M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB Audio Interface Reviews

"Excellent product."
Feature:
Two XLR inputs, to TRS inputs, insert ports, TRS, RCA, and S/PDIF outputs, a headphone port, phantom power, I would say this little box is fairly full-featured, especially considering the price range it is in.

Quality:
Despite being made of plastic, the product is hefty and feels solidly built. I would not worry too much if I dropped it. The only things that bug me are the small plastic switches for the A/B, pad, etc, and the iffy gain controls. Just one millimeter too far and whoa, watch out.

Value:
Given the amount of features offered, this is an excellent value.

Desirability:
The colorful design was somewhat attractive.

Sound:
The sound is clear and free from audible noise at low levels. However, at high gain levels, the noise floor begins to come up a little bit, especially if you're using it with equipment that already has a lot of intrinsic noise.

Ease of Use:
Honestly, I am not sure how so many other people managed to have so many problems. After installing the drivers and plugging the unit in, it worked perfectly. There were some recording errors at first, but increasing the latency eliminated them completely. I have been recording with Adobe Audition 3 without any further errors or hicups at all.

Support:
I haven't had to deal with support, because the product has worked almost perfectly. The information I needed to fix the aforementioned recording error was provided in the online manual.

Overall:
I expect this product to fulfill my recording needs for the foreseeable future.

"Not too shabby! Way to go, M-Audio."
Feature:
Good all around feature mix; if you can get by with the channel count, it's pretty well executed. Makes a great interface to throw in the computer bag and take along since it's bus powered.

Quality:
Plasticky, but light and feels fairly solid for all of that. Knobs are less than robust, but no real obvious design failures that I can see.

Value:
I got this at a store closing sale for about 30% off retail. I think it's not bad for the cost, though, even at avg retail.

Desirability:
Pretty decent appeal - looks nice sitting next to a macbook pro.

Sound:
Doggone good sound compared to other USB interfaces I've worked with. Clean input channel, and really does 24/96.

Ease of Use:
Pretty simple to get working. You'll need to install 'drivers' on your Mac (you get a system prefs panel for controlling the FTP).

Support:
M-Audio has always provided excellent support when I've needed them.

Overall:
Probably would replace it. Hard to say, since I'm a gear head and new stuff comes out every day.
