A complete computer recording solution with Cubase LE 48-track recording
software and GigaStudio 3 LE!
If you want to form a bridge between your
music and your computer, there's a new solution that combines affordability
and ease-of-use
with powerful
capabilities and excellent built-in compatibility with your
computer: the US-122 from TASCAM and Frontier Design Group.
The US-122 features two XLR-based,
phantom-powered mic inputs. As one of the only small computer
interfaces with analog inserts, you can use the US-122 to
place hardware devices (compressors,
etc.) into the recording signal chain. Two line-level inputs
on balanced 1/4" TRS jacks are included, and are switchable to guitar-level
for direct instrument recording into your computer. The US-122
also provides a dedicated control for adjustable zero-latency direct
monitoring,
providing
a sonically pure reference point before entering DAW processing.
Its two line-level outputs provide control for levels, and
a dedicated headphone
output is also included.
In addition to audio interfacing, the US-122 gives you 16 channels of
MIDI I/O for use with synthesizers and other sound generating equipment.
The MIDI I/O is also handy for synchronization and automation with external
devices. For compatibility with a wide variety of computer systems, the
US-122 excels.
It includes drivers for compatibility with
ASIO, WDM, GSIF and Apple Core Audio (OS X) software systems, so you
can turn nearly
any USB-equipped
computer into a powerful audio recording system. Plus, the
US-122 represents an excellent mobile recording solution.
Since it's self-powered via USB,
no separate power supply is required for operation, making
it perfect for mobile recording systems based around laptop
computers…just
plug in a couple of condenser mics and go! The US-122 is
packaged with two valuable
music production software tools at no added cost: Steinberg
Cubase LE recording/sequencing software and TASCAM's GigaStudio
3 LE sampling workstation software.
Right out of the box, you can install the software, plug in the US-122
and begin creating and recording new music. With its compact, ergonomic
design and rugged steel chassis, the US-122 meets the needs of everyone
from hobbyist musicians through advanced professional recording engineers
and producers. If you're into the creative advantages of computer recording,
here's the tool that gets your ideas into your computer!
