The MultiMix Firewire Mixer can send up to 8 tracks of audio simultaneously to your computer, allowing you to have discrete audio tracks to mix in your Cubase LE software.

The Alesis Podcasting kit also comes with 30 days of free podcast hosting on www.alesispodcast.com. This provides the novice, as well as professional, podcaster an easy-to-use solution for hosting and promoting podcasts. During your 30 day free trail you can post up to 500Mb of Podcast episodes with unlimited bandwidth!

Upload your Podcast at AlesisPodcast.com

The Alesis Podcasting Center also makes it easy to upload and promote your podcasts. No tricky third party software to embed your XML files. Just register and upload your MP3's. As the file uploads to the server it will automatically aggregate the file out to the web (iTunes, Podcast Alley, web search engines, etc.) so everyone will know about your new show.
