Edirol UA700 24/96 USB Audio Interface with Modeling
No longer available at zZounds
Roland?s COSM technology. Low latency.
24Bit 96kHz USB Digital Audio Interface with COSM Technology
A breakthrough USB AUDIO Interface with preamps for guitarists and vocalists with high-quality Mic/Guitar-Amp modeling effects. They almost called it "The Everything Box" because that's just about what it has. The UA-700 combines a high resolution USB audio interface with a built-in effects processor and MIDI Interface into one home studio recording powerhouse. Plus, it has the power of COSM- Composite Object Sound Modeling... so you can tweak that mic to be just the way you want it. It even works as a standalone effects processor. Be careful- if you get your hands on it, you'll be hooked!

"Well thought of machine"
Excellent drivers. Roland has always been good for that. An overall nice writing tool. Coupled with a good computer software like Cubase SX the sky is the limit
Sound
The sound of the product is excellent. The COSM modeling for some reason sounds better than the COSM modeling on a VS studio card. Microphone pre amps and modeling is excellent as well.
Features
Anyone who has owned a VS studio will love this thing. It basically gives you all the advantages of the VS studio and allows you to bring those features to your laptop. There is also a software on the net which allows you to tweak you settings even more and with the aid of a large computer screeen.
Quality
The knobs and components are A-1. The build quality is somewhat remeniscent of older machines.
Value
Once you learn the features and how it works it will blow you away. however. The price is steep initially. I'm kind of sold on it though and believe it is worth the price because you need nothing else.
Manufacturer Support
Sort of Non applicable since I haven't had to phone. However the web site supplies everything you need and is up to date
Musical Style:
Folk pop
