Roland UA-1010 Octa-Capture USB Audio Interface

Full Description

Eight premium mic preamps

The Roland UA-1010 Octa-Capture comes with eight high-grade, digitally controlled mic preamps (VS PREAMPS) built with top-quality components. Each of the eight XLR inputs features independent phantom power, low-cut filter, phase invert, and digital compression, offering precise control and superb sound quality. These preamps ensure that every recording captures the nuances of your performance with clarity and detail.

Auto input level adjustment

Setting the perfect recording level is made effortless with the AUTO-SENS feature. Simply press a button, play your connected instruments, and the Octa-Capture automatically adjusts to the ideal recording level for each input. This feature is especially useful for quick, reliable audio capture when recording complex setups, such as fully mic'd drum kits or entire bands.

The AUTO-SENS function takes the guesswork out of level setting, ensuring that you get the best possible sound without distortion or clipping. This is particularly beneficial in live recording situations where time is of the essence, allowing you to focus on the performance rather than the technical details.

Low-latency driver

Experience outstanding stability and low-latency performance with Roland's proprietary VS STREAMING technology. The Octa-Capture supports all current Mac and PC DAW platforms through ASIO 2.0/WDM (Windows) and Core Audio (Mac) drivers. This technology allows you to use multiple devices on the same USB bus without compromising on performance or audio quality, ensuring seamless integration into your existing setup.

Perfect for tracking, overdubbing, or mixing, the low-latency driver ensures that you hear your audio in real-time, making it easier to perform and record with precision. This feature is crucial for maintaining the timing and feel of your recordings, providing a smooth and responsive user experience.

Four flexible monitor mixes

The Octa-Capture features four independent Direct Mixers for creating software-controlled monitor mixes. Each mix can be routed to any of the analog outputs and takes advantage of internal 40-bit DSP processing. This flexibility is perfect for sending custom monitor mixes to headphones, speakers, or recording devices, providing a tailored listening experience for any recording situation.

With the ability to create separate mixes for each performer, you can ensure that everyone hears exactly what they need to deliver their best performance. The Direct Mixers make it easy to adjust levels and routing on the fly, giving you complete control over your monitoring setup.

Compact and portable design

The Roland UA-1010 Octa-Capture is designed to be a powerful yet portable solution for your audio production needs. Its compact size makes it easy to transport, whether you're recording in a studio, at a live venue, or on the go. Despite its small footprint, the Octa-Capture doesn't compromise on features or performance, offering a comprehensive set of I/O options and professional-grade sound quality. The rugged construction ensures durability, while the intuitive interface makes it easy to set up and start recording right away.
