As good as it gets for the price!

When I purchased M-Audio’s Fast Track USB I really didn’t know what to expect for such a low price. I got home and installed the included software, and without any complications I started layering... read more [+] some vocal tracks. The sound quality was so clear and with no noise I was astonished! It has a convenient mic/line switch that lets you control the volume of which input you are using at the time. It even has a peak signal so you don’t clip! If you’re a musician on a budget this is the best for the price! close [-]

If you own a lap top, or desk top computer, this is the cheapest and easist way to go. I bought mine about 3 weeks ago, and have used it for my lap top and also desk top. After many years of losing my... read more [+] friggin mind with 'drivers', it's refreshing to install something like this on 2 computers, with 2 different OS's, one new, the other 6-7 years old, with no problems!
I am going to upgrade to the F.T. Pro, now that I know it works so well. Yeah that's right, I bought the cheaper model, figuring that when it didn't work I'd only be out 100 bucks. That's how jaded I am. Thanks M-audio. I am not being compensated for this endorsement. close [-]

Nice Product

This is a great cheap alternative to getting bulky equipment to preamp your instruments or vocals. I bought this thinking it was a preamp only, but, when i got it in the studio it replaced my whole au... read more [+]digy 2 24bit hd soundcard. I would say this is the only downfall, but yet again it is just plug and play so you can just disable and renable your old sound card. This unit does and can replace your soundcard in your computer PERIOD. The sound quality is great, i am not new to recording, but for this price you can't go wrong. 24 bit studio quality audio, can't beat that in a little box. I'm also a vocalist only so i'm not able to review the guitar line option but i asume it would preamp it the same way. As which the preamp has a great gain without much noise. The mixer is nice so as when you record you can monitor your voice/instrument. Overall a great product for the price, you can't really beat it since its a all in one solution with exceptional quality. I'll be using this baby for a while. close [-]
