    Very happy

    The number of inputs / outputs, the possibilities of routing, integrated dsp
    Use for recording voice / guitar / accordion and composition in a home studio.

    UTILIZATION

    Composition in FruityLoops / AbletonLive.
    With a master keyboard, accordion / guitar / vocals, and a box of externalities. I put a few hours to develop the routing to send a send to my mailbox from external effects software. But once configured it works very well.
    A little disappointed for the "DSP" which only serves to add effects for listening. No use for virtual instruments or other ... Damage. But good for the price, I'm still very happy.

    I have not tried to record more than one track at the same time, but I'm not a war machine either.

    GETTING STARTED

    No worries for installation in Windows7, recovering the prior maudio driver on the site.

    The routing is fairly simple to perform through the interface once you have understood.

    That plant from time to time, but I simply turn off / turn on the interface and here we go!

    OVERALL OPINION

    For 1 month.
    I am happy with my purchase, I wanted a robust and open interface in terms of inputs / outputs and routing. It meets my needs.
    Very good quality / price ratio I think.

    A serious competitor of the Presonus Fire Wire with the advantage of 10 entries
    but the obsolescence of 1394.

    GETTING STARTED

    The installation was no problem. The configuration of Be to Ba, we find the settings for Fast Tracks, simple. Comprehensive manual and no incompatibility with the software, except some "Light" in the trial.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have been using for over a year, I have many interfaces and it is a revelation in quality and reliability, excellent preamps, a number of entries and exits as a generous R16, an unbeatable value for money I think, particularly good opportunity, but why separate them? If perhaps coming a USB 3.0 and again.
    This is an obvious choice.

    GETTING STARTED

    The only slight worry at the driver encountered occurred when I wanted o switch on the power for the micro fantme I accidentally cuts power to the card instead of activating the 48 volts the reflexes of my old stuff (Alesis I / O 14). I have simply reinstalled the driver for it to work, but now can not resume me more!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for some days, and frankly I am totally satisfied. The converters are of good quality. In addition to converting audio tracks noon, I testing voice recordings, bass and acoustic guitar, and frankly, the record is clear, with good prsence.

    In conclusion, I think the report is qualitprix is ​​good. Compared with the Alesis i / o 14 which is not at the same rate prs, y no photos, if c'tait again, I do it again! I wait to install Pro Tools M-Powered and I confirm or correct that view, but even the enthusiasm is required!

    Tlcharger the last driver on the site of M-audio, application launch, next, next, next, install, and ended! What a relief!

    Manual in French. ca be said.

    I put 10 to reassure those who still hsitent following tmoignages ngatifs

    GETTING STARTED

    Driver is all stable, no problem of non-recognition of the card or anything at all ... you just turn on the Fast Track Ultra before opening Live 7.

    The software interface is quite intuitive
    The default rglages give an imperceptible latency for what I did (Virtual Guitar Amp +, Voice, synths controlled by midi keyboard)

    I put 9 because it's never perfect, and that I would be more well liked rglages in hardware .. but hey, it's a dtail and 9 / 10, when same is a great dj good note.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had one week, and it is THE FIRST j'achte sound card, so the level down, it was better. I will update this review if any problem appears, but for now is that of happiness!

    The sound is really clear, no breath, nothing at all, it is very enjoyable. on the other hand I have to Tonn t turn up the gain to 3 / 4 when using a microphone .. But it may be that my microphone is a bit feeble, I know. Like any event, does not add noise, not a problem ..
    Quality price ratio INTERESTED: I pay 314 new. And I did not find interface complte also in this price range ..

    With my exprience a week, I would do without hsiter this choice!

    RPET I still here I had no problem of driver / of instability / non-recognition of the card by windows.
    Voil. I emphasize this because it's to say what I wanted to post an opinion.

    I tonn ngatifs comments on forums and below. It's either pass or they are configs of shit, or they are mucking around with them KKS.

    I do not know the quality of internal components and my comment does not prsume the durability of the machine.

    GETTING STARTED

    No problem with the latest drivers that are really stable. The sound is okay, but not to transparent plutt the quality of a Motu MK3 tries in comparison (less than dtails and dynamic).

    Latency is not his strong (9ms to me, if I want to avoid the slightest click but not teachers).

    The pickups are pramplis trs good, quiet and neutral. against by the level of headphone amplifiers is very feeble, can not use simultaneously with costs on monitors or in a noisy environment. A headphone is essential closed (which is the case in gnralement recording situation it must be said).

    I use FL Studio gnralement 44.1 Khz and all goes bien.Si I push the RESOLUTION 48KHz, which is my computer fixed soon declare it (it should go Vista 64 and 4 GB of Ram or Mac).

    It's destiny to gear models. I find it a shame to invest twice as much for the RME or Motu where not ncessaire (especially as a not enough to work pro). Well, of sr, it is not the ultimate sound card, it does not RVer. For the RVE, we need PPET.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I like the ergonomics, taking up little space, the ease of use, the quality of four microphone inputs, the quality of convertos, managing noon, SPDIF i / o Intgr the transformer does not heat internal, external immedia who do not eat three catches, the price.

    I do not like the level of headphones too low. I find it unfortunate that there is no legalization dsp output, which would damn t practice.

    Finally, a map of an excellent quality price, stable quality, lgre and friendly.

    UTILIZATION

    The drivers are stable?

    I've never had a problem, sometimes to start my mac crashes when the fast track is the default audio output.

    What software do you use most often? What latency you get? How many tracks do you manage to record / playback simultaneously? ...

    I use it with Garageband and Logic, so far I have recorded 6 tracks simultaneously without worries, and read up to 70 tracks beyond it gets really tedious.

    GETTING STARTED

    The plant was a driver has finished DL and it works only tt.

    The implementation is simple it's plug'n'play, the configuration is very simple, the gain knobs have a race quite sensitive, very logarithmic, power is the limit.

    I served with microphones where the guitars with direct input and it works very well, he has a latency between return and direct passage through the DAW is quite normal.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 6-7 months it works really well, it is portable which is great practice for recording of repeat or quickly make friends with a few microphones and a computer.

    I also have a PCI interface on a PC, which in most ESI 10/10 E & S, but less portable and less convenient so that a bit dated, latency and performance limits were soft.

    I find the value for money very good, good quality preamp, this is a bit fragile I have fallen several times and the fact I farted and I have an LED holes pierced opposite the button because the hull is moved ... more than just end it unless the interface ...

    With the experience I referrer the same choice when perhaps j'obterai for the Fast Track Ultra 8 for more entries.

    I have virtually no latency. It can accommodate any event or if you enrengistre mix.

    GETTING STARTED

    The implementation and installation is super simple, the manual is super clear ..... I do not see what could be improved on this point ... it's perfect.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 6 months, I had the fast track pro simple before. The value taken is great. I like its quality, simplicity, small simple and unobtrusive, its pleasurable effects for a singer when recording for example, two headphone jacks.
    I do not see any negative side .... besides, he has only to read the article ..... Audiofanzine Their negative side are not really ...

    With experience I would do without hesitation that choice
    In conclusion, I concur with stosb.
    I am surprised by some negative opinion .... they seem free and we have no detailed explanation ....

    There are better and more stable?? A yes what .....?
    Driver not stable?? mmm ....

    I really do not understand what is wrong ... My grandmother could even install the drivers ...

    The only "prb I met once and that my card was no longer recognized by the computer. If so, reboot your pc or followed the advice in section Groromrom trick .... but it happened only once.

    Several Hi-Z inputs, can be powered via USB, two headphones, many outputs, midi, low latency, direct monitoring, compatibility win7 ... in short, everything I needed!
    I thought I would never use the built-in effects, but actually it is nice to record a guitar live monitoring or for playing over a video example. As against these effects are really bad quality, although I could not use them on the final render!

    I said that I bought from OCCAZ, but in mint condition (3 months of use low intensity).


    UTILIZATION

    I downloaded the latest drivers on the site of m-audio win7.

    UTILIZATION

    I downloaded the latest drivers on the site of m-audio win7.
    They are stable (except the user 'high performance'), but few seem to be updated ... (See below).

    I mainly use reaper and various plugins. I record without pb 2 tracks at the same time and I listen as much as my processor can read.

    latency 4 ms 24bits/48kHZ with some VST plugins.

    I put 8 for stable drivers but not yet mature on Win7.


    GETTING STARTED

    I use two ordis: a fixed (Core2Duo 3.2GHz, 2GB RAM) with win7 x64, a netbook (eeepc 1000 Atom 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM) with win7 x86.
    In 2 cases, the installation was done in 30 seconds (say 1 minute on the netbbok!) Without a hitch. The card works immediately and the sound is excellent compared to my sound chipset.
    Just for the curious that I can even play with the netbook Ninjam reaper via a VST LePou, cab through a simulation of Kefir, and a VST emulation TubeScreamer!

    The setup is straightforward: a page of input levels for each pair of outputs. I have not read the manual: /
    I'm the type to press the buttons to test. Exactly ...
    There is a button 'High Performance' which made me the eye. I support it, the driver tells me I have to restart the map. = Card reboot the computer freeze full, I had never seen it since I switched to win7! Well ... I do a hard reset of my pc that restarts. I start the map re-freeze.

    I had to do a system restore to a state prior to installing the driver, then reinstall it to fix the problem! Fortunately I am not too computer neophyte, I did that right away and I took care to create a restore point in case ... m'enfin it's still a bit crappy.

    In good tester I do the same manipulation on the netbook, to see ... Rebelote: total freeze. After some research on the m-audio forum, it happens to be the pilot who win7 plant completely if you check this box famous 'High Performance'.

    This problem has been reported to m-audio since November 2009 and still no new driver. Super track. : (

    Well, apart from this incident, everything works perfectly and without tedious config so it suits me. I put 8.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought the MPO-hand two weeks ago. I like the sound, the number of connections, overall stability, the knobs on the front. I appreciate the same effects (pretty rotten but practical) on the monitor. I do not like the driver not finished and not updated, but recognize that it is stable when we know what not to touch.

    This is my first external sound card so I have no recoil. I was looking for an interface with multiple inputs Hi-Z, USB2 (netbook does not have firewire, besides the latest macbooks ... it does not bode well for the firewire), more than 2 outputs, noon.
    I briefly looked at all the interfaces to less than 250 € and FTU in OCCAZ seemed to be the best choice. For that price (240 fdp in with 2years and 9 months warranty) I think I could not find better.

    Having a card creative SB Live that sometimes walked xp (I swore never to buy Creative / E-MU drivers because of their m ****) I know what galleys may cause a sound card. This one works perfectly the first time, without conflict with my onboard sound card to switch between the two is immediate and automatic when I turn on / turn out the FTU. Brief apart from a small concern for 'high performance' which is not a problem since I have only 4 ms of latency in 'normal', it's all good.
    I would do this choice!
