M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB Audio Interface

M-Audio Fast Track Pro is a bus powered USB audio interface compatible with Pro Tools M-Powered recording software (optional). M-Audio Fast Track Pro delivers flexible, mobile recording with either Mac or PC based computer recording setups. Fast Track Pro features two mic preamps with phantom power, so you can record with quality studio condenser microphones, inserts for outboard effects balanced and unbalanced analogue outputs, S/PDIF digital I/O, MIDI I/O, and more.

M-Audio Fast Track Pro delivers professional recording results whenever and wherever you want, and will also run with Pro Tools M-Powered. A single USB connection gives you access to all the I/O you need for microphones and instruments like guitars, as well as MIDI- and S/PDIF-equipped digital audio gear. The microphone inputs are even phantom powered to accommodate the studio-quality condenser microphones like the M-Audio Luna and Solaris. M-Audio's time-tested driver software gives you total routing control over the 4 x 4 I/O - including setting up an effects loop with external devices.

One of the hallmarks of a great audio interface is its monitoring flexibility - and the M-Audio Fast Track Pro delivers. Fast Track Pro features a powerful headphone amp with volume control. Hardware direct monitoring eliminates the latency or delay inherent in even the best internal circuitry while listening to your input and existing tracks. You can also listen to your input complete with effects while recording by using extremely the low-latency ASIO monitoring M-Audio’ve perfected over the years. Two pairs of analog outputs let you connect to a DJ mixer and use the front-panel A/B source switch to audition cues.

M-Audio Fast Track Pro ships with GT Player Express software, delivering a variety of effects and virtual stomp boxes that eliminate the need for a guitar amp for basic recording and practice. GT Player Express also plays standard audio files like AAC, MP3 and WAV, allowing you to learn and jam along with your favorite music at variable speeds.
