Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "The Traveler is an incredible breakthrough for anyone who wants a high quality mobile recording set-up that is easy to use, extremely powerful, and fits in your laptop case. 4 great mics pres and no extra wall wart or power supply. Many of my customers see it as the best portable solution available on the planet."
Mark Thompson
  "Musicians shouldn't have to come to me. The Traveler takes the front end of my pro studio to them. Minutes later we're recording at up to 24/192. Four discrete monitor mixes, 20x22 I/O, and four preamp's: one box! At the center without being the center of attention: that's a good producer with a Traveler!" "
