Easy USB connection and quality 24-bit A/D transfer works with most computers
The Fast Track USB is a snap to use. It works with virtually all Mac and Windows computer hardware and software. A simple connection of a USB cable and you're set to go! Even the power travels through the USB cable, so the Fast Track USB has no need for a power cord or AC adapter. And, with support for OS X CoreAudio, ASIO2, WDM for Windows plus Kernel Streaming, your Fast Track USB will be recognized no matter what software program you're using. Once connected, it delivers great 24-bit/48kHz digital audio to your sequencer or recording software.

Instrument/line and microphone inputs allow recording any audio source
The Fast Track USB has an instrument/line input for instruments like guitar, bass and keyboards, plus an XLR microphone input for recording vocals or other acoustic sounds using a dynamic mic. Digital audio output travels through the USB cable. Plus, the Fast Track USB includes stereo RCA analog outputs so you can send your audio to a monitor system, and a headphone output on the front panel for monitoring your recording privately.

GT Player Express software offers great guitar effects and audio file playback
Guitar players will especially like the Fast Track USB's included GT Player Express software. It gives you killer effects for Blues, Nu Metal and other styles, plus virtual stomp boxes such as a noise gate, chorus, reverb and EQ so you don't need any other gear to sound great. GT Player Express also plays standard audio files like AAC, MP3 and WAV that let you learn and jam along with your favorite music.
