Arturia AudioFuse Studio USB Audio interface and AudioFuse 8Pre Amp

Arturia AudioFuse has now grown into a real product family. There are now three USB audio interfaces in total, the new additions have been christened “AudioFuse Studio” and “AudioFUse 8Pre”.

Both shine with lavish equipment, high-resolution converters, and the “AudioFuse Creative Suite” as an extra. This is a bundle of plug-ins that currently includes the TridA Pre, 1973 Pre, V74 Pre, Mini Filter, and the Analog Lab Lite. Arturia has enough software in stock, so it’s not difficult to be that generous.
