«  Super cheap little trick »

What characteristics have motivated your choice?
-------------------------------------------------- -
I had an MBox first version. These jackals pustular Digidesign is stopped providing drivers for Mac OSX Lion, I needed a replacement that does not cost a fortune, I fell in the classifieds of AF on a new but secondhand copies (never used)

What instruments or systems (console, preamp, DtDs ...) the use and how you connect? ...
-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
For reasons of space I had to turn the amps, so I use my home with monMac, GarageBand and some simulation components (this is good). The Strato Mexican and Mexican Jazz bass ditto plugged into the guitar input on the Fast Track. A few voices (voice-over video editing) with the mic. Why the phantom power supply is fine.

I took his point to not look like a fayot and because there is no entry noon.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable?
------------------------
I know it worked the first time, even before I installed the M-Audio driver, the Mac already recognized the boiboite (good omen that ..)

What software do you use most often?
--------------------------------------
Garageband, Audacity, Reaper, Live

What you get lag?
------------------------
I do not know or rather there is none. I scrape it plays, live, without delay

GETTING STARTED

No problem, I have not looked at the manual.

Ah if only one problem at the beginning (Because I am con) is that I forgot to said track 2 (guitar) at Garageband so initially I had no sound ....

In case it happens to you, the mic input is 1 and the guitar input is 2

Other than that absolutely no problem

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it?
-----------------------------------
A few days

Did you tried many other models before buying it?
-------------------------------------------------- ------
Not just the MBox previous

How would you rate the quality / price?
---------------------------------------
Everything is still too expensive, but for the price it works well
Also on a strictly technical level it is USB1 and the fact there or 48Hz models are more opulent of the 96 or 192 .. in short it is a good range of eentrée, but entry level.
Can not exceed 2/3 because beyond it blows but given the price and it is top for personal use with a Mac to play at home it's pretty close to ideal

I put good everywhere .. in the context of my use (personal use only, has the house to play using the Mac as amp). I doubt this is the ultimate weapon for a serious musician who made the scene etc etc ... preamps for example, do not seem to be killing, beyond the 2/3 of the gain knob it blows a lot.

I would do without hesitation that choice.
