At the time, the software provided with the MKII (Pro Tools M-Powered Essential or light), to test and see if an improvement
compared to the previous one was obvious. Yes for convenience settings above, I would say yes, the technical side, nothing changed. Low pre-amplification of the microphone. for latency, forced latest drivers, stability, I think, given the notice also that the laptop used to play at the level of USB power. I have not had any stability problem. Micro AKG and Shure dynamic, AKG, condensate and other 'for tests.Guitares.
With an Ultra hard not to be negative.

UTILIZATION

Stable drivers.
I use several software with an average of 24 tracks. Latency is variable depending on the laptop from 0 to 5, when all is well.

GETTING STARTED

Very simple installation.
Configuration software supplied Pro Tools M-Powered Essential, recognized on the interface, it is against a light version (VST them) trying to complete the purchase.
No incompatibilities. Manual unnecessary.

OVERALL OPINION

Long ago that I no longer use it, I had the Fast Track simple, in fact the same but more "Cheap", with less control, the same connection, so the most: Look, over the access, low latency, software provided interesting price.

The least and it's a shame: The weakness of the preamp.
I can not judge the value for money but in nine to 85 € this is correct, on occasion we must find better (the Fast Pro is already a cut above example, the Edirol UA 4FX, line 6 pod UX 2, the Presonus Studio USB, etc..), it is within budget.
No I do again this choice, it provides little compared to the previous which is still sold elsewhere.
