M-Audio

A compact and intuitive interface for your computer-based recording studio.

The M-Audio Fast Track Pro Mobile USB Audio/MIDI Interface is loaded with professional features for optimal mobile recording flexibility. You get 2 front-panel mic/line inputs complete with phantom power for condenser microphones, inserts for outboard effects, balanced and unbalanced analog outputs, S/PDIF digital I/O, MIDI I/O, and more.

The M-Audio Fast Track Pro also offers near-zero latency direct hardware monitoring and low-latency ASIO software monitoring, plus an A/B source switch and dual output pairs for DJ-style cueing. Compatible with most popular PC and Mac music software, the Fast Track interface's USB connection and bus power along with class compliancy for Mac OS X* make it a breeze to set up.

Professional Recording—Anywhere, Anytime
With the M-Audio Fast Track Pro, you'll get professional results whenever and wherever you want to record. A single USB connection gives you access to all the I/O you need for microphones and instruments like guitars, as well as MIDI- and S/PDIF-equipped digital audio gear. The microphone inputs are even phantom powered to accommodate studio-quality condenser microphones. M-Audio's acclaimed driver software gives you total routing control over the 4 x 4 I/O—including setting up an effects loop with external devices.

Monitoring Flexibility
The M-Audio Fast Track Pro audio interface also has a powerful headphone amplifier with volume control. Hardware direct monitoring eliminates the latency or delay inherent in even the best internal circuitry while listening to your input and existing tracks. You can also listen to your input complete with effects while recording by using the low-latency ASIO monitoring. Connect to a DJ mixer with the 2 pairs of analog outputs and use the front-panel A/B source switch to audition cues.

Ableton Live Lite

Works Well-Great Value

| Review By: Paul Villanueva | 2 months, 3 weeks ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

I gave it a nine instead of a ten only because one cannot control the rear output(s) volume seperately.  I had a PreSonus Firebox before it blew up and with it I could control the volume of my main studio monitors seperate from the volume (from the rear, not the headphone jack) to my headphone amp so I could run six headphones from the mix.

 

This is not a huge deal.  I can "adjust" the headphone amp volume to make up the difference, but it was nice being able to set a level and leave it there without having to adjust the mains to compensate.

Quality:

Quality:  I gave it an eight instead of a ten only because it is made of plastic.  However, the quality (sturdiness, dependability, etc) is excellent. Again, I went from a PreSonus FireBox that was in a metal casing with metal knobs, and it was heavey and sturdy (it also blew up on me after three years, so that is the quality there).  The M-Audio is plastic, but I realize that if it were metel, it would cost $400-$500.  It is sturdy, but it is plastic, and with that comes more careful handling.

Value:

You cannot beat this value!  For the money, you get a full studio capable box and record up to four folks at a time.  This has great outputs and sound and with plenty of features.  This product is well worth the money.  I would buy this one again.

Overall:

This product performs well, sounds great, and was a snap to set up on my MAC based Logic Studio.  It comes with some outputs I do not use, but in general, it has everything one might need to run a home studio or a portable studio.

 

It is made of plastic, not metal, so some caution must be taken in handling.  However, the product is sturdy and built well.

 

The only thing that did not please me was the lack of seperate volume controls for the rear outputs, but one can compensate by using a headphone amp plugged into one of the rear outputs and then using the amp to control the volume of the phones.  This has nothing to do with the front headphone jack, which does have a seperate volume control.  I just like using the rear outputs.

 

I use it to record a pre-recorded blog talk Internet radio show, and it performs like a champ.  The set up was simple, and I use it on my MAC. The product's control panel (where you can select what outputs to use and what bit rate, etc.) will be placed in your MAC "System Preferences". Remember that!  I installed the drivers and then I could not find the control panel anywhere.  I read the instructions again, and found it in System Preferences.

 

The driver CD that comes with the product will be dated.  However, it was a snap to go online, click on your product, and download the current and latest drivers for your unit.

 

I reccommend this product for the value.

Good unit, Bad drivers

The Bottom line is this is a good piece of hardware, but software sucks. The main issue is VIRTUAL ASIO drivers. This unit will only channel through one Virtual ASIO driver (ASIO4ALL interferes with it), and anything else that uses ASIO (web cams, Winamp, online video), upon opening your recording software get ready for all the ASIO problems you'll encounter. Restarting your computer even Reloading the software is common with this product. Check out E-MU, they use a application called "DSP" so you'll have Virtual ASIO channels.

Very good, but still has room for improvement

Overall:
I've owned this for about 7 months, I've been using mainly to records electric guitars, either line or with Mic. I'm using Logic as my DAW. The goods: The sound is good. The latency is low as long as you use a small buffer and little-to-no plugins during recording. And it's very easy to setup. The bads/could-be-betters: -The preamps lack gain!! only 40dB!! if you're planning on recording mic'd guitar amps without setting the amp at extreme volume, you'll lack gain. -It doesn't support Sleep Mode in Mac, if you do sleep, the sound card will crash and you need to restart it. Not a big deal, but annoying... -It advertises it's Max sample rate at 96 KHz, but that's using only outputs OR inputs, not both. You'll work at 48. But let's be honest; if you spend only $200 in a sound card, then nobody will notice the difference between 48 and 96 KHz... Still it's very cheap and very useful, and a good value, as it does its job very well. If you desperately need to make decent recordings without using funky cell phone or laptop mics, this is it!!

This is my first audio interface. I think its okay. My sounds are clean and compressed and sound good as long as i dont use distortion from my amp. I dont know if there are any better for the price but this beats lexicons and tascams and usb mixers. I think you could be happy with this. It does all its supposed to do very well and everyone says at all the local music shops that its the best quality. so go for it!
