Two phantom-powered microphone/line inputs, plus digital I/O
The Fast Track Pro gives you the input and output flexibility to record voices, acoustic instruments, guitars, keyboards, and more! It offers two front-panel microphone/line inputs, complete with phantom power for condenser microphones. The Fast Track Pro also provides balanced and unbalanced analog outputs - perfect for sending audio to any set of speakers or monitors - as well as inserts for outboard effects and S/PDIF digital I/O. Plus, with its built-in MIDI I/O, the Fast Track Pro eliminates the need for a separate MIDI interface. All in all, it's a great value.

Listen to your music as you record - plus PC and Mac compatibility
The M-Audio Fast Track Pro features near-zero latency direct hardware monitoring and low-latency ASIO software monitoring - that way, you can listen to the tracks you've already recorded as you lay other parts in over them. There is a convenient headphone jack on the front panel. Plus, the Fast Track Pro features an A/B source switch and dual output pairs for DJ-style cueing. The Fast Track Pro continues M-Audio's long history of rock-solid driver support and is compatible with most popular PC and Mac music software. It connects easily to your computer via USB - and can even be powered via that USB connection, so you don't have to worry about needing an outlet, if you just want to take your audio interface, your guitar, and your laptop out with you for an impromptu recording session.

Up and Creating Within Minutes

by Von Malrow from Los Angeles, CA
May 16, 2012
Music Background: Composer, Pro Musician, Student
This review is with the assumption that this was purchased because either you're on a budget and starting off or you need to be mobile and have no choice.

This is one of the few devices... read more [+] that really makes making music easy. It's stable and doesn't require anything other than just installing the drivers, plugging it in, and selecting it in your DAW. You're up and creating in minutes.

I think it's everyone's duty that buys this to mention something very important that is not heavily marketed by the company...obviously. It can only record and playback "simultaneously" at 48kHz, not 96kHz. They advertise recording at 96kHz, which it does, but you have to turn off the playback ports in order to do so. This is not a big deal. I mean...seriously, why would you need any more detail on an entry level device? This is properly designed. Just plug it in and get busy.

Recordings with a good microphone will be good enough. Don't listen to anything negative about this device, usually those are people that DO have professional equipment (like me), and are comparing it to a $10,000 chain. So, with that said, this is good enough to make a decent song, master it through some GOOD Studio Monitors, burn it on CD and sell it on the street. Please take that last phrase with a grain of salt...I think if I was trying to make a song on a shoestring budget with no experience but will and talent, knowing what I know now, I would go for the Fast Track Pro and call it a day. If you're thinking of buying it, do it, you won't be sorry.

I did rate it 5 but realize that is a rating based on my opinion for YOUR purchase of a "my first audio input device" or "I have to be mobile" device. close [-]

Great!!!

So far, I have had nothing but great material from this device. I originally got mines for $150, but it is definitely worth that and more. It's great for a student like myself or someone who may not n... read more [+]eed that many inputs at the moment. I don't plan on upgrading for a while, because i'm fine with the specs and it's great. Everything's clear and I've had no problems with the device. As soon as I plugged it in, Garageband and Logic recognized it instantly (no downloaded drivers or anything). Basically, this is a great device and you wont regret buying this. close [-]

Simply incredible!

Music Background: Drumming for a number of years, tinkering with home recording.
I have been looking for something like this product for quite some time.

It's setup was simple and it works as advertised. I have used it with Pro Tools (of course), Ableton 7 and Ado... read more [+]be Audition without any issues.

I have tried it with a couple different laptops and it works best with the newer models running XP. For a test I did try it on an older IBM Thinkpad running Windows 2000 and it was a no go but that doesn't matter.

I think it may be time to sell my stand alone gear! close [-]

bare bones...

by J. R. Shourt from El Prado, New Mexico

Okay. This product comes bundled with a lot of swag. Good for a person just getting their feet wet. My reason for the purchase was much more bare bones as I am already drenched.
The set up was ... read more [+]quick and easy and I found the customer service top notch as always. Although I have been D.I.Y. / MIDI for the last 27 years I get lazy and sometimes need to ask for directions.
For now I just use the Fast Track Pro as a conduit to run my MacBook Pro where I run Sample Tank. Works great. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
