Published on 09/21/12 at 15:43I was motivated by the presence of good preamps, multiple inputs multiple outputs, and the ability to use it as a standalone mixer.
I use it mainly for recording on Cubase, voices and guitars.
I Fast Track, which I was very happy and go to higher model for me was a token of peace.
I was initially a Sony Vaio, core2duo, 4GB Ram, Win7 64bit
UTILIZATION

Following problems standby computer, I found myself in a few months with bous system less stable, my OS has taken a hit, and I had to reinstall windows. Tired but, after 2 years, I decided to buy a computer to start on a sound basis. My mistake, the current ordis are almost all equipped with USB3.0 ports, this is the case of mine, and I do not have USB2 .0.
Surprise, the driver is not compatible. To use it gives good sound for 15 min, followed by large cracks and a total cessation of sound. Reboot mandatory. Impossible to work. The only solution is to buy a USB2.0 Hub and again, I have not tested this solution. In addition, after-sales service is non-existent in France since M Audio was acquired by Avid. The technician I had mail me dt he could do nothing better than to return to the U.S. or Canada.
GETTING STARTED
I refer to previous topics.
OVERALL OPINION
