While Guitar Tracks Pro 4 comes with the UA-1G interface, it also supports other audio interfaces. In fact there are two versions of Guitar Tracks Pro 4, one with just the software and the one I am working with that comes with the UA-1G audio interface. There is an extensive list of audio cards on the Cakewalk site.
Also included is a set of 12 studio-quality effects. These include Classic Phaser, Modfilter, Chorus/Flanger, Tempo Delay, Bit Decimator, Studioverb, HF Exciter, Compressor/Gate and more. You can use them while you record or wait till later in the mixing phase. You also get the Boost 11 limiter/maximize to give you more volume and punch with your final mix.
Finally, in the USB version, you get the Cakewalk UA-1G USB audio interface. This provides you with a complete recording solution for working with a guitar or microphone. It is very compact as well as portable. It comes with a ¼ " guitar input and is optimized for recording your guitar work. It has high quality converters and super-low latency to make sure you are getting the best sound possible.
It also has stereo input and output at up to 24-bit/96kHz audio quality, large input level knob for easy control while recording. You can record electric guitar or bass. It also comes with an Electret condenser mic input for vocals and other instruments and a headphone output with direct monitoring ability.
