What is FlashTrack and the difference between ISOLO

FlashTrack DSP microphone is an integrated product designed by Cloudvocal specifically for instrument recording and live streaming. Apart from featuring a studio-grade large diaphragm condenser microphone, it also integrates recording interface functionality. It can directly connect to smartphones, tablets, and laptops via USB-C for seamless recording and live streaming. 

What sets it apart from regular USB microphones is the built-in high-performance digital signal processor (DSP) in FlashTrack. Through control buttons on the panel, users can instantly adjust EQ, add reverb effects, and manipulate compression.

Despite these seemingly complex functions. There are built-in presets that allow user to quickly adjust based on the instrument type, playing style, and tonal requirements. For advanced users, there are custom modes available for fine-tuning various parameters, enabling the creation of unique sounds. 

Furthermore, employing IR technology, we sampled ribbon and dynamic microphones in professional recording studios. This allows FlashTrack to simulate the frequency responses of different microphones in real-time, replicating the sound of ribbon microphones from jazz records and the dynamic microphone sound heard on radio broadcasts, enhancing the listening experience of your performances or podcasts.

Yes. Besides using the familiar 3.5mm audio cable for inputting accompaniments, FlashTrack also supports Bluetooth wireless transmission, providing more flexibility for inputting accompaniments.
