Wedges2 « Average Preamp. Don't regret buying it. »
Published on 04/03/11 at 15:37 I got the FastTrack about a year ago and I was impressed with the quality for the price. It isn’t the best interface, but I’ve recorded clean vocals with it using a $100 mic. I originally got the FastTrack just to connect my monitors, which worked out great, but when I got a mic and the interface handled that pretty well I was happy with my purchase. Obviously there are better interfaces out if you spend more, and you can’t really expect great preamps from a $150 interface, but for the price it was a good buy.
UTILIZATION
The FastTrack makes a good soundcard if that’s all your going to use it for aswell. I get low latencies with it. I know that my computer is the one holding me back when it comes to that, and not my interface. My monitors connect well to it as well and setting it all up was pretty easy.
My only complaint with it is that it only has 1 headphone jack. I know that feature is pretty standard at this price point but I have to remedy it with a splitter cable so the artist and I can both hear what’s going on when recording.
GETTING STARTED
Follow the manual and you won't have a problem setting it up. It was my first interface setting up and I didn't have a problem. Will work with PT M powered and every other DAW / Computer. It's easy to set the buffer setting except for the fact that you'll have to change soundcards right before you do (which is easy in FL) because if the soundcard is in use the buffer won't let you change it.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, for the price this is a good interface or soundcard. It does the job well and has never given me any problems. I’d recommend it.
