Solved Difficulty with garbled sound and sample rates

[Vocalpoint]

Only concern is that when I was researching for the video at least 3 bench test results put the Presonus pre amps at the bottom of the score.

One should not be discounting a Presonus interface based upon the mic pres. You get what you get at this price point.

You would be buying it create a killer connection to S1 (ideally).

Anyone who really cares about their mics and preamps - will already have something in their stash to handle this.

For those of us who are serious about capturing the front end in a pristine manner, we'll put our U87 or C12 through a Neve or Manley hardware pre-amp... generally regardless of the interface mic pre anyway.
For people using lesser microphones in poorly treated rooms, the mic pre is the least of their potential problems.

True, and if anyone's not made of Manley or Neve money, you can get similar larger-than-life attributes from oldie but goodie preamps like a Presonus MP20 which is two channels of Jensen transformer goodness for like $200 (with the simple, cheap, op-amp mod that turns it into such a beast). There are also giant-slaying mics that get the point across nicely for way less than U87 or C12 prices, but that's a whole other discussion. Your main point is spot on though!
