The fast, flexible, and affordable center of your computer music setup.
If your band is overflowing with ideas and you're ready to lay down some tracks, or you want to capture the fruit of your church choir's hard work, the 16-channel TASCAM US-1641 computer interface is one of your best choices for properly setting the recording straight. Eight mic/line inputs plus an additional six line inputs offer enough channels to give every instrument and voice a chance to shine and the included Cubase LE, Version 4, offers state-of-the art recording power to craft the right mix.
Small enough to fit into only one rackspace, this TASCAM interface is ideal for both studio and portable computer recording, and since the mic/line inputs are on the front panel, there's no need for crawling behind a rack to get going. On the rear panel, however, there are four balanced line inputs for interfacing with synths, effects, mic preamps, or anything with a line level out. With the TASCAM US-1641 you'll also get up to 96kHz/24-bit resolution without having to lower the input/output count and zero-latency monitoring to prevent distracting delays for your performers during recording.
Besides Cubase LE, you'll also receive the TASCAM Continuous Velocity Piano (PC), a responsive piano virtual instrument powered by GVI in VSTi format. Naturally, the US-1641 is ASIO, GSIF2, and CoreAudio compatible for use with Logic Pro, Digital Performer, Cubase, SONAR, Nuendo, Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack, Vegas, Live, GigaStudio, and most other audio recording software.
