Tascam TrackPack X2 Computer Recording Starter Pack: Pro Audio Accessory

Capture your music with the Track Pack X2 from TASCAM. This package contains the components you need to turn your Mac or PC into a total production system for music, podcasting or production.
This kit includes the US-122mkII interface. It 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 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 US-122mkII. With two inputs, you can record two microphones or sources at once. The Track Pack X2 also comes with Cubase LE4 software. This 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 your music and turn it into a polished, professional CD.
