Tascam Fireone Audio Interface £99.99
The Tascam FireOne is a new audio interface which provides Fire wire connectivity between the interface and a PC or Mac. Fire wire has a significantly faster sustained throughput than a USB interface due to the difference in architecture and is therefore the preferred choice of some musicians for faster data transfer.
The most unique feature of the unit is its large, weighted, backlit jog wheel, which allows musicians to zip through their song while the backlight provides useful feedback such as a visual metronome.
The FireOne features a pair of mic inputs with phantom power and pad switches. A front panel guitar input allows convenient direct recording of guitar or bass onto a software based recording package. MIDI input and outputs are also provided for 16 channels of MIDI. It's also the first FireWire interface in its class to record and play at up to 96 kHz/24-bit resolution.
The Fireone includes multi-track recording software (LiveLite 6 Tascam Edition) within the package, so you'll have all you need right out of the box. In addition to its weighted & backlit jog wheel, the FireOne has transport keys and eight shortcut keys to control functions in most popular DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) applications.
