Pro-level Audio/MIDI Interface with Bundled Software!

The M-Audio FastTrack Pro is a great first audio interface - it makes high-quality recording possible, at an astoundingly affordable price! With it, you can take your musical ideas and visions and put them right into your computer via USB - the FastTrack Pro even includes recording software, so you can get editing and producing right away. There are two microphone inputs - perfect for singer-songwriters - and digital inputs and outputs, so it can even expand when you're ready. Choosing a first audio interface? The M-Audio FastTrack Pro is a great pick!

M-Audio FastTrack Pro USB Audio and MIDI Interface at a Glance:
  • Two phantom-powered microphone/line inputs, plus digital I/O
  • Listen to your music as you record - plus PC and Mac compatibility
  • Bundled Ableton Live Lite 4 and GT Express software
  • Pro Tools M-Powered Compatible
  • Exclusive 24/7 Sweetwater Support

Two phantom-powered microphone/line inputs, plus digital I/O
The FastTrack 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 FastTrack 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 FastTrack 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 FastTrack 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 FastTrack 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.

Bundled Ableton Live Lite 4 and GT Express software
The FastTrack Pro comes with great software, so it helps you get started making music immediately. In fact, you can jam, record, mix, and produce - all with the included Ableton Live Lite 4 and GT Player Express software programs. Live Lite 4 is a special version of the popular real-time groove creation, sample playback, and loop software. GT Player Express is a real-time standalone application, which lets you use your computer as powerful guitar multi-effects processor - it's like having a whole guitar pedalboard full of effects, built right into your computer. And, you can use those effects in the studio, for producing, as well as onstage for performances! GT Player Express also offers ReWire support, for connecting to ReWire applications such as Ableton Live (like the included version) or Propellerhead Reason - and it's functional as a VST plug-in, which can be used in all VST host applications, such as Nuendo, Cubase and Live.

Pro Tools M-Powered Compatible
With Pro Tools M-Powered and an M-Audio interface, you can work anywhere, anytime with the industry standard in music production software! You can open sessions created in Pro Tools M-Powered software with any Windows XP or Mac OS X Digidesign Pro Tools TDM or LE system, giving you unprecedented production options for your music. The latest version of Pro Tools M-Powered streamlines MIDI production with the introduction of Instrument Tracks, support for multi-processor use with RTAS plug-ins for increased performance, and a load of other performance-enhancing upgrades.

Exclusive 24/7 Sweetwater Support
When you buy your Pro Tools system from Sweetwater, you have a team of Pro Tools experts standing behind you. We have helped literally thousands of our customers get started with their Pro Tools|HD, Pro Tools LE, and Pro Tools M-Powered systems, and we've even created a Sweetwater-exclusive online Pro Tools Resource Center that answers many of the most common Pro Tools questions - everything from how to set up your first session, to the latest compatibility details.

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 [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
