Echo Gina3G Audio Interface

Gina3G is the third generation of our budget priced, professional quality digital audio recorder. The original Gina premiered seven years ago to critical acclaim and since then we've been perfecting the art of making high quality recording products at affordable prices. The new Gina3G brings you the best features of Gina24, but with better converters, dual mic preamps, and MIDI for less!!

Gina3G is perfect for the budget-minded musician who wants to get into digital recording without sacrificing quality for price. You won't need a mixer or studio monitors to get started here. Gina3G has all you need: 2 universal inputs with mic preamps, 6 balanced analog outputs, and a headphone output. ADAT lightpipe, optical and coaxial S/PDIF, and MIDI are included as well; so as your studio grows, Gina3G will be able to work with all your new gear. It comes with a 8' cable and PCI card that connects to the audio interface. Gina3G is compatible with PCI-X (3.3 or 5 volt) motherboards and Power Mac G5 computers, as well as older systems.

FREE SOFTWARE INCLUDED! Tracktion, hailed as the easiest to use professional recording and MIDI production software, is a radical new type of music production software - giving you a clean, intuitive, and clutter-free interface without losing professional features like drag-and-drop editing, a built-in sampler, VST plug-in support, track freezing and more... all right at your fingertips.

REVIEW:

The card sounds great! - PC Recording
"This card features a powerful software interface that makes multi-tracking easy and enables multi-client capability. No latency monitoring is possible through the onboard headphone jacks on the breakout box. The addition of both S/PDIF and Optical inputs is another strong feature. TRS connections round out the robust hardware of this card. Driver support is excellent... The card sounds great, at the top of the prosumer class of recording soundcards."
