Tapco Link.Firewire Audio Recording Interface
Review by: Steve

Price: $210 Canadian
Introduction:
A while back we looked at the Link.USB audio recording interface from Tapco. This was an excellent interface for small recording projects or someone just getting into the hobby. It had some great features, a full version of Mackie's Tracktion recording software was included and also a price tag much lower than most competitors in the field. Although today's product we're reviewing may look the same visually, it really isn't even close. Tapco has taken the Link.USB and added and improved on many of it's features and now released the Link.Firewire.
