The new TASCAM SERIES audio interface family provides professional quality. Expandability, both internal and bundled effects processing, internal mixing, external software control, and more for studio, home, and live recording. With a new look, including an angled tabletop design and large, easy-to-grab knobs, TASCAM sets a new standard for mid-grade audio interfaces. Special versatile bundled software to produce your music from start to finish TASCAM SERIES audio interfaces are bundled with a series of software that allow full operational coverage: at the core of music production is Steinberg’s Cubase LE / Cubasis LE; for instrumental recordings comes IK Multimedia’s AmpliTube with guitar/bass modeling and colorful effects; newly added to the bundle is iZotope’s redesigned Neutron Elements, which includes 4 powerful tools for creating great mixes; last but not least, IK Multimedia’s T-RackS mastering software will finish up users’ creations into high quality masterpieces.
