Yamaha AUDIOGRAM3 Interface & Steinberg Cubase 6 Bundle

Yamaha AUDIOGRAM3

 USB Audio Interface recording system has been specifically designed to make setting up a computer-based recording environment as simple as possible. Shipped as a complete kit, the Yamaha AUDIOGRAM3 bundles together a USB hardware interface that adds audio inputs and outputs to your computer, software for recording and producing music, and a USB cable for connecting the audio interface. The Yamaha AUDIOGRAM3 turns your Mac or PC into a powerful yet intuitive tool for recording and editing audio from virtually any microphone or audio input device. Setup is as easy as installing the bundled music-production application, Steinberg Cubase AI4, on your computer and connecting the audio interface using the included USB cable. You're then ready to connect virtually any audio source for recording to Cubase AI4: instruments, microphones, CD players, MP3 players, and even old record or casette players.

Steinberg Cubase 6 is your go-to software for recording, editing, mixing and producing music in all its creative forms, as it's bristling with new features and enhancements. Advanced multitrack editing tools, a new take-comping system and a revolutionary approach to MIDI form the center of a next-generation production environment, while the refined new interface gives faster access and more intuitive control than ever before. Inspiring VST3 effects and instruments like VST Amp Rack and LoopMash 2 fuel your creative imagination.

The Cubase 6 provides 64-bit support for Windows and Mac operating systems, enabling a performance boost for using more tracks and bigger sample libraries. A few of the enhancements that round out Cubase 6 are global project compatibility between Cubase 6 derivates, the new time-stretching algorithms and more than two hours of in-depth video tutorials in high-definition quality.

Yamaha AUDIOGRAM3 USB Audio Interface

STREAMLINED AUDIO INTERFACE
With a focus on simplicity and ease-of-use, Yamaha AUDIOGRAM3 delivers a compact audio interface complete with both a mono and stereo input channel. Providing maximum flexibility for recording from almost any audio source, the mono input channel of Yamaha AUDIOGRAM3 features a combo-type connector that can be set for microphone or line level input, while the stereo channel of Yamaha AUDIOGRAM3 has both phone and RCA connectors. Of course, as this interface is USB bus-powered, Yamaha AUDIOGRAM3 needs no external power supply and is an ideal solution for mobile applications.

HIGH-QUALITY MICROPHONE PREAMP
Also supporting microphone-level input, Yamaha AUDIOGRAM3 mono channel features a microphone preamp offering excellent audio quality. And should you want to connect a condenser microphone for higher-quality recordings, this channel can even be phantom powered. Regardless of what type of microphone you choose, however, the professionalmixer technologies integrated into this preamp will deliver perfect recordings every time.

DIRECT CONNECTION OF ELECTRIC GUITARS AND BASSES
With one touch of the MIC/INST select button, you can set the sensitivity of the AUDIOGRAM3 mono channel for direct connection of either microphones or instruments. When set to instrument-level sensitivity, for example, you can directly record electric guitars, basses, and many other input devices. And all audio recorded using either of the MIC/INST settings can then be processed to give professional-sounding results using CUBASE AI's built-in effects.

STEREO CHANNEL FOR PRACTICALLY ALL SOUND INPUT DEVICES
With the AUDIOGRAM3, you also get a stereo input channel with both phone and RCA pin connectors that can be used to conveniently connect not only synthesizers, portable keyboards, and electronic pianos, but also a diversity of other sound sources such as CD players, MD players, portable audio players, and even old record and tape players. Providing maximum flexibility for many different recording situations, the AUDIOGRAM3 even supports simultaneous recording of the instrument or vocal on the mono channel with the audio being input via the stereo channel. For example, you could easily use this feature to record yourself playing along to a CD or MD backing track or singing to a karaoke track created on a portable keyboard.

Steinberg Cubase 6

New Drum editing
Developed in conjunction with recording professionals and top-flight studio drummers, the Cubase 6 raises the bar for multitrack drum editing tasks on all levels. Incorporating an entire new transient and tempo detection, phase stable audio quantization and drum replacement functions, it provides a complete toolset to perfect the rhythm, feel and flavor of live-recorded drum tracks. Whether it's about non-destructively correct timing issues or changing the tempo of a drum performance seamlessly - a tight groove is just a few clicks away.

Based on a state-of-the-art algorithm, the Cubase 6 introduces a straightforward and intelligent transient detection function. Finding all drum hits is a breeze now, with the intuitive preview feature and two specialized filters, called Peak and Beats. With this powerful tool on hand, you can detect single hits, rolls and ghost notes faster and more accurate than ever before. After the transients have been detected they are merged across multiple tracks by taking user definable priority of individual tracks into account. The drumhits are then cut up and grouped together ready for detailed tweaking. In this way, copying that great fill from verse 2 to verse 1 is solved with minimum effort: select one, move them all.

New vst Note Expression
From ultra-realistic instrument sounds to the most unexpected sonic spheres, VST 3.5 and Note Expression enable a whole new creative approach to composition and sound design. And it doesn’t stop here. Use VariAudio together with Note Expression to bring lifeless MIDI recordings to life. With the Extract MIDI feature inside the Sample Editor you can make snapshots of the pitch and volume curves of monophonic audio recordings and paste that information into MIDI notes!

When using VST 3.5-compatible instruments, you get instant acoustic feedback from parts that contain dynamics. What's more, the Dynamics Mapping feature allows very fine adjustments for up to three controllers for dynamics, including velocity, volume and freely assignable MIDI CC.
