Review: The Focusrite Forte is a professional 2-input/4-output portable USB audio interface for Mac and Windows, designed to deliver analogue sources to your DAW at the highest possible quality. It features 2 remote-controlled mic preamps with the unrivalled sound quality you would expect from Focusrite. The Forte partners these with superb digital conversion at up to 24bit/192 kHz resolution. Built into a solid aluminium case, the Forte features a colour OLED display, touch controls and a single large control knob for intuitive operation, with DAW integration transforming it into a control interface.

The Forte takes its name from the original Focusrite console that embodied all the fundamental elements of the renowned Focusrite sound. Focusrite's original Forte was the recording console based on the ground-breaking mic pre and compression modules that Rupert Neve created for Air Studios back in the 1980s. Designed to offer the very highest audio path quality irrespective of cost, the Forte console set the benchmarks for mic preamplifiers and dynamic control and that remain unequalled today. The Forte USB audio interface continues this obsession with sound quality.

The Forte has been designed specifically to provide a compact, rugged and effective input path to your computer with the maximum possible audio quality for mic, line and instrument sources. In particular, the Forte delivers class-leading dynamic range and noise floor, both highly significant in today's world of an almost unlimited number of tracks making up a mix, and class-leading conversion performance, ensuring you get the very best quality sound at all times.

Particular attention has been paid to ergonomic design. A breakout cable with locking connector is used for microphone (XLR) and line/instrument (TRS) inputs, but balanced line and independent headphone outputs are provided on the unit itself, so the breakout cable is not required for playback-only applications. In addition, the fact that the mic and line-level inputs on the breakout cable are separate means that you can keep your inputs connected all the time without having to re-patch when you go from one to the other. The Forte can be bus powered but an included power supply further improves output performance and delivers +48V phantom power to your microphone.

Recording package includes the Scarlett 2i2 audio interface, CM25 microphone, HP60 headphones and Cubase LE 6 recording software

Review: The complete professional recording package for musicians.

Whether you're just starting out on your musical career or you're a seasoned professional, the Scarlett Studio gives you everything you need to start recording studio-quality music right away, right down to the microphone cable. Just add your computer.

Now you can record guitar, vocals, bass or other instruments directly into your computer, complete your recordings with studio effects and create a master mix.

Focusrite have been making high-end recording systems, used in the world's top studios, for over 25 years. That same precision engineering is now available in a compact, high-quality system for you to connect to your computer and start recording now, and it's all inside this box.

The audio interface is the key to making professional recording. At the heart of the Scarlett Studio is the Scarlett 2i2. This interface connects to your Mac or PC via the USB port and provides 2-inputs and 2-outputs to your music software. The Scarlett 2i2 delivers the superb quality and legendary Focusrite sound that audio industry professionals have relied on for decades. Plug your instrument, bass, guitar, keyboard, synth, you name it, and the included studio microphone straight into the front panel and the 2i2 brings them into your computer at the highest possible quality. You can record, edit and mix until you have just the sound you want, with the best possible playback quality so you can hear exactly what you're doing.

The Scarlett Studio really does give you everything you need to start recording. There's a studio condenser microphone, the CM25, that's specially designed to catch the life and soul of your vocals and acoustic instruments. Clean, smooth and sensitive, it captures every nuance. If you can hear it, you can record it. There's even a high-quality, low-noise microphone cable included, to connect the CM25 to the Scarlett 2i2.

The included HP60 studio monitor headphones tell it like it is. Accuracy is number one when it comes to monitoring. Unlike many headphones that flatter the sound, making it sound better than it really is, the HP60s give you a clear and accurate impression of exactly how your music sounds, so you can get it just the way you want it. And when you play it back elsewhere, it'll sound great.

The Scarlett Studio includes all the software you need to get you going straight away. The Cubase LE 6 is powerful music production software for recording and mixing. The Focusrite Scarlett plug-ins are a set of essential tools for polishing your mix, like compression to tighten up that bass or keep your vocals smooth and even; equalisers to bring out the character in your sound, gating to help remove noises, and reverb to give your music the space it needs. The Novation Bass Station is a software synthesizer that you can use to add additional bass or melody sounds to your music. Because it is a synth you can create totally new sounds that no one has ever heard before, or recreate classic sounds. There is also a sample pack from Loopmasters to add drum loops or sound effects to your track.

2-channel USB audio interface with balanced XLR outputs and a galvanically isolated USB connection

Review: Trouble-free, direct transmission of audio data from a computer to a professional sound reinforcement system, without any reduction in sound quality or level.

The A-1 Live has been specially developed to enable a high-quality, trouble-free transfer of audio data from a computer to a professional sound reinforcement system. Despite offering a variety of functions and possibilities, many standard sound cards and interfaces often lack either balanced XLR outputs or a galvanically isolated USB connection. This frequently leads to interference, hum, poor transfer quality and insufficient output levels. With the A-1 Live however, such problems become a thing of the past.

Using the A-1 Live, the computer can be directly connected to the system via balanced XLR connectors, without the need for additional devices such as a mixer. A trouble-free connection is guaranteed, with no reduction in signal level and the galvanic isolation providing additional protection for your computer.

The A-1 Live is a high-quality, 2-channel USB audio interface with balanced XLR outputs and a galvanically isolated USB connection. It is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 (32bit and 64bit), as well as Mac OS 10.4 - 10.7 and Linux from Kernel 2.6.

Core MIDI interface for iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad

Review: The iRig MIDI is an ultra-compact standard Core MIDI interface for iOS that connects any MIDI compatible device to the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

The iRig MIDI connects MIDI keyboards, drum machines, drum pads, pedal boards and more to an iOS device to control not only the included SampleTank FREE but also a world of MIDI-compatible apps such as GarageBand. You can also use iOS apps to control external MIDI equipment such as sound modules, DAWs or lighting systems right from the mobile device.

The iRig MIDI is the only compact iOS MIDI interface sporting 3 MIDI ports: I/O/Thru. These connect to any standard MIDI jacks using the included 2 x 1.6m/5.2' cables. The iRig MIDI also has 2 LEDs for displaying the MIDI activity on the I and O ports.

The iRig MIDI also exclusively provides a micro USB port with included cable, that connects to any standard USB power supply source so that the iOS device can stay fully powered during long sessions.

There are many ways to integrate iRig MIDI into a mobile rig for various types of musicians such as: keyboard players, producers, guitar/bass players and vocalists to name a few.

There are many instrument apps for the iPhone/iPad, and it's fun to play them on their multi-touch screen. But this is impracticle when it comes to using them as a live instrument. The iRig MIDI has the ability to use any MIDI keyboard controller (from home digital pianos to advanced synthesizers or computer controllers) as an input source an iOS device to easily control instrument apps in a familiar way.

The included SampleTank for iOS also offers a high-quality mobile alternative to traditional software and hardware sound modules and has been studied from the ground up to work as a live performance instrument where it can access as a vast 750 MB library of over 400 ready-to-use sounds.

Use the iRig MIDI with drum machines, MPC-style pads and groove boxes. Connecting one of these devices to the iRig MIDI input allows the hardware device to play an iOS instrument app or to use the rhythm patterns of an external device with an iOS app as a drum and groove sound module. iRig MIDI also works as an easy-to-use MIDI recorder with the free iRig MIDI Recorder app.

Alternatively, producers can play MIDI rhythm patterns or MIDI sequences on their iOS device and use an external drum machine or any MIDI sound modules connected to the iRig MIDI output as sound modules.

Connecting a MIDI floor controller to the input of the iRig MIDI allows the user to control effects processing apps for guitar and bass such as AmpliTube or vocal processing apps such as VocaLive which will be updated soon to receive MIDI messages. This will allow the user to change presets or to use pedal controllers to operate wah or any type of continuous controller effects. This also enables keyboard players, DJs and other performing musicians to control iOS effects apps without taking their hands off of their instruments.

With the exclusive MIDI thru port of iRig MIDI, the user can create advanced rigs such as simultaneously using the iOS device and an external sound module as sound generators controlled by a single MIDI keyboard. Or record MIDI performances live using an external MIDI recording device such as a computer.

Universal microphone interface for iPhone, iPod touch & iPad

Review: Hook any professional microphone to your iOS device.

Introducing the First studio quality mic preamp for the iOS platform. Here's how you use it: Take the microphone you use every day on stage or in the studio and plug it into your iOS device. It's that simple. Need Phantom Power? Flip the Phantom Power switch. Congratulations, you've just become a professional user.

This is perhaps the most important product introduction for musicians and the rest of the civilized world since the iPod and iPad. Now, thanks to the iRig PRE, you can hook your favorite microphone to your iOS device and join the mobile music revolution. Create music any time, anywhere with your own high quality microphones on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.

So now if you want to record that special riff using your own ribbon microphone and mix it on your iPhone, you can. Simply plug the iRig PRE into the headphone jack of your iOS device, activate phantom power if necessary, launch your recording software and wail away.

The iRig PRE sports an ultra-compact design so it fits pretty much anywhere. Just slightly larger than a 9V battery, you'll be amazed at how quickly you'll misplace your iRig PRE. But don't let the small size fool you. The iRig Pre is a professional sounding mic preamp that will dazzle you and your friends.

The iRig PRE has a 48V Phantom Power feature that lets you use your favorite condenser microphone with your iOS device. The phantom doesn't eat your device battery, it takes a standard 9V. No longer are you shackled by the chains of passive microphones for your mobile recordings. Now inject the shocking awe-inspiring power and clarity of the ever popular condenser microphone into the lifeless muddy world of AM radio sounding recordings. You'll be the hero of the entire civilized recording world when you unleash the beast onto unsuspecting virgin ears, now thanks to the technological marvel that will become known to the rest of the world as iRig PRE, but you saw it here first. And you can plug a SM58 into it and sound like your fabulous normal self as well.

The iRig Mic PRE features a 3.5mm headphone out that allows you to monitor the processed sound, however you sound. So now you can finally tell if you're idol material.

Unlike some other mic cable companies, IK provide you with an astonishing 40cm (that's like 15.75") of space to place your device. So if you want to Velcro your iRig PRE to your mic stand and use the iKlip Mini to hold your iPhone, you can. And with total peace of mind. Rest assured, you're secured. However, if you Velcro it to the singer's pants, you're on your own. Sorry, that voids the warranty.

In addition, you get 2 free apps to get started recording and effectualizing your voice: the iRig Recorder, a simple-to-use waveform recorder and editor, and the VocaLive, IK's premium live vocal effects processor.

Please notice: the iRig PRE does not support 1st generation iPod touch models, due to their lack of a mic input

USB audio interface/MIDI controller + modeling software

Review: The StealthPedal CS Custom Shop is truly in a class by itself. It consists of the StealthPedal Wah-Style Audio interface, AmpliTube Custom Shop software and 100 x gear credits to use in the AmpliTube Custom Shop. Here's a little more detail about what you get...

One look at the StealthPedal and you'll get it. That's right, it's a wah pedal. But it's also a volume pedal, or gain control, or tremolo speed control, treble booster, amp bypass, pitch shifter, margarita maker, dream date, super model, or actually whatever you want it to be, within the realm of audio and software control. The StealthPedal is an audio interface, meaning you can use it to connect your guitar or bass to your computer. And it's a high quality one at that. It takes your guitar signal and converts it into something a computer can read and manipulate.

The StealthPedal is also a controller. Don't let that scare you, it's actually a great thing. It means that once you get hooked up, you can also assign software parameters to it's knobs, switches and pedal attenuator. And with IK's software, if you know how to right-click a mouse button, you know how to assign a function to a button.

You get 2 x inputs and 2 x outputs. This way you can connect a couple of instruments, or a stereo source, and run the outs in stereo or dual mono. This allows you to take advantage of the stereo effects of the software if you have it set up that way. The functionality of the StealthPedal is expandable, you can also add an additional expression pedal via the expression pedal 1/4" jack, and you can add a dual-button footswitch. Why? Because IK all like options, and this gives you the ability to assign more software parameters to buttons and pedals you operate with your feet so you can focus on the things that matter.

The StealthPedal CS comes with AmpliTube Custom Shop, the leading amp and software modeling package with 24 x pieces of gear including: a digital chromatic tuner, 9 x stomps, 4 x amps, 5 x cabs, 3 x mics, and 2 x rack effects. Basically it's your entire guitar or bass signal chain, but in convenient compact computer form you can use in your studio or on stage.

You'll also get 100 x AmpliTube Custom Shop Gear Credits that allow you to expand and customize your virtual rig one piece at a time. The Custom Shop has over 230 x pieces of individual gear, including exclusive official models from legendary brands like Fender, Ampeg, Orange, Soldano, T-Rex, Seymour Duncan, Groove Tubes and many more.

Once you've dialed in your tone, lay down your ideas with the built-in 4-track recorder. You can layer your ideas with its non-destructive recording feature and re-amp your sound to get everything exactly perfectly perfect.

The AmpliTube Custom Shop also works as a plug-in for the most popular DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) sequencers such as GarageBand, Pro Tools, Cubase, Sonar, Logic, Live, Reaper, FruityLoops, etc. with the exact same functionality, (except you don't get the handy recorder when you're already using it in a recorder).

When you open AmpliTube, you'll feel like you've been here before. The AmpliTube interface looks and acts like a hardware rig, only better. You can choose all kinds of configurations for your rig; use multiple instances of the same effect with different settings, different amp heads with non-matching cabinets, custom configure microphone placement on the speaker and in the recording space, and polish with spectacular rack effects. You now have at your disposal some of the coolest gear on the planet.

USB audio interface + modeling software

Review: The StealthPlug CS Custom Shop is perhaps the most affordable way to get started making guitar music on your computer. It features the StealthPlug 1/4" to USB cable interface, and the new AmpliTube Custom Shop software plus 50 x gear credits to use in the Custom Shop.

The StealthPlug is an affordable high quality low noise analog to digital converter cable that takes the output of your guitar and converts it into something the computer can read. This is done in an all in one 9ft guitar cable that has a 1/4" guitar jack on one end and an USB jack on the other, and an inline set of high speed a/d and d/a converters. You computer will then send the output from your AmpliTube software (that's included) back through the USB port and the StealthPlug converts it back into an analog signal (that's the d/a part) that old-fashioned gear like amps, powered speakers, headphones and stereos can understand so they can do their duty and stimulate your eardrum pleasure centers.

With the StealthPlug, you get 9 full feet of room to stretch out, stand up, jump jive and wail. Simply plug the 1/4" end into your instrument and the USB end into your computer. There's a 1/8" mini-plug jack for your headphones or powered speakers (non-neighbor friendly) so you can hear what you're doing. There's a dual-button volume control in case the police show, and a couple of pretty colored lights you can use to land small aircraft.

The StealthPlug CS comes with the AmpliTube Custom Shop, the leading amp and software modeling package with 24 x pieces of gear including: a digital chromatic tuner, 9 x stomps, 4 x amps, 5 x cabs, 3 x mics, and 2 x rack effects. Basically it's your entire guitar or bass signal chain, but in convenient compact computer form you can use in your studio or on stage.

They'll acquire that forgiving, oversaturated quality once only found on big analog recorders. Type IV conversion actually gives you more headroom, capturing subtle details in higher level signals instead of hard clipping them.

Furthermore, the Lexicon I-ONIX FW810S adds a powerful software mixer with integrated DBX dynamics to your digital audio workstation. This mixer's true-to-life interface design feels familiar from the second you start it, making it easy to adjust levels and route signals through 8 inputs and 10 outputs, apply and preview reverbs as well as dynamics. Moreover, the I-ONIX FW810S does the processing, so you can mix and fine tune your recordings in real time with zero latency. You can even save and load snapshots of mixer settings.

Lexicon I-ONIX U42S streamlines the desktop recording experience. The I-ONIX desktop recording studio is brilliantly designed and fits where it makes the most sense between your keyboard and monitor. With all the level meters and gain controls at your fingertips when using your DAW, you'll wonder why no one ever thought of it before.

Featuring newly designed DBX 60V high-voltage, ultra-low noise mic preamps on all 4 channels, the I-ONIX U42S is more than equipped to provide professional recordings that keeps your music sounding its best. The preamps run on a high-voltage supply to guarantee stability and provide you with superior recording across a wide dynamic range.

The I-ONIX U42S can record four tracks at once and includes 4 combi-jack mic/line inputs. Dedicated knobs and meters offer easy access to input and output levels and locking combi-jacks make sure that a connection is not lost in the middle of a performance.

The Lexicon name is synonymous with the world's best reverb. The Pantheon II VST/AU reverb plug-in features 6 reverb types with 16 adjustable parameters and 35 factory presets that range from vocal to live sound and special effects. It's easy to complete your mix and make your music sound its best with the exquisitely rich, full reverbs that made Lexicon famous.

Review: The Lexicon Lambda is the hardware and software you need to turn your PC or Macr into a 24bit recording studio.

There is no easier way to get into desktop recording. Just add a microphone, computer and musical inspiration. Anywhere you can take your laptop, Lambda lets you record both a vocal track and an accompanying instrument at the same time (or 2 singers/2 instruments). It has 2 studio- quality balanced microphone inputs with phantom power for professional condenser microphones and TRS inserts that let you add outboard equipment such as compressors or equalizers. 2 line level inputs are provided for adding keyboards, drum machines, turntables or pre-recorded backing tracks from CD or MP3 players. A separate front-panel high-impedance input is included so you can plug your electric guitar or bass right in. Via the separate headphone jack, you can monitor as you record, listen to a backing or click track while recording or hear tracks played back from your computer.

Balanced analog line outputs let you connect to powered monitor speakers or a mastering deck.
