Published on 06/28/11 at 19:24The M-Audio Fast Track is a budget preamp for those who want to get to recording quickly without too much of a hassle. The pre features 2 inputs, 2 outputs, 24bit/48KHz audio, USB 2.0, XLR inputs with 48V phantom power, 1/4'' instrument input w/ gain control, 1/4'' stereo headphone output, RCA speaker outputs, output level knob for adjusting volume, direct monitoring button and bundled software.
UTILIZATION
The device itself isn't too bad in the way they set it up. There are no annoying breakout cables, so you don't have to deal with that. A lot of times, people cram tons of features into a small box and then have a breakout cable. These cables can snag and cause all kinds of...…

UTILIZATION
The device itself isn't too bad in the way they set it up. There are no annoying breakout cables, so you don't have to deal with that. A lot of times, people cram tons of features into a small box and then have a breakout cable. These cables can snag and cause all kinds of issues. By having it all self contained, you have a much cleaner work area. It's a pretty intuitive device, and it's easy to use. Drivers seem to be fairly stable, so no issues there. I used this with the bundled software and had no issues at all.
GETTING STARTED
The device is very simple to set up and start using. You simply plug everything into their corresponding ports, open up your DAW, set your preferences up and you're good to go. Making music is very easy with this. The pres themselves aren't the cleanest out there, but what do you expect from something this cheap? They definitely get the job done, but I wish it was firewire. I know some people dislike firewire, but it's still superior to USB 2.0 in real world applications.
OVERALL OPINION
If you're on a budget, this pre isn't too bad. If you can afford it, I recommend trying to get the Fast Track Pro. It'll have a few more features, although they basically sound the same. Try to find one of these used and use it in conjunction with your favorite DAW.

I use a Rode NT1, 2 lecto acoustic (Folk and nylon) and electric, a master keyboard usb,
It is supposed to be used to record good quality models
Config small unpretentious aves 4GB of Ram.
USE
The drivers are very stable
Software: Cubase, WaveLab and plugs adquats
Very few tracks are coutables the same time. I record track by track
No start date
Latency is randomized (depending on the mood of the hardware)
IMPLEMENTATION
Installation without any worries
Simpler configuration
It is incompatible with me
What are you talking about manual?

Before dcrocher a little home studio I had an Edirol UA-25
His only utility in the home studio of tinkering, otherwise it is perfect for listening to music ... like the internal sound card of the PC ... and worse
Well, 90 it can always serve someone I know who wants dbuter.
With the experience I change ds tomorrow and even if there are better from this manufacturer, I have a horrible priori

DarwyddSimple and effective if started
Published on 02/24/14 at 13:36 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I bought this card starting in computer music, my first need was able to record my guitar and some taken from sound via the microphone input. For both tasks the map proves rather effective. I work in Live with Phenom and 4GB of RAM, it will run without any problem!
UTILIZATION
Level drivers no worries! I regularly change the desktop (mac / pc) and everything works every time without problems! card is very easy to use, adjust, and also very easy to route from Live. The main drawback is the lack of punch from the guitar input, however in this small downside Live adjusts very easily!
GETTING STARTED
This card is truly plug n play! I never installed any driver to use (except Asio!)

OVERALL OPINION
I bought this card as I had very little knowledge of computer music. It made me very great services, and given the purchase price I think it was largely amortized! However, if you move quickly computer music, you'll quickly new desires (for me it was swinging my 8 tracks in an analog console) and you will NECESSARILY move on!
