« Nice little device, powerful  »

The M Audio USB is a very small audio interface device that is very well built. I have taken this thing everywhere with me and I have dropped it so many times and almost lost it once and it keeps on ticking and working perfect. I have used this device to record vocals as well as some instruments and it has no problem with anything. As long as you have a good mic to plug into it, it will get the audio right into your DAW setup so you can finish your session. At first when I started using it, I was having a slight humming sound coming from the speakers. I really thought that it was a defective unit or that it just wasn’t a very good unit. But it was because I didn’t have one of my mic cables plugged all the way in. I wish I would have checked that first and that would have saved me a lot of time , and a lot of time on the phone with one of the techs from M Audio trying to figure out why I was getting this humming sound coming from my KRK monitors.


UTILIZATION

Using it was easy and setting it up was extremely easy. There really isn’t anything too it except making sure that your drivers are installed then you can plug it in via USB and as long as you have a 2.0 USB port you will be ok, most all newer stuff made in the last 7 years or so has 2.0 USB ports so you don’t really have to worry unless your system is really that old.


GETTING STARTED

You wont need a manual to use this at all, maybe you will if its your very first time every having an interface.


OVERALL OPINION

I think this unit is great, its very small and compact and does such a great job. I do with that it had more ins when I purchased it though, but that’s why I got rid of it and upgraded. But for the laptop computer musician , this is perfect.
