Today Focusrite announced the launch of its iTrack Studio, a complete system for recording music on the Apple iPad (or Mac/Windows computer) with “everything a musician needs” in the kit.

Based around Focusrite?s iTrack Solo, a 2-in, 2-out computer audio interface, the iTrack Studio kit includes closed-back monitor headphones, a studio-quality condenser microphone with included XLR mic cable, and a long 30-pin device link cable to connect the audio interface to the iPad. Record both channels of audio to Tape by Focusrite, a free iOS app (available Autumn 2013 from the App Store).

iTrack Studio Key Features

  • Everything required to get started recording music right away on iPad, or Mac/Windows computers.
  • Includes studio-quality microphone and monitor headphones. iTrack Studio comes with a CM25S studio condenser mic, XLR cable and HP60S closed-back studio headphones.
  • Up to 24-bit, 96kHz recording for superb sound.
  • Connect directly to the iPad with 1.2 meter, 30-pin Device Link cable. Also connects to iPad 4 and iPad mini via an inexpensive Lightning adapter.
  • Use iTrack Studio with free iPad app Tape by Focusrite, as well as with GarageBand, Cubasis, or any number of other existing iPad recording apps.

iTrack Studio includes Focusrite?s 2-channel iTrack Solo audio interface, with dual inputs for recording instrument and vocals simultaneously.
