Steinberg Ur 242 Soundcard

Steinberg Ur 242 Soundcard

The UR242 is a great tool when out on location because its light, compact and will survive the rough and tumble of always being on the move. The obvious choice is to plug your interface into the USB port of your laptop and run your session off there, but these recording can be made even lighter and simpler. If you really want to get set up recording on the move, the UR242 has been designed so that it can connect seamlessly to an iPAD where you can record to Steinberg’s Cubasis App or any recording app of your choice. In addition to your ipad, all you will need is Apple’s camera connection kit, which allows you to connect your ipad through the USB cable.
