CI2+ Production Kit
Steinberg Media
Technologies today released the
CI2+ Production Kit.
The hardware and software bundle comprises the CI2+ audio
interface/controller alongside the Cubase AI 6 music
production software and WaveLab LE 7 audio editing suite. The
featured Advanced Integration technology facilitates every phase of the music
creation process, from the initial idea through to the final mixdown.
With the CI2+ Production Kit,
Steinberg is offering the ultimate entry-level recording and production
solution for guitarists, singers and podcasters.
“The CI2+ Production Kit
comes with a quality interface and two great music software applications that
are optimally tailored to each other. It’s simply the perfect out-of-the-box
experience, and that at an unbeatable price.” commented Stefan Schreiber,
product marketing manager at Steinberg.
The CI2+ features USB
connectivity at a 24-bit resolution and a sampling rate of 48 kHz, providing
two microphone inputs with balanced XLR/jack combo connectors, high-quality
microphone preamps and onboard +48V phantom power. Its panel boasts level and
mixing controls alongside transport control buttons and the prominent AI Knob
for adjusting many functions in the software. The dedicated high-impedance
switch for the first channel allows direct connection of electric and bass
guitars.
Cubase AI 6 is based on the same
core technologies as Steinberg’s
Cubase 6 advanced music
production system, offering a comprehensive feature set for composing,
recording, editing and mixing music.
WaveLab LE 7 offers a suite of
audio editing tools, making it the immediate application to record and edit
audio material. With its Internet publishing feature, the online dissemination
via podcast is as easy as it gets.
