PreSonus Capture FAQ
Is PreSonus Capture free?
Yes, PreSonus Capture is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is PreSonus Capture legit?
🤔 The PreSonus Capture app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Useless on its own, waste of money, buy something else.
There should be a warning that ‘Studio One Prime’ doesn’t exist, so as well as paying for this app, YOU ARE OBLIGED to pay for Studio One V6 or a if you don’t then there is no way of exporting any file.
And Studio One V6 isn’t compatible with older macs, which isn’t well advertised until you have registered, downloaded and installed the product.
Only when you try and launch it does it tell you that the OS isn’t supported.
I was looking forwards to recommending Presonus, now I will be warning against it.
I will be returning the useless box asap, which is a shame, it looked promising.
DO NOT BUY!
Is slow, it Crashes every time and I’ve only downloaded it 20minutes ago! I will be looking into getting my money back, the app is unfit for purpose! Trading standards/Apple need to start penalising apps that you pay for that don’t work!
Not what I was looking for
As a studio one professional user, and a big user of iOS music apps, I was hopeful that this would be the perfect interface between mobile and pc songwriting. I was very disappointed! Essentially, there is only one way of getting audio, or midi, in to the app, and that is via the microphone jack, either directly or through an interface, which kind of defeats the purpose of mobile production. There is no way of routing audio or midi from any of the plethora of fabulous apps available on iOS...... other than a convoluted method involving output of signal via iPad headphones, and back in to the iPad via an interface. There seems to be No Audiobus capabilities, no direct input, no vst’s or AU’s, you can’t even load samples or files into tracks. I’m actually not even sure what the purpose of this application is.......
Oh Dear
This promised so much and I am using the Mac version (which seems fine) but this seems to lock up with the slightest provocation !
I think I want my money back ?
Great app - amazing transfer!
Loads of recording apps out there - but this works great. But why I'm writing this is that I just transferred some tracks wirelessly straight out of this app and directly into Studio One. Which is on my Windows machine. Awesome!!
Please update Capture

YOU CAN’T MIX FROM THIS APP
The only export option is to send to Studio One- which costs more money. This was a waste of money for me.
DEFINITELY worth the money. Other reviews are incorrect
This app does EXACTLY what it says on the tin, and nothing more. This is what it says: A live TRACKING app! This is perfect for the live “gigging” musician or FOH/A2 engineers and technicians who need to track live and edit later. The app has a very simple interface, and has yet to not recognize a console I have plugged it into. Behringer/Midas, Allen and Heath, DiGiCo, Yamaha... works flawlessly. And, you can select up to 92Khz sample rate *if* the console supports it. Otherwise, it will simply give you a choice of the sample rates available.
I am running this on a 7th gen base 10.2 w/128GB memory, and there are no read errors. The default dark screen reads well in dark venues and FOH positions. The battery impact is quite low, with a 1 hour recording session (straight through, no stops) with 15 min before and after set only consuming 21% battery.
To those reviews who claim this is a bad product:
- This will not record over 44.1k from the internal iPad microphone. Sure, Apple says it can sample at a higher rate, but let’s be honest: These iPad mics are NOT “studio grade”. I should know. I run one. This is just the limit the app puts on the device. That is the way it is. This choice is up to the developers and is probably made for stability reasons.
- With the USB-C or lighting to USB camera USB adapter, this will take in any console. It is plug and play. If it does not work, then it is the console that is either not supported or not updated. But, I have tried this on over 20 devices and not a one has been rejected.
- No, it is NOT a DAW. If you are looking for an app to edit audio and to mix and master, this is not it. That is because it is not meant to be. It is a tracking app, which for professional engineers is ideal. And, for musicians, is incredibly smart as it only runs the software needed to securely get your tracks down so you can *import* them into the DAW of your choice or to send them off to your engineer. Simple is good. Simple does not crash. And, for $10, of course it isn’t a full DAW. Some reviewers want the world for free and for others to pay them for the privilege.
- The track import function does work and works well. You have to be on the same WiFi as the recipient machine, and from what I can see, you will have the best results if you are on Studio One 5 (either stand alone or through Sphere). If you don’t have Studio One, you can still take an external drive and migrate the tracks that way.
My theory is that all of the neg
Not for recording just use GB
No audio import AT ALL. Cannot paste from capture duo projects either. A total joke. Bought iPad interface $150 only to find out I can only record 2 tracks. Was told to pay $9.99 to buy this. Now I can record 3 or more tracks, but no existing audio is available for import or paste. I need a refund.
