    So I'm shocked these opinions rather good while c pa at all a sound card profesionelle

    What has motivated my choice? jtai young in sound and ji connaisait anything now yes I'm technician studio and I become v ing sound by some months.

    USE

    Configuration is very simple and even too simple. The latency is too large ca 11 ms fears

    The preamps are incredible too bad c i rode a Classic 2 (exelent micro) and a 3D Prodipe STC (good microphone) c with two mic you turn up the gain and PAF we realize ke is an incredible noise floor the problem? the preamps of the fasttrack are too cheap amount gain it no longer follow ca creates too much background noise.

    (C instruments scandal)

    (C instruments scandal)

    IMPLEMENTATION

    11 ms latency The quality of the converter leaves a desire .. Then by recording rapper jme've realized a huge loss of quality of a recording with this sound card. Jai record the same rapper in the same studio with the same mic in the same place but with a Digi 003 (which is pro amateur range has therefore not bad) ben the diference incredible etai

    Result: Fast Track: Voice lifeless, no clarity, noise. Wholesale AC but really feared
    digi 003: Result satisfesant and very very reasonable noise

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    In the end if you bought a cheap sound card for sound mop and too bad the quality the fast track very well done ca

    if his vows voulai a pro ben map to see BTW.

    So here I am disappointed to have to buy this card but it fai year and a half now I know in mid ca sound card "professional" c in 4000euro min

    with a sound card is 250 euro your sound that sounds 250euro
    with a sound card is 4000 euro ta ki ringing sound 4000euro

    this has more people and good sound

    Very bad driver

    UTILIZATION

    GETTING STARTED

    OVERALL OPINION

    I pass the technical details that are developed below in other reviews.

    The fact is that the driver of this card is very poorly coded:
    - No support for the computer to sleep (known problem of m-audio processing problem: no)
    - Crash with blue screen restart windows.
    - Regular mute, especially since the last update. Card unusable on some systems.

    Very poor support of the brand, in fact non-existent today as m-audio was bought except for the range "Fast Track". Buyers do not make mistakes, they are bad products they did not want to give up.

    The good price / quality ratio I was motivated a priori.

    I use it mainly with reaper 4, and for the office (powerpoint, vlc ...)

    UTILIZATION

    So this is where I have problems on issues. I installed this on a fast track pavillion laptop windows xp SP2, and I have some bugs: the sound stops after a while (totally random). Sometimes I get to have sound for almost an hour, sometimes it off after one minute. I have not managed to identify the problem. Maybe it's that reaper stuck, I do not know.
    I of course reported the concern of the English forum of M-Audio. No response.
    I tried on the French forum: I wonder how many are 9-3, I hit 6 and I am told that my answer is incorrect. …

    I wanted to join M-Audio, but you pay 15 euros to get them online!
    I said that the price depends on the product: for example, to talk to an Avid Media Composer problem, you have to pay 200 euros!
    I tried reinstalling the fast track to another machine with a freshly installed windows (past week) and once again!

    GETTING STARTED

    Ah yes, the installation is done with problems! I put on my computer the installation CD that came with the fasttrack and a window opens explaining that an error 6003 (I think) and I can not install the machine. I am therefore obliged to find the driver on the site.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've used several sound cards before it, including an m-audio Ozonic that I had not been asked so many problems.

    With this experience I never do it again of course this choice.

    UTILIZATION

    The drivers are stable?
    No on-seven64, correct on XP Pro

    What software do you use most often?
    - Before cubase5
    - Now Protools M-Powered 8.0.5 + a max of rtas

    How many tracks do you manage to record / play simultaneously? ...
    - In recording two ... (not really short enough) Audio, 16 South
    - Read ... found no limits

    How often are updated?
    - Ahahaha .... we shall call the press when it happens!

    What you get lag?
    - Cubase 9ms
    - Pro tools ... not much.

    GETTING STARTED

    The installation is done it without problem?
    - Since I spent seven + pro tools .... a galley nameless! and yet I am a computer and I do computer music since 1988 (Atari ST, cubase 2.6! any one time) ...

    The general configuration is easy?
    The conf-in driver, yes, the conf ... to solve problems .. there's oula through hair pulling.

    Have you encountered any incompatibilities?
    - Concerns have begun on XP with Cubase 5 and never end with protools on seven.

    The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
    -Overall, do not complain.

    OVERALL OPINION

    How long you use it?
    - 3/4 years

    Did you tried many other models before buying it?
    -Some or too expensive (Digidesign 003) or disappointing (EMU0404) ... etc.

    What is so special that you love the most, least?
    -An external enclosure, it is very practical but this model to large concerns for reliability.

    How would you rate the quality / price?
    - By the time I bought it, there was no picture, now, go your way.

    With experience, you do again this choice? ...
    -Oh no!

    Now, let me explain:
    I started having problems with his shrivelling and entries on XP glutted with cubase ... but not all the time.
    I usually managed to find a parade downgradant drivers.

    Arrived in seven, that's complicated. With cubase, recording session was inoperable when in administrator user session, it would look ... wrong. According to my logic, it would surely be of the opposite, but nevermind.

    I have acquired pro-tools m-powered so you can work with my guitar to it on mac with pro tools.
    At first, no problem, sometimes the problem of its saturated entry returned but disappeared after a reboot.
    Then it started to affect the reading too, but only with pro tools (and also cubase) until the day when it no longer has stopped ...

    I've scoured the forums and found the solution, it is unlikely but true .....
    Problem of compatibility with IDE hard drives ..
    When I changed my machine, I have kept for archiving my old IDE hard drives .... they were in conflict with IRQ the sound card. Without touching anything in the config software and disconnecting IDE drives ... no problem!

    I have a DJ scratcher in my group who bought this card 15 days ago to be able to join us on pro tools ... he screams to death! the sound is crackling reading and saturated recording ... it is unusable!
    He has a mac book pro ...

    I have to buy hardware that's why I still preserves but as soon as I can, it gives off!

    This product does not deserve the 4 star average. the interface is functional, the sound is correct (in part due to a PSU well filtered and good headphone amp) but is not compatible asio and suffers from a case which indicates unshielded more breath and nuisance .

    I do this REFERRED choit (which I had also not done) because I think it's not very pro gear and there is a stain on the records. c toc!
