    USB 2.0 soundcard, use home with GarageBand and macbook pro.

    USE

    Mac, no driver, no concern for compatibility with macosx and GarageBand. I had problems on PC, but it was there 7 years, there are potential conflicts with the sound card integrated on the motherboard, it was enough to disable it.

    IMPLEMENTATION

    plug and play

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    10 years and holds up, she fell heavily on many occasions and it still works great. No delay problem. Impeccable for the Direct to disk with 1 instrument.

    IMPLEMENTATION

    11 ms latency The quality of the converter leaves a desire .. Then by recording rapper jme've realized a huge loss of quality of a recording with this sound card. Jai record the same rapper in the same studio with the same mic in the same place but with a Digi 003 (which is pro amateur range has therefore not bad) ben the diference incredible etai

    Result: Fast Track: Voice lifeless, no clarity, noise. Wholesale AC but really feared
    digi 003: Result satisfesant and very very reasonable noise

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    In the end if you bought a cheap sound card for sound mop and too bad the quality the fast track very well done ca

    if his vows voulai a pro ben map to see BTW.

    So here I am disappointed to have to buy this card but it fai year and a half now I know in mid ca sound card "professional" c in 4000euro min

    with a sound card is 250 euro your sound that sounds 250euro
    with a sound card is 4000 euro ta ki ringing sound 4000euro

    this has more people and good sound

    Cheap occas.
    Simple
    Very easy to use
    PC XP. behind a small personal mixer for the "all comers" but with a console pro borrowing for records that require miking much better.

    UTILIZATION

    I record two tracks left and right
    never planted to date
    I use free software that suit me very well.
    I also have a eom version of Cubase that is doing pretty well whatever it was hard to configure the monitoring; due to my inexperience with this product, but not serious I'm not a pro (Fast Track, for that matter although it is marked above).

    GETTING STARTED

    Very easy installation. it worked the first time!

    As the PC allocated to music and only music (or word or other games or even internet etc ...) is still on XP for a while everything is fine for installation.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I ½ for 1 year.
    I worked a bit with a Tascam U.S. 122 Not much to say very very bad about it.; but nothing special either. I was in the entry level. And I got my money. And I'm still with FTP but there is a little more than the others did not.

    One day on a record, I arrived at the edge preamps. I want to express here is that the sound was not as good as I expected. Since listening to a stereo set pretty decent (I will not do here to the measures that we do not hear in the ear), but realizes no misconception local guru from polluting our appreciation there has a something indefinable missing. And it is certainly not because of 220v cords of all only a few malignant imagining that putting the price of a solitaire it will change something. Duh! Yet in this thing there still has "commerçeux" who still rubbing their hands.

    After much research and considering my budget, I was advised to a Fast Track Pro.
    Not that the preamps are better. They are the same as in most of these good materials markets mediocre.
    Parenthesis:
    Ah yes like "Fast Track Pro"! "Pro"! Huh? Oh I think this material has never set foot in a studio called "PRO" and is not even close to doing troubleshooting. And since there is more, its successors the same price and its cousins ​​from other brands: ditto!
    The real power of this tool is rather precisely that for which I am quite happy to have followed the advice received: there 2 rear jacks insert!
    Yes then? Well simply used the feedback input jack with a stereo "arranged" so that the insert of the "FTP" output is carefully isolated. In this way you end up with a direct acquisition card on the A / D converters without these "famous" preamp. Then charge you to lend you (or lease) a gear mixer with the preamp you want.
    Of course if you can afford to buy you these consoles that cost an arm with real good preamp., I doubt that you came to visit the forum and review the Fast Track Pro. And you is not even reading all this.
    So just for that subtle little sound card features I put a good score.
    It helps if you find the ad hoc gear upstream to record a very nice thing to listen.
    Otherwise the rest for the "all comers" zic oxen between friends who are laughing well and that will never see the top 50; or even the top 500 who do not have a budget stretch to infinity then there is this card very well.
    I even posted a forum to ask if qq'un knew install both in parallel to record four tracks. but no response to date.
    if yes I will seek another for this facility to make internal preamps when the goal the request (for pure acoustic).
    zic very good to one and all

    Ps: my ideal: I recorded a clarinet or a classical guitar. I close my eyes. I ask zicos playing his art. I listen to the recording. I wish I did not hear any difference. ah yeah i know ..... in another life when I'm Bill Gates. ah ben? there is no zic? yeah! but he afford all the gear he wants without touching the soldering iron.
    But that does not make it my idol and I do not want more than that. I think he does not know how lucky he is even if it is with his job he got there.

    I bought the Fast Track Pro early 2012 (it has 2 years) to replace my old ASIO sound card, preferring USB external format in view of the possible purchase of a laptop computer later.
    Its 2 instrument input / microphone with phantom power, its small size, its MIDI ports and direct supply by USB (without external power supply) were perfect for my current and future needs.

    When I wanted to buy early 2012 it took a while I try to find a dealer who still had in stock. I would have bought something else, but at this time there were other bcp's most expensive cards.

    When I wanted to buy early 2012 it took a while I try to find a dealer who still had in stock. I would have bought something else, but at this time there were other bcp's most expensive cards. I finally found my happiness in SonoVente, and the seller told me "it's normal that you do not find anywhere else, this model is no longer manufactured and we bought the entire stock of M- Audio "

    UTILIZATION

    I mainly use Guitar Rig and Cubase. Latency is decent, quality preamps and converters suit me. So far I'm really satisfied, this card is ideal for small guitarist I am.

    The driver ... it is the problem! Initially I had a PC Core2Duo E-8400-3 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and Windows 7 Pro 32-bit, I used the driver provided on the CD with the sound card (version 6.0.2).
    After about 24 hours my system "lost" the road map, which forced me to turn off and on the card to be functional again. So I went fishing on the manufacturer's website last driver: Version 6.0.7
    6.0.7 This version has not corrected the problem was persistent. I did not go further than that, a small on / off the sound card per day is not death ...

    I recently changed gear: Core i5 / Ogo Ram / Windows 7 Pro x64. I checked the manufacturer's website if a newer version of the driver was out in the meantime: nada!
    So I installed my version 6.0.7 since it 32/64 bit compatible. And there is the drama! no sound in Guitar Rig nor in Cubase: (

    So I push my further investigations on the net, and I found a forum that talks about newer versions of driver.je back with difficulty the track and ended up getting a 6.1.10 release.
    How is it that Avid or M-Audio have not posted this version from their site? Is this version is a Beta version?? Strange anyway, especially for a card that was apparently stopped production.

    Anyway, I installed the driver and 6.1.10 miracle, I sound! I believe saved me with a big sigh of relief, only remains to wait and see if this driver is stable over time ... and this is not the case! After about 24 hours, the system still loses the road map, except that when I turn it off and back on, I have a sound that Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!

    In the [panel config]> [uninstall program] I tried the "repair"
    And then it works, the sound card becomes functional and normal sound. Since I am forced to reset my sound card + daily repair driver ...
    awesome, I love: (


    GETTING STARTED

    I decided to contact M-Audio support in order to see if they were not in their drawers a newer version of the driver that the 6.1.10 version I had procured another site than their own.

    Response M-Audio a week after ". The Fast Track is Being Manufactured and supported by Avid You can touch 'em through www.avid.com"

    I makes me the AVID site and there galley, the site (in English) is not at all clear. Drivers side they only provide versions for Mac and side support, it seems that we should "buy a ticket" to gain access to support, not even a contact link to send them an email. Wholesale their drivers are crap and more should I pay for software support? Where are we going?

    In the end I'm pissed!
    For a brand that prides itself on making professional products I really feel they have been taken for a fool. I therefore decided not to push my investigations before a steady driver sentenced to fix my daily driver until I replace the sound card when it is dying.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Before I used a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum bought around 2000/2001 (PCI Rack + external card), not really a map adapted to the zic fluke but she bore the standard ASIO when I had the opportunity Discover computer music avoiding me to invest earlier in a sound card really dedicated to the Zic. This one ended up grilling after 10 years of loyal service, which is why I bought the Fast Track Pro, which showed a clear improvement in sound quality and a good ability to manage projects with 30 or Cubase 40 tracks and a multitude of virtual instruments based samples (so heavy compared to synthesized sounds).

    After 2 years of use I am always satisfied with the sound quality of this card, I urinate copiously against M-Audio (which kindly returns the baby to Avid without getting wet) and especially on Avid I conchie policy support .

    So those (or those) who would buy this card, buy something else!
    At the time of this writing (January 2014), other brands have released USB external sound card to the same capacity and number of entry in a price range € 120/180, go rather squint their side and AVID flee, at least for their consumer line.

    UTILIZATION

    This interface problems of co-habitation with the sound cards of all pc on which I connected. Obviously, it would have to do it there (which is not always possible).
    On the other hand, if it is disconnected while a program is using the pc crash, but if it is connected during a pc goes to sleep, it crashes too.

    As she served me as a PC dedicated to recording, it was bearable.

    GETTING STARTED

    Installation was carefree but cohabitation with some programs (guitar pro, for example) is laborious ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    Next record, nothing to say. The quality is there, above what my ears perceive.
    Side connection, everything is also: the headphone jack, the headphone mix input / pc, direct broadcasting, I lack nothing.

    Or that gene, the preamp input: I do not know judge its quality, but it has no progressive: 1/8 of the race, a weak signal passes to a saturated signal.
    I fixed it by buying a two preamp inputs.

    Same for the headphone output: my headset is high impedance and the output volume is too low (it is very correct on a low-impedance headphones). So, I had to buy a headphone amp.

    In summary, if you have a regular headset and you should not change too often the entry level, it's a great interface.
    A remake, everything depends on the likely cost of an interface with a preamp worthy of the name, but it must be much more expensive. If not, well, I'm satisfied.

    UTILIZATION

    In my config (see above) I can not stop having problems cuts, as if the USB port was disconnected (stop signal windows7 sound and the device has been disconnected). When I work on Ableton Live8 away, or I listen to music on VLC media player, the cuts are frequent, and my monitor Prodipe Pro8 do not appreciate! The digital interface, compared to the profire410 is zero! Before I could get there by the "Audio Preferences" Live8! Nothing to do here, you must make settings for latency and sample rate frequency sampling, outside (under windows7) and I can not go below 1024 samples with a latency of 51.3 ms general! And I still have more cuts!
    I use it only rarely recording ...
    I downloaded it two days ago, saying the driver be updated to Windows7, and then ... THIS IS EVEN WORSE!
    So, this driver is zero! and in addition they are not updated, because the version I downloaded was actually the same as the previous one, and it works even less ....

    GETTING STARTED

    Simple installation.
    General config is not easy depending on the OS used!
    The card is compatible with laptop PC with IDE and SATA HDD Windows7.
    Manual is a little too simple .. same as for problems, call M-Audio support, which is altogether exceed about this product ....

    OVERALL OPINION

    I did some research on the problems with this card, and I finally found out why!!
    Initially I noticed that when I listened to music via the Internet, it "jumped" ... so why not?
    And it's crazy as a response: in fact there is a compatibility problem with IDE SATA HDD, which are present in most of the markets ordis mobile! And yes, hard to understand that the manufacturer (Audio Avid and M) balance a new product that has compatibility issues with standard hard drives!! Proof, it remains for sale 10 months, then it was removed Market!
    I feel I have been a little wrong, I trusted the brand and this is the result! I'll sell it and would take another brand, USB2.0, please, because USB1 .0 card is a bit light too!

    I used it for 1 year started computer music, with hindsight I would certainly find flaws (not scalable!) But I do not regret having started with!

    I recommend it to any one who want to start but definitely not for young groups who want to make a model!

    On my setup, I found absolutely no latency problem.

    UTILIZATION

    Driver stable under Windows Seven 64. In fact, I never met any problems. I use ProTool MP9, which was bundled with the interface, this software is fine with me and he can do everything from the start. Still, I acquired what plug-in thereafter.
    Zero latency.

    GETTING STARTED

    Installation under 64 Seven performed flawlessly. It's all very well.
    The paper manual is reduced to its simplest form but honestly, it's such a simple installation and configuration mnuel that is absolutely not necessary.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Quality is at the rendezvous, total ease of use, my opinion can only be very positive. A 149 € with ProoTools MP9, I think this is a bundle on quality / price unbeatable. The brand has, rightly, an excellent reputation, so we do not risk anything.
    With hindsight and experience, I would choose today for a model with 4 inputs but while staying at M-Audio.

    Nice starting package

    M-Audio Fast Track ProPublished on 07/25/12 at 01:39
    M Audio Fast Track Pro was a very affordable interface that I purchased from eBay in a package deal online about 2 years ago. It came with a basic version of pro tools. I think the pro tools version that it came with was the student version. That version of pro tools was really limited, I ended up giving that version of pro tools away because I already had the full version of pro tools installed on my mac and didn’t need it.


    UTILIZATION

    The Fast track pro was more for a beginner if you ask me, that is the reason that It didn’t work for me long. I was just at the point in my music career where I was trying to expand, and using the fast track pro wasn’t going to let me expand and …

    UTILIZATION

    The Fast track pro was more for a beginner if you ask me, that is the reason that It didn’t work for me long. I was just at the point in my music career where I was trying to expand, and using the fast track pro wasn’t going to let me expand and record multiple inputs at the same time . It really isn’t that type of device, its more for beginners who are recording simple things and aren't expanding right now.


    GETTING STARTED

    Fast Track Pro does work great in a few different programs and DAW's. And updating the drivers is easy because M Audio will keep in contact with you if you need to update the drivers. But when I purchased this I plugged it in and it was recognized right away and I didn’t have to load any disk in or anything. I don’t know how it did this but it did. I was not complaining.


    OVERALL OPINION

    I was able to use this on my laptop and my desktop pc without upgrading or loading any extra software or drivers onto my system. It was truly plug and play. I am not sure if it will be the same for everyone, but I really recommend using this if you are just getting into recording music. Look on eBay and purchase the package deal with pro tools. It is a great starting point

    UTILIZATION

    Plug and play, no external power required. Easy to use. Against it by a galley max ... I do not use more than for voice, my multi effect pedal does a much better job as an external card.

    Latency level that I'm a little quickly come to the cracking in the cassque ... Can not go lower than 512 in buffer. So inevitably the latency patis ... My pedal down to 124 or even less easy.

    GETTING STARTED

    Easy

    OVERALL OPINION

    I wanted to join M-Audio, but you pay 15 euros to get them online!
    I said that the price depends on the product: for example, to talk to an Avid Media Composer problem, you have to pay 200 euros!
    I tried reinstalling the fast track to another machine with a freshly installed windows (past week) and once again!

    GETTING STARTED

    Ah yes, the installation is done with problems! I put on my computer the installation CD that came with the fasttrack and a window opens explaining that an error 6003 (I think) and I can not install the machine. I am therefore obliged to find the driver on the site.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've used several sound cards before it, including an m-audio Ozonic that I had not been asked so many problems.

    With this experience I never do it again of course this choice.

    How often are updated?

    What you get lag?
    - Cubase 9ms
    - Pro tools ... not much.

    GETTING STARTED

    The installation is done it without problem?
    - Since I spent seven + pro tools .... a galley nameless! and yet I am a computer and I do computer music since 1988 (Atari ST, cubase 2.6! any one time) ...

    The general configuration is easy?
    The conf-in driver, yes, the conf ... to solve problems .. there's oula through hair pulling.

    -Overall, do not complain.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Did you tried many other models before buying it?
    -Some or too expensive (Digidesign 003) or disappointing (EMU0404) ... etc.

    What is so special that you love the most, least?
    -An external enclosure, it is very practical but this model to large concerns for reliability.

    How would you rate the quality / price?
    - By the time I bought it, there was no picture, now, go your way.

    With experience, you do again this choice? ...
    -Oh no!

    Now, let me explain:
    I started having problems with his shrivelling and entries on XP glutted with cubase ... but not all the time.
    I usually managed to find a parade downgradant drivers.

    Arrived in seven, that's complicated. With cubase, recording session was inoperable when in administrator user session, it would look ... wrong. According to my logic, it would surely be of the opposite, but nevermind.

    I have acquired pro-tools m-powered so you can work with my guitar to it on mac with pro tools.
    At first, no problem, sometimes the problem of its saturated entry returned but disappeared after a reboot.
    Then it started to affect the reading too, but only with pro tools (and also cubase) until the day when it no longer has stopped ...

    I've scoured the forums and found the solution, it is unlikely but true .....
    Problem of compatibility with IDE hard drives ..
    When I changed my machine, I have kept for archiving my old IDE hard drives .... they were in conflict with IRQ the sound card. Without touching anything in the config software and disconnecting IDE drives ... no problem!

    I have a DJ scratcher in my group who bought this card 15 days ago to be able to join us on pro tools ... he screams to death! the sound is crackling reading and saturated recording ... it is unusable!
    He has a mac book pro ...

    I have to buy hardware that's why I still preserves but as soon as I can, it gives off!

But I never used it with pro tools I used it with cubase and fl studio many years ago.


    UTILIZATION

    Latency is very minimal even with my keyboards going through it really didn’t have much of a latency at all. I used this thing daily for a while because I traded in some of my gear to get more gear and needed a cheap interface. I only record 1 track at a time with it, and the drivers don’t get updated often.


    GETTING STARTED

    I had no compatibility issues which is strange because most audio interfaces will give you some sort of a struggle when using them with foreign softwares. The manual was on point and very easy to understand. All of the function of the interface are right on the interface its self and noting is tricky to understand.


    OVERALL OPINION

    Overall, I love this interface and will continue to use it when needed. Its very portable, but it feels really cheap though. The knobs are plastic and its not heavy duty at all. Scared to drop it, because it might spit wide open if I do. So I handle it with care, it provides a great sound with low latency . I have tried several interfaces from M audio and all of them are a little different but this one is one of my favorite ones that they make. I am very happy with my purchase of the M Audio Fast Track Pro. I would buy it again in a heart beat.

    no opinion on these issues given the general result

    GETTING STARTED

    bah! how to say?
    does not turn this matter too
    provides the driver does not work, must therefore be downloaded via a website M-AUDIO
    it crashes in reading, recording and best of all, my click is gone ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    distributed quickly where it came from considering the problems of stability and routing I met with, it is difficult to speak well
    Off the sound that is correct, the preamps that are there to form, there's not much to say except that those for whom it operates must be satisfied for the price and format and easy USB portable

    I've had an Echo Gina 3G card, nothing to do I tell you, but twice as expensive it must be said ...

    ok for a beginner

    M-Audio Fast Track ProPublished on 10/06/11 at 22:57
    The M Audio Fast Track Pro was perfect for my home set up because it has audio and midi. The latency on it is pretty low if your computer can handle running low latency with asio drivers. It comes with Ableton Live Lite 4, but I never really use that anymore.

    UTILIZATION

    This thing is extremely easy to set up. Just follow the directions, and you'll have NO problem. Other than that, I was recording in Sonar 5.2 Producer within minutes. I didn't give this 10's across the board because it could have more features, but it's still pretty loaded. It feels pretty solid and it's not a bad price (bought mine for $200). If you want ease of use for programs like Sonar, or you want to get you…

If you want ease of use for programs like Sonar, or you want to get you feet wet with the almighty PRO TOOLS (m-powered); go ahead and buy this thing. I wanted to get into Pro Tools and I always like having extra recording equipment around.

    GETTING STARTED

    Getting started couldn’t be any easier, it was basically plug and play. My software recognized it right off the bat and was synced in and ready to go.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Overall, The build quality is okay and the thing is extremely easy to setup. However, my biggest gripe with it is that it doesn't go loud enough. You have to turn the mix and the gain knobs all the way up to get any decent sound out of the headphones. I usually mix at medium levels and crank it up later after I'm done to make sure the mix is right. This thing is too low, imo. Another thing is that the drivers haven't been updated on the mac for quite some time. But since using this I have upgraded to a firewire audio control for lower latency and better quality. But just for starting out this is a good start for the beginners. Check it out.
