gripes:
<br />First, as another reviewer pointed out, this unit is a little more noisy than advertised, with a noise floor of about -75db in my testing. This is fine for demos, but not for recording anything for a major release.
<br />
<br />Second, there seems to be some bleed-over from one channel to the other, which is fine if you're recording one channel at a time, or using both for stereo recording, but don't expect a pure channel of drums and a pure channel of guitar.
<br />
<br />
<br />However, for the money, this is a good unit, especially with its portability and preamp. | 4 | 767 days ago | Pretty neat piece of equipment. when you tweak it a bit...
Thsi device is only 16 bit, but I was able to record in 24 bit 48 sample rate with fooling with the settings on my recording software. Before, tweaking the software...I would get really high latency while recording, but the pres on this aren't bad at all. If you're not lazy and don't mind tweaking stuff a bit, it's a pretty cost efficient piece of equipment. But it's definitely not for lazy people that don't want to take no more than a minute to get stuff to soundultra clear. I've definitely gotten some professional sounding stuff with this one, and I have an ultra critical ear, it definitely does what it's supposed to. Make sure you have an up to par system though because it is usb powered. if not, you might want to try for the presonus firebox...which is firewire based and I definitely recommend it as well. | 4 | 767 days ago |
