With everything you need to produce hit music on your computer.
The TASCAM Trackpack SE USB Bundle comes with the TASCAM US-122 MkII USB 2.0 computer interface, Cubase LE, TASCAM large condenser microphone with stand, and TASCAM HP-VTI closed-ear headphones. The package contains the recording equipment you need to turn your Mac or PC into a total production system for music, podcasting, or production.
The US-122mkII recording interface is your computer's gateway into the audio world. More than just a soundcard, it has a pair of pro-quality microphone preamps for connecting any type of microphone. High-quality condenser microphones — like the included TASCAM TM-78 — need power to operate, which is achieved with the phantom power switch. Another switch turns on the line input, for recording powered devices like keyboards, drum machines, and guitar amp modelers. You can even plug your guitar or bass directly into the TASCAM US-122mkII. With two inputs, you can record two microphones or sources at once.
The TASCAM US-122mkII audio interface connects to Mac or Windows computers using USB 2.0, and the unit is powered over the USB cable. Zero-latency monitoring is available for recording without the delay going to a computer and back. MIDI input and output jacks allow connection of synths and drum machines. Connect the US-122mkII to monitors through the line output or use the included TASCAM HP-VTI closed-ear headphones with the front-mounted stereo 1/4" jack. The US-122mkII makes a perfect portable recording interface with metal components and solid construction built for the road.
This gear pack also comes with Cubase LE4 software. This music production software gives you plenty of tracks - up to 48! - to put together a song arrangement, one track at a time. It's simple to use, and you can edit your tracks to fix timing and mistakes to put together a perfect take. Cubase LE4 has a professional-quality mixer built in with plug-in effects like reverbs, compressors, distortion, auto-pan and more. You can add more VST plug-ins later and there are more free and commercial VST plug-ins than any other format. Cubase LE4 supplies everything you need to record, edit and produce your music, turning it into a polished, professional CD.
