Join the Digital Recording Revolution!

The Roland Studio Package Pro gives musicians everything they need to record and mix music on a Mac or PC. It includes a hardware control surface with eight 24-bit/96kHz audio inputs and outputs (SI-24), a PCI audio card (RPC-1), and powerful Logic RPC Pro sequencing and recording software from Emagic and SONAR multitrack recording software from Cakewalk. These unbeatable combination make it possible to record and mix music on a computer, but with the added convenience of a real hardware mixer capable of controlling many of Logic's and SONAR's functions. And it's surprisingly affordable, so there's never been a better time to enter the world of computer-based recording.

24-bit/96kHz Recording with Hardware Control

Thanks to the SI-24 Studio Interface, Studio Package Pro users can record up to eight tracks of 24-bit audio simultaneously into a Mac or PC. Not just a mixing surface, but a high-quality audio interface, the SI-24 is equipped with eight XLR Mic inputs (switchable to TRS inputs), plus a Hi-Z input for recording guitar. All of these inputs are sent to the computer via a single R-BUS cable, which connects to the supplied RPC-1 R-BUS Interface Card. And with 13 motorized faders, recording and mixing has never been more intuitive.

Logic RPC Pro Software

Emagic's Logic series has earned a reputation among professionals as one of the best sequencing/recording programs for Mac and PC. The Studio Package Pro now includes Logic RPC Pro, an even more powerful version of this special edition software. Aside from 24-bit/96kHz recording, Logic RPC Pro includes surround mixing, level and pan automation, a host of killer plug-ins, and much more. And thanks to the SI-24, you can control many of Logic's mixer functions-including track level and panning, EQ, send levels and more-using real faders and knobs.
