The Fast Track Pro delivers all the mobile recording flexibility of the Fast Track USB, plus even more professional features. You get 2 front-panel mic/line inputs complete with phantom power for condenser microphones, inserts for outboard effects balanced and unbalanced analog outputs, S/PDIF digital I/O, MIDI I/O, and more. Fast Track Pro also features near-zero latency direct hardware monitoring and low-latency ASIO software monitoring, plus an A/B source switch and dual output pairs for DJ-style cueing. Fast Track Pro is compatible with most popular PC and Mac music software. USB connection and bus power along with class compliancy for Mac OS X* make it a breeze to set up.

* Class compliancy supports 16-bit/48kHz 2 x 4 operation on OS X 10.3.9 and higher. Driver installation required to access more I/O.

Professional Recording—Anywhere, Anytime

Fast Track Pro is designed to let you record with professional results whenever and wherever you want. 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. Our 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.

Monitoring Galore

One of the hallmarks of a great audio interface is its monitoring flexibility—and 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 we’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.

GT Player Express

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. With Fast Track Pro and GT Player Express, your computer can be your entire guitar rig.

Ableton Live Lite 5

This special edition of the multi-award winning Ableton Live 5 software lets you experience what the critics have been raving about. Live 5’s revolutionary loop-based paradigm makes production as simple as dragging and dropping audio clips in real time. You can also record linear tracks, add effects, perform live remixes and much more.

M-audio supplied software

Iwas VERY excited to purchase M-audio, but to my dismay, ONLY the usb driver of the whole bundle that came with M-Audio,installed, WHY?
Becuase I am running 64 bit Windows xp!
None of the other software like blackbox and Fast Track Pro would install!!!!!
Any idea where I can obtain the the 64 bit for the whole bundle?
I REALLY REALLY want to get going with this gadget!
However, I am impressed with the pre-amp feature!
Please advise, and/or direct me where I can download the 64 bit version!
Not from the suplied cd, nor the Internet downloaded version currently available to my knowledge would install.

Regards

Johann M. C. Faurie


(I am a bit annoyed that the salesperson did not know to ask me what operating system, or thought it is compatible with later technology!)

Firstly I'd like to thank Dolphin Music for the excellent delivary time! arrived the day after I purchased the product, which was much better than the other company whome I chose who forgot to tell me that the product was out of stock and made me wait a week!

The product itself is pretty robust, and installing it was very simple. The only complaint i would have is the lack of a manual, there is a pdf one, but I prefer thumbing through something physical instead of reading off a computer, but that is just a personal preference.

The rewire software was completly daunting to look at, I will need to go through the tutorials to work out how to use it.

Other than that, it's great!!

I have had this device for about 2 years now, and it has been nothing but trouble. M-Audio's Technical Support is appalling and the people who write their drivers are incompetent. Even with their latest Vista drivers, I get a blue screen of death - and I a not alone.

I am selling mine and getting an Edirol instead. Enough is enough. Avoid at all costs.

I am just getting into Digital DJing and needed a bit of kit that would allow me to monitor the track coming in. After looking around dolphin for an age I decided on this wee beauty.
The options available on this unit are fantastic for the aspiring DJ. I can mix just like I used too with my old decks/mixer setup. The unit allows 4 outputs so I can cue the next track up.
I am also intending to start home recording and the mic/guitar inputs are just what I need. Did I mention midi in/out on top of everything else.
My unit came supplied with Ableton 6.09 LE and a version of pro tools so loads of options available.

    You’ll need to get sounds into and out of your computer when producing music, so some kind of ‘interface’ should be on your shopping list. You might think that you already have the necessary connections, but many of today’s interfaces come with multiple inputs and outputs (for recording bands and outputting to multi-channel surround systems), bundled software, on board sounds and, in some cases, much more, so really are worthy and cost-effective additions to your computer music set-up. In this part of the Dolphin Computer Music guide we’ll discuss all of the interfacing options currently available…
