For the UR22mkII, Steinberg's crack team of audio and driver software developers engineered an I/O implementation that gives you both stability and flexibility, with drivers that support ASIO, Core Audio, and WDM standards. This means you can connect to all DAWs that support any of these universal standards. What's more, the UR22mkII features CC Mode, which enables it to easily connect to your iPad and work with a broad range of iOS audio apps.

The UR22mkII includes Cubase AI, a streamlined version of Steinberg's world-class Mac/Windows production environment. On the road? Download Cubasis LE from the App Store for an enticing palette of recording and mixing features optimized for touchscreen operation on your iPad. Especially cool is the fact that Cubase can open Cubasis LE projects, so you can quickly capture your musical ideas on your iPad, then transfer them to Cubase for further development in your studio. With this degree of flexibility, you can take projects from concept to mastered album - all with one compact and cost-effective piece of hardware. The first-generation UR22 was a hit here at Sweetwater, but the UR22mkII ups the ante, big time!
