The Link.USB from Tapco is a two input, two output USB interface that is powered directly via the USB connection. Also included is Tracktion 2 audio and MIDI sequencing software. This hardware and software combination provides all that is needed to record and create music using a laptop or desktop computer.
The interface provides two "combo" jacks that can accept microphone level, line level, or direct instrument input signals. The analog audio signals are routed to high-quality analog-to-digital converters and then routed to the USB port for connection to the computer.
Mixes can also be transferred from the host computer back to the Link.USB for monitoring during tracking or overdubbing. A front panel MIX knob is provided to add low-latency direct monitoring to playback monitoring.
Tracktion 2 is an easy-to-use multi-track audio recording and MIDI sequencing software application, capable of unlimited track count, VST support, automation and much more. It comes with plug-ins that provide a wide variety of EQ, compressor and effects processors.
