The 01V96i features USB 2.0 connectivity that allows you to multi-track record 16 in/16 out, with audio streaming at 
96kHz/24bit, using Steinberg's Cubase AI bundled DAW software. This chapter will show the simplest method to create 
your audio production with the 01V96i and a computer.

Tips: 

For the Hard Disk Drive, It is strongly recommended to use one with a speed of 7200rpm or faster for recording and 

playback. 

With regard to disk storage, allow 500MB per hour for each mono track at an audio quality of 48 kHz 24-bit. Or 1GB per 
hour at 96 kHz 24-bit.  So for example, 32GB will be able to record 16 tracks at 96 kHz for 2 hours.
