Time
Time to mess with all the technical stuff.But creativity needs boundaries
In an unlimited space there is no need to be creative, as all destinations can be reached with just some knowledge and craftsmanship.The ALVA designers decided to try another way: Sensible downsizing.The Nanoface is designed as partner of modern digital audio workstations
There are no software option dialogs or an integrated mixer
Just a high-speed driver
All modern audio programs provide a low latency engine, an integrated mixer with plug-in support and monitoring features
They emulate a complete studio workflow
Some audio interfaces try to do the same and thus doubling not only the features, but also the time to mess with them.The Nanoface is different
All features can be controlled with ONE multi controller
Directly on the unit
In combination with an audio sequencer this is what most all musicians need
No more
No less
If you want to use a mixer, with sends, busses and effects it s already in your DAW software.Analog I/OsThe Nanoface provides 6 audio I/Os enough for a small home studio, a DJ- or surround setup

Four analog inputs two of them equipped with high-quality mic preamps - allow the simultaneously recording of different sources at the same time, like a microphone, an electric guitar and a synthesizer
Four analog outputs provide a flexible setup for monitoring two stereo signals at the same time, e

with main speakers and headphones

This makes the Nanoface the perfect partner for a digital signal from a CD player, or an effect unit as
