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.

Customer tech support from this company is very bad, there's no phone number to call, they might answer and an e-mail, but that's about it. I've just recently gotten a new tower and I'm having bad latency problems and there's no one to go to for help. I'm never buying anything from Avid again !!!

Versatility for Your Buck

| Review By: Ryan Wilson | 8 months, 3 weeks ago

1 people out of 2 found this review helpful

Features:

I can be a perfectionist, therefore I wanted to get something higher quality (ie Apogee Duet 2) cause I saw a guy who had that setup and thought it would be cool, however I am happy i did not because this platform is much more versatile than the simplistic Duet. I am running logic/mainstage through it and happy to find that I can set a midi foot controller through it as well as having multiple monitors for live looping/playing (setting a metrenome through outputs 3-4). It would be nice to have some more inputs/outputs, but I don't think I'll need them for now.

Quality:

It isn't super crisp like a higher end interface might be, but i guess that's why more expensive ones are more expensive

Value:

So far so good. You can really do a lot with this interface

Overall:

Like I said in the above, this has been a good product for the money and would recommend it for anyone looking to get into recording. It will power your mics and give your recordings presence.
