Steinberg CI2+, Advanced USB Audio Interface
Leading the CI series of interface controllers, the CI2+ USB-powered
studio comes with its dedicated Cubase Essential 5 audio workstation.
The holistic approach that Steinberg provides in form of its Advanced
Integration technology allows this smart system to easily assist
entry-level to professional musicians and producers with recording and
producing music in first-class quality.
Singer/Songwriter
CI2+ and Cubase Essential 5 present the ideal
tool kit for singers and songwriters looking to record vocal lines,
preparing playbacks and creating entire songs. The +48 V phantom power
of the CI2+’s two high-quality mic preamps provide all capabilities
necessary to connect any microphone for recording vocal tracks
Cubase Essential 5 offers virtual instruments and
sounds for creating professional-sounding accompaniments, such as
playback for vocal exercises or even an entire demo. Various effect
plug-ins for editing vocals are readily available and easy to control
with the CI2+’s AI Knob. The CI2+’s interface comes with a footswitch
connector enabling hands-free recording in Cubase Essential 5. Here
you have the choice between 14 different amp and 10 speaker cabinet
emulations thanks to the AmpSimulator.
Guitar and Bass Players
Guitarists benefit a great deal from CI2+ and
Cubase Essential 5. The HI-Z input on the CI2+ is best suited for the
guitar’s characteristics, letting you plug an electric guitar or bass
directly into the CI2+. The great-sounding AmpSimulator of Cubase
Essential 5 provides different amp and speaker cabinet emulations and,
together with the ToneBooster, fans of hard and heavy styles will find
plenty of quality sounds to work with. One of the outstanding features
provided by CI2+ and Cubase Essential 5 is the Interactive Recording
mode, giving you the absolute freedom to record a performance
hands-free.
Electronic Music Producer
With CI2+ and Cubase Essential 5 combined into a
single system, producers of electronic music will need to look no
further for the perfect production kit. In Cubase Essential 5, the
Arranger function allows for defining different segments of the song and
playing them back in any order — a great tool for those live electronic
performances. With the Beat designer it has never been easier to get
interactive with different grooves and variations. There’s also the
HALion ONE sampler player and the polyphonic subtractive synthesizer
Prologue covering a wide range of sounds from which each producer is
glad to draw. And with the great control functionality of the CI2+
editing audio material and adjusting parameters has never been easier.
Cubase Owner
CI2+ is, simply put, the ideal low-cost hardware
for any Cubase owner who needs to record vocals, instruments, keyboards,
percussion or any other audio source and also wants to edit any project
easily. The Advanced Integration technology used by CI2+ and Cubase
alike provides a vast amount of functional enhancements not found in any
other USB audio hardware. With Interactive Recording Cubase you are now
able to control basic Cubase functions with the tap of a foot so that
both hands are free to perform impeccable music. The additional
transport functionality and the AI knob is indispensable for any Cubase
user wanting to improve his workflow.
