Focusrite iTrack Dock Interface for iPad and iPad Mini

The Focusrite iTrack Dock wasn't the first iPad audio interface on the market but that meant that Focusrite had time to learn from the mistakes made by others and really nail what we think is probably the best mobile recording interface on the market! Firstly it works with ALL lightning equipped iOS devices, including both iPad and iPad Mini! Then (and perhaps most importantly) there's the two legendary Focusrite pre-amps which offer noise free recording with great character and clarity. There's even a USB MIDI in for use with modern MIDI controllers that connect via USB.

If you've been looking for a way to simplify your recording process maybe it's time to ditch the computer completely and enjoy the intuitive touch controlled nature of the iPad!

Here's what Focusrite say about the iTrack Dock

iTrack Dock is a comprehensive yet easy-to-use, studio-quality iPad recording interface that acts as the hub of your Lightning iPad recording studio. Featuring two legendary Focusrite microphone preamps, along with two line inputs and an instrument DI with plenty of extra headroom, stereo monitor outputs with 105dB dynamic range plus independently-controlled headphone outputs, and a USB port for class compliant MIDI instruments and controllers, iTrack Dock gives you everything you need to record, monitor and control music on your iPad (not included) – with precision Focusrite digital conversion at up to 24-bit, 96kHz sampling. And at the same time it charges and powers your iPad.
