[NAMM] Alesis Tapelink USB Digital Deck

This dual-cassette deck is designed to enable musicians to store their irreplaceable recordings on hard disk or flash, burn them to CD or take them on the go on their iPod. Musicians can clean up their old tape recordings of band rehearsals, performances, demos, jam sessions and song ideas.

TapeLink USB is a dubbing and playback deck that connects directly to a computer via USB. The plug-and-play USB-audio interface requires no drivers for use with most computers. TapeLink USB’s CD-quality 16-bit, 44.1 kHz audio output captures tape recordings for secure digital archival.

TapeLink USB works with metal and CrO2 tapes and contains an LED level-meter for visual level reference.

TapeLink USB comes with a software suite containing three applications. EZ Tape Converter is designed to make transfer simple and convenient, Audacity audio-editing software enables musicians to edit their audio files once they’ve been transferred and BIAS SoundSoap professional noise-reduction software removes hiss, room noise, rumble, hum and other background noise.

TapeLink USB is available now from musical instrument and pro audio retailers at an MSRP of $299.99 and an estimated street price of $199.99.
