SoundTech LightSnake USB Intelligent Instrument Cable

"Sound Card in a Cable" Simplifies Digital Audio Recording
SoundTech Professional Audio, a division of US Music Corporation, announced today the release of LightSnake, an intelligent instrument-to-PC cable with embedded analog to digital converter and signal booster. The LightSnake USB's unique design enables anyone to plug their guitar, bass, keyboard or other electronic instrument directly into a PC eliminating the hassle, clutter and learning curve associated with high-quality digital recording. The LightSnake USB intelligent instrument cable previewed at the National Association of Music Merchants 2006 (NAMM) show and won "Best in Show" honors from an independent panel of industry experts for its ability to provide a streamlined, cost effective solution for analog to digital recording. NAMM is the single most important event in the music merchant industry. With over 80,000 registrants in 2006, NAMM brings out the best and latest innovations in instruments, and performance enabling gear and accessories.

"The LightSnake USB was designed to enable anyone to enjoy digital recording," said Larry English, senior vice president of business development at US Music Corp. "Using the LightSnake, setting up and recording high-quality digital music is as simple as plugging a guitar into an amplifier." Modern Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software such as Apple GarageBand and Sony Acid Music Studio harness the power of PCs allowing musicians to record, layer and mix their own musical creations. The LightSnake USB provides the easiest method for musicians to connect their instrument to their computer for recording by simply plugging the 1/4" tip of the LightSnake in to the instrument and the USB end to a PC.
